🦚 From Quiet to Confident: Vocal Presence Tips for Introverts 🦚

Published 8 months ago • 1 min read

January 2025

Hello Reader!

This month, we’re celebrating introverts.

The quiet thinkers, deep listeners, and thoughtful leaders who bring so much value to their teams.

As an introvert myself, I know how challenging it can feel to thrive in a workplace built for extroverts.

We’re told to “speak up” or “be more outgoing,” as if transforming into someone else is the only way to succeed.

But here’s the truth

You don’t need to change who you are to amplify your impact.

Instead, I’ll guide you through ways to stay true to yourself while developing a vocal presence that commands respect and attention.

In this month’s video, I share strategies to help introverts harness their unique strengths while using their voice to amplify their impact.

You’ll learn:

  • How to observe when your voice changes in different scenarios.
  • Vocal techniques to ensure your ideas are heard, not overlooked.
  • The key characteristics of a persuasive voice and how to practice them.

This isn’t about fitting into someone else’s mold. It’s about embracing your natural strengths—your thoughtfulness, your reflection, your listening—and using them to create a presence that commands respect.

You can start today by simply observing how your voice shifts depending on the audience. Notice where you feel comfortable, where you feel strained, and how those differences impact your message. Small changes can have a massive impact on how others receive your ideas.

Stay connected with us on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube for even more vocal insights. Next month, we’re diving into Projection—don’t miss it!

Cheers,

Margaret Izard Oskoui

Hello! We're Peacock Voices

We believe how you say something matters more than what you say.

When you ignore the importance of vocal presence, you risk stalling your progress and limiting your leadership potential. But by investing in your communication style, you’ll go from being overlooked and misunderstood to confidently commanding attention and driving your career forward.

Hello Reader! Have you ever been in a meeting thinking, “Why isn’t anyone taking me seriously?” Maybe people talk over you, second-guess your decisions, or certain team members just won’t get on board. It’s frustrating – especially when you know you’re capable. Here’s the thing: authority isn’t just about your title, your content, or how you look. A huge part of it comes from how people hear you. In my latest video, I share how to build an authoritative speaking style – one that’s authentic...

August 2025 Hello Reader! If you’ve ever walked into a meeting thinking, “Any minute now, they’ll figure out I don’t belong here,” you’re in good company. About 80% of people have felt the same way. That feeling has a name: Imposter Syndrome. And while there’s a lot of advice out there (mindset shifts, affirmations, power poses, etc.), I want to offer something a little different: using your voice. Why? Because your voice is physical. It’s not just an idea in your head — it’s something your...
