What happens when your unique voice holds you back? Communication Coach Jennifer Tarl shares her journey from a Western PA local with a distinct Pittsburghese accent to a global communications expert.

Growing up, Jennifer was told she needed to change her accent to be professional. She shares the hilarious and frustrating linguistic traits of Pittsburghese (yes, we're talking yinz and redd up!), and the intense work it took to refine her speech.

The key takeaway? It was never about getting rid of her accent; it was about achieving clarity. Learn the practical techniques—including the powerful SLOPE speaking method [22:36]—Jennifer uses to coach C-suite executives, and discover how to speak with confidence and be clearly understood while fiercely holding onto your authentic self.

Listen now to turn your voice into your superpower.

In this special solo episode, I interview myself to share the unscripted journey of how I transitioned from a traditional role as a certified Speech Therapist to becoming a successful Global Communication Coach and full-time entrepreneur. This is The Real Work—the dedication, the pivots, and the strategic risks that turned a side gig into a global business.

Discover the key decisions that fueled my transition, including my early interest in accents, the critical shift from in-person teaching to online coaching, and how I embraced digital media years before it was common.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The spark: How my passion for accents led to my first coaching clients.
• Scaling up: Moving from local, in-person lessons to coaching globally via Skype.
• Early Content Pioneer: Why I decided to self-publish books, DVDs, and CDs.
• The 2007 Leap: My experience as an early adopter of YouTube and how it changed my business forever.
• Mastering Media: The evolution from hiring video production to shooting and editing my own digital courses.
• The Real Work: The ‘Say Yes’ Strategy and the continuous evolution that made the full-time pivot inevitable.
