Julie Fogh and Casey Erin Clark, co-founders of Vital Voice Training, are excited to share "Voice (is)" - a podcast where they have conversations with people whose voices they love to dive into the good, the bad, and the messy of what makes your voice YOURS.

Expect actionable advice about public speaking, confidence, nerves, in-office communication, etc, as well as deeper discussions on what power looks (and sounds!) like, how to let go of perfectionism and use fear to your advantage, and how to show up as your authentic self in a world full of unconscious bias.

Vital Voice Training is a voice, public speaking, and communication coaching company founded to help clients communicate with savvy, charisma, and confidence. Whether you are giving a speech, leading a sales appointment or a brand new team, pitching your big idea for funding, or just finding the courage to make your voice heard, co-founders Julie Fogh and Casey Erin Clark’s extensive backgrounds in speech coaching and professional acting give them a unique perspective on what makes people want to listen. For the client, the result is your voice: amplified (not just louder).

MULTITUDES with Hitha Palepu: Embracing multiple identities, borrowing confidence, and cultivating rituals

Nov 17, 2021

Julie and Casey chat with CEO, speaker, author, and multi-hyphenate Hitha Palepu about her new book WE’RE SPEAKING: THE LIFE LESSONS OF KAMALA HARRIS. Along the way, they talk about the importance of names, the absolute necessity of supportive friends (check in on “the strong ones!”), a needed revolution in how we remote work, and the transcendent joy of romance novels.

 

TOP TAKEAWAYS:

  • Hitha’s multiple jobs and pursuits all inform each other: her years of content creation make her an awesome communicator in her job in the life sciences and her work in the life sciences brings rigor and discipline to her content creation. Where do your multitudes support and enrich each other?
  • In the push/pull of negotiation, context is everything, so curiosity is a powerful tool. What do they want, what’s their “red line”, and WHY? Why do they care about what they care about? This helps you build your case.
  • When it comes to both confidence and taking care of yourself, sometimes you need a little external help. Who can you trust to be your cheerleader when you need a little borrowed confidence and who can be your accounta-buddy to remind you that sometimes, you just need to drink the water / do the workout / get the blowout WITHOUT doing work at the same time . . .
  • Mini-lesson: Redefining power.

 

Join us Thursday December 2nd at noon ET OR noon PT for THE POWER AUDIT, a 90-minute workshop where we'll check in with our definitions of power and give you mental, physical, emotional, and social tools to feel more powerful right away in any situation. Get your tickets here.

Hitha Palepu is a woman of multitudes—a feminist, a lifelong politics enthusiast, a daughter of immigrants, and a mother raising feminist sons. These multitudes spill into her multi-hypenated career as an entrepreneur, investor, writer, and speaker.

Hitha’s passion for the news and politics is captured in #5SmartReads, a Webby-honored social series that shares 5 must-read articles every day to keep her community informed without being overwhelmed. Hitha's longtime blog, Hitha On The Go, established her as an authority on lifestyle topics and gave way to her book and collaborations with leading brands such as Headspace, Google, and Northwestern Mutual. Her book, How To Pack, was published by Clarkson Potter in 2017.

As CEO of Rhoshan Pharmaceuticals, Hitha oversees financing, partnerships, and strategy for the company. Hitha also puts her money where her values are through early stage investing. A partner in Adama Ventures (her family office), she has invested in innovative companies primarily founded by women and focused on women (MM.LaFleur, Girls' Night In, Brightland, and Heymama among them). She is a sought-after speaker on politics & the news, investing, entrepreneurship, work-life juggle, and motherhood.

Hitha has spoken at The Riveter Summit, Fohr, Global Brands Group and was selected to speak at SXSW 2020. She is represented by AllRaise's Visionary Voices speakers bureau.
