Show Notes

What do you think is one of the biggest assets we have and often take for granted, don't know how to use properly and don't realize we can hone and polish it?

Something I have learned at Toastmasters has now come very handy and I don't just use it - I teach it to my clients too. When you listen to the podcast you will find out, how this can become one of your most valuable tools, to make your friends and colleagues listen more intently and with more interest to you. It will intrigue and inspire, help you to hold a space, create authority, warmth, intrigue, suspense and it will give you the impulse to speak from your heart. 

Maybe it will surprise you how this skill can show character traits or give subliminal messages that people pick up, when listening to you.

Nowadays we often talk to machines (record things) and that makes it even harder to stay engaging as you can't gage engagement. 

Now of course you have guessed that this podcast is about our voice and I hope you enjoy some new nuances you can try out and still stay authentic and true to your own voice. Sometimes we need to become aware of something that has been so familiar that we never even thought about it and maybe we can slightly tweak it if needed.
