Did you know that the six most common complaints about the sound of a women's voice are:

Their voice is too high
They sound like children
They don't sound authoritative enough
They have vocal fry
They use too much upspeak
Their voice is too low

For a woman who wants to speak up publicly, it can start to feel like we are damned if we do, and damned if we don't.
This week I had the opportunity to talk to Christine Adam, an international voice, accent and communication skills coach, about why women's voices are more critically received when they speak up in public. It was a fascinating AND frustrating conversation.
I hope you'll listen!
