Do you ever struggle to feel heard in the boardroom? Do you want to use your voice to make a positive change? Well, you're in the right place. Join me as I sit down with Florence Bavanandan, a classically trained soprano and vocal coach, turned podcaster, and entrepreneur as we talk about finding your voice through what she's learned in both the performing and the business worlds. Doing power differently starts with speaking differently, and as Founder of Clear Voice Consulting, Florence is working to address the wider conversation surrounding women speaking up, feeling heard, and retaining their authenticity while doing so. In the episode, we delve into the importance of advocating for yourself, why women speaking up is only solving half the problem of getting a more inclusive workplace, and Florence’s own journey from farm girl, to a classical singer, to an entrepreneur. Florence also discusses the value of having difficult conversations despite not finding common ground, and why the pressure of making a career out of your passion isn't always a good idea.
About Florence Bavanandan:
Florence is a classically trained opera soprano who, having performed at the Royal Albert Hall, and Alexandra Palace, alongside touring Europe and Asia, doing studio work for the BBC and Channel 4, and recording at Abbey Road Studios, is now using the skills she learned to use her voice and hold space on stage to help women speak up and make changes in the boardroom. A former Course Manager at the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain and Guest Lecturer at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, Florence now works as a VC associate and Founder of Clear Voice Consulting, where she’s worked with HSBC, The Prince’s Trust, and Apple to build more inclusive working cultures for female leaders. She also hosts the Clear Voice Podcast “where successful women speak about how they found their voices and are using them for change”, filling in some of the gaps left in many discussions surrounding female “empowerment.”
