The Dragon and The City: Your Voice, Your Legacy

Dec 3

Picture your voice as a thriving city—a place where your ideas come to life and your influence shapes the world.

This city, your voice, is where you build trust, inspire action, and leave your mark. It’s where conversations turn into opportunities, where presentations become moments of impact, and where your confidence shines for all to see.

But like any great city, it isn’t without its struggles. Your voice faces obstacles that test its strength and resilience.

Maybe you feel comfortable in one-on-one conversations or casual chats, but then anxiety creeps in during presentations. Or maybe your words seem to fall flat when it matters most. In this city, your voice is its heart—and you, its leader.

As the leader, you’re the one who must decide how to face these challenges to grow and strengthen your "city."

Now, outside the walls of this city lurks a dragon—a dragon called Speaking Challenges.

It takes many forms. It’s the anxiety that makes your palms sweat before a big presentation. It’s the fear of judgment that silences your voice in meetings. It’s that monotone delivery that leaves your audience uninspired.

And here’s the truth about dragons: they grow when left unchecked. Over time, they’re fed by self-doubt, past failures, and the fear of stepping outside your comfort zone.

But here’s another truth about dragons—they hoard treasure.

Facing your dragon isn’t just about survival. It’s about unlocking the treasure of confidence, clarity, and influence that’s waiting for you on the other side.

Now, there are three ways people respond when a dragon shows up.

Some choose to escape. They avoid the dragon altogether. They shy away from opportunities, hoping the challenges will magically disappear. Avoiding the dragon can feel like the safest choice. But at what cost?

Avoiding the dragon means missing out—missing out on career growth, meaningful connections, and the ability to share your ideas with the world.

Others choose to defend their city.

They build protective walls. They memorize scripts or stick to low-risk speaking situations. This feels safe—it feels comfortable—but walls can also restrict you. They keep the dragon out, but they also keep you from expanding and stepping into the opportunities that really matter.

And then, there’s the third option: the boldest option:

You can choose to attack.

You can choose to confront your speaking challenges head-on. Imagine stepping into every speaking opportunity with skills-based confidence, knowing your voice can captivate and inspire.

Imagine amplifying your authenticity, nailing your presentations, and unlocking career growth you never thought possible.

And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone.

Just like any great leader, you need a trusted guide—someone who can help you through the battle and show you how to claim the treasure that’s been waiting for you all along.
