Empowerment starts with claiming your space, but so many of us are still afraid to take up space around us. Author, survivor, podcaster, and Transformation Teacher Eliza VanCort regularly helps others grow into the most empowered versions of themselves. She does this using lessons learned by facing her own biases and behavior, as well as coaching others through their own. VanCort joins Motivational Mondays to share how she faced major challenges one small step at a time, her advice for more effective communication, and her top strategies for learning how to truly inhabit your own space and empower yourself. Tune in to the episode to learn why grace is an essential tool for educating others about biases and microaggression, strategies to become a more effective communicator, and why it’s essential to lift up others as well as ourselves.
