Encontrar tu voz: del silencio a la autoexpresión | Dra. Antje Bothin | TEDxHSRW

La doctora Antje Bothin, coach de comunicación asertiva y autora con base en Escocia, habla de recuperar la propia voz como impulso para el cambio personal, el crecimiento profesional y relaciones más sólidas. Relata su propio camino, desde una infancia casi silenciosa marcada por el mutismo selectivo hasta convertirse en una líder serena y segura, poeta y artista escénica. Su idea central es que la asertividad consiste en actuar con autorrespeto y no en hablar más alto. La charla se presentó en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente por una comunidad local.

• Recuperar la voz como vía de crecimiento personal y profesional
• Trayectoria desde el mutismo selectivo hasta una confianza serena
• La asertividad como autorrespeto en acción, no como volumen
