How Women Can Deal with Conflict Powerfully with Malika Williams

The more comfortable you are with conflict in real estate, the more unstoppable you become.  On today’s episode, we talk with Malika Williams, founder of The Center for Women’s Voice, about how women can communicate effectively and authentically without apologizing or overanalyzing. Malika has made it her mission to help women deal with conflict particularly in male dominated fields. We discuss with Malika how women can stop flying under the radar and contribute on the highest level, the importance of having a toolkit for handling different situations, and how to open yourself up to positive associations with conflict. Malika also shares with us The BREATHE Method which is a tool to help women work through misunderstandings. Malika Williams is a national speaker and trainer; she holds a BA from Stanford University and an MFA from the University of Southern California. In 2017, Malika founded The Center for Women's Voice, where she teaches women how to communicate effectively and authentically without apologizing or overanalyzing. Drawing from her own experiences as an actor in the entertainment industry and as a professional development facilitator for the military, Malika brings a unique perspective that is both approachable and practical for any woman who wants to be heard. Since launching The Center for Women's Voice, Malika has led hundreds of coaching sessions with women across a spectrum of career stages and fields - from the entertainment industry, to Silicon Valley and academia. What Malika's client's and workshop attendees have in common is the desire to expand their influence further, be heard, and "show up" more authentically across their different work contexts.
