Be a Better Leader and Communicator - Sylvia Larrass

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Sylvia Larrass, Owner of Sylvia Larrass Voice and Leadership Excellence, located in Ottawa, ON, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I offer coaching services for leaders who are looking to improve their voice and communication skills and become more confident leaders. Customers are typically professionals/executives with challenges around clear, relevant, and authentic communication who want to make an impact.

Tell us about yourself

I started my career as a voice coach and classically trained singer. I've performed in several concerts, including operas in the past 20 years. Singing and voice coaching led me to public speaking training, which in turn led me to leadership coaching. It's all about confidence and connection with the audience.

What motivates me each day is that I have the opportunity to awaken that spark in people to transform themselves and become more confident in the way they show up in the world. I love seeing light bulbs go off and people become better communicators and leaders.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Setting up my own business, working with thousands of people around the world in the past 20 years, and had people refer me to others for the work I do.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Self-motivation and self-innovation. You need to bounce ideas off of others, and that's challenging when you are a one-woman show!

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Do what fulfills you.
2. Trust it will guide you in the right direction.
3. Say "Yes, I'll try that! " whenever you can.
