Broadcast Messages
The Women Leading with Grace Series
What are Broadcast Messages?
How do we use positive messages to support our full and powerful presence.
Turns out that we have messages - mostly non-verbal - that we unconsciously give out.
A bit of anthropology
Through the ages, for survival reasons, women in patriarchal systems have had to learn to broadcast a message to their oppressors so that they'd leave them alone.
For many women, the message has been: “I’m sorry,” which translates to “I’m not a threat”.
We can choose to change our outer broadcast message.
Why Address Broadcast Messages?
What messages might we unconsciously send out that could get in the way of our full presence and potential.
A client of mine asked me to meet with her best friend for coffee. Her friend had been at the top of her industry, highly respected in her work, and then she took time off to care for an aging parent for several years.
It was time to return to the workforce and her industry.
She had set up so many interviews that went nowhere. She described it to me like this:
“I’m pretty sure that I am projecting some unseen energy, hidden from me – however those I meet with are clearly perceiving it.”
I mentioned this to a friend who told me that this is called a “Broadcast Message.” They are unconsciously sent out from us and could be getting in the way of our full presence and our full potential.
When devising a workshop series, called Women Leading with Grace, I included a part on our Broadcast Messages. Here we expand the learning.
Let’s take the moment to identify these non-verbal messages bringing the unseen into our consciousness. And we work on what it is that we can do instead.
This is a learn by doing program that offers us the awareness and the skills to select the most advantageous Broadcast Message – the one we are proud to present to the world.

About Me
Martha Gelnaw
Hi there!
My name is Martha and I’m a communication coach based in New York City. Over my 20+ years coaching, I’ve found that I enjoy supporting people to get their messages and their voice heard – and acted upon. This way, they can make a contribution and enjoy their work with great comfort and ease.
Our work is to build trust in our understanding and to create confidence in our listener’s knowledge so that they will align and take right action. How we appeal to others and their values is crucial. It’s not transactional - it’s relational - relationships matter.
I offer coaching and courses that are well-suited to help leaders, emerging leaders, young professionals, students and women express themselves with a true and powerful presence aligned with their deepest values and desires.
