It's time to find your voice.

Have you ever felt invisible? Your lips are moving, but no one's hearing you.

It's frustrating when your great ideas or insights are overlooked. It can make you want to scream!

Instead, take the next thirty days to learn and implement powerful tactics to improve your quality of communication.

Whether making a case for budget dollars, being interviewed by a reporter, speaking up in a staff meeting, or having a heart-to-heart with your partner, your voice is important.

Not only will this book help you find your voice, but it will also empower you to use it skillfully.
 

***The author will be signing books and answering questions at the end of the talk.

 

About the Author:

A former news anchor and reporter, Brenda Viola is also an award-winning communicator. However, she chuckles that clients are most curious about her brief career as a QVC Show Host!

Following the 2020 publication of her book, The Public Servants’ Survival Guide, demand for Brenda's keynotes and workshops grew. In 2023, she founded Vici Communications LLC to help clients conquer their communications, culture, and conference challenges. In addition to a robust speaking schedule, her social media platforms offer regular doses of inspiration, and The Alchemy of Pain Podcast shares inspiring stories from people who have made it through dark times and emerged stronger.

Encouragement is at the heart of Brenda’s messages, which are backed by extensive research and filled with humor and candor. Her personal stories of love, loss, and lessons learned open the door for her audiences to bravely reflect on their own lives. She sees breakdowns as gateways to breakthroughs and finds fulfillment in serving as a catalyst for decisions that yield lasting, positive impacts.

A Philadelphia-area native, she resides in La Jolla, California, enjoying gorgeous sunsets over the Pacific Ocean, singing karaoke (badly, but with enthusiasm), enjoying foodie adventures, and working them off at Zumba® class.
