Voice Power, Quality & Presence

Your voice speaks volumes.

As it carries information, it also tells your listeners how to interpret the message coming their way.  Can you rely on your voice to ensure that this transmission is clear, accurate and understood according to your intentions?

When you speak, your voice exposes:

• your professional position
• your key attributes
• your credibility
• your ability to engage and lead to action
• what you are really saying

It's an uncomfortable truth that people make assumptions and judgments based on how you sound when you speak.  Your voice works in partnership with your communication skills.  Based on what they believe they have heard, people make assumptions about you, your capabilities, approachability, personality and character.

Is your voice portraying an accurate picture of you?

In business, your voice is a critical factor in your professional success:

• 'Flat', 'dull', 'bored' and 'annoying' voices suggest to people that you are that way, too
• If your voice attracts their attention away from the message, then you will not be heard
• Without an authoritative voice you will not be viewed as an expert
• You will not be believed if your voice is bereft of credibility
• A voice that lacks engagement will not excite and inspire peers, colleagues and teams
