330: The Journey from Settling to Speaking Up with Kelly Lopez [Use Your Voice Series]

Have you ever felt so passionate about something that you experienced and the lessons you learned from it that you thought to yourself “others need to hear about this?”

If you’ve ever thought something like this, then you’ll want to hear this conversation with our guest Kelly Lopez.

Kelly is a graduate of our Thought Leader Academy and in this continuation of our Use Your Voice series, she talked with our Lead Speaking Coach Diane Diaz about:

  • Her story of going from settling, personally and professionally, to being intentional about her life and work
  • Why she almost said no to a huge speaking opportunity and what changed her mind
  • How she manages imposter syndrome when speaking
  • What inspires her to continue to use her voice to speak about her passions
  • Why she feels her voice matters in her male dominated industry
  • What prompted her to join the Thought Leader Academy
  • The reason she believes it’s imperative that more women use their voices

This episode is part of our Use Your Voice series.
