Encontrar sua voz: do silêncio à autoexpressão | Dra. Antje Bothin | TEDxHSRW

A doutora Antje Bothin, coach de comunicação assertiva e autora baseada na Escócia, fala sobre retomar a própria voz como impulso para a transformação pessoal, o crescimento profissional e conexões mais significativas. Ela compartilha sua trajetória, de uma infância quase silenciosa com mutismo seletivo até se tornar uma líder serena e confiante, poeta e performer. O ponto central é que a assertividade está em agir com autorrespeito, e não em falar mais alto. A palestra foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente por uma comunidade local.

• Retomar a voz como caminho para o crescimento pessoal e profissional
• Trajetória do mutismo seletivo à confiança serena
• A assertividade como autorrespeito em ação, não como volume
