Manage episode 505053456 series 3551517
Áine Gleeson, founder of WowWe, shares her powerful journey from childhood singing to losing her confidence after being dropped from a music group at 14, and finally reclaiming her voice as an adult through coaching and determination.
• Music was a safe, joyful family experience during childhood road trips and gatherings
• A pivotal rejection at age 14 silenced Áine's singing voice for decades
• Joining a local music group as an adult rekindled her desire to sing
• Focusing on connecting with listeners rather than worrying about judgment transformed her confidence
• Singing at her son's wedding became a profound emotional experience that touched many
• Finding her voice changed her leadership approach at WowWe, creating a culture where everyone's contributions matter
• Understanding different communication styles helps create inclusive spaces where all voices are valued
• Small steps toward self-expression can create ripple effects of positive change
Don't wait to be chosen, choose yourself. Today is the day. You do matter, and small steps do a lot.
