Episode 22 - The Power of Permission: Speaking Up With Intention with Ronke Kokoruwe , TEDx Coach
She Leads Collective Podcast: stories, allyship and confidence tools for women
Manage episode 517804972 series 3670282
What would change if you gave yourself full permission—not just to lead—but to speak with courage, clarity and intention? In this uplifting conversation, lawyer-turned-coach, TEDx licence holder and “Queen of Joy” Ronke Kokoruwe shares how women can stop waiting to “feel confident” and start speaking from intention, presence and joy.
We trace Ronke’s journey from the law to coaching, unpack the myth of confidence, and explore practical ways to move from freeze to flow. Ronke introduces powerful prompts (“Why am I talking?” and “Why am I there?”), the role of breathwork, journaling and visualisation, and how “permission” unlocks action—on stages, in meetings and in life. We also discuss inside-out communication, naming our saboteurs, and why levitas (lightness) belongs alongside gravitas in leadership. If your voice has been hovering at the edge of the room, this episode will nudge it centre stage—joyfully.
