WE HAVE TO SPEAK UP FOR OURSELVES! This talk explores the importance of practicing self-advocacy and how it can positively impact one's life. The three fundamental principles of self-advocacy are highlighted, which include knowing oneself, knowing one's values and needs, and knowing how to get them met. By incorporating these principles into one's life, individuals can develop the skills and confidence needed to advocate for themselves in various situations, such as at work, school, or in personal relationships. Ultimately, practicing self-advocacy can lead to increased self-awareness, personal growth, and a greater sense of empowerment and fulfillment. This talk can also be an in-depth virtual workshop.
