🦚 Is your voice saying what you want it to? 🦚


April 2025

Hello Reader!

Have you ever felt like your voice is giving away your feelings? Even when you’re trying to convey something else?

Maybe you've smiled through a frustrating meeting, yet your colleagues still sensed your irritation.

Or perhaps you've tried to sound calm under pressure, only to realize you were telegraphing anxiety.

I get it, and you're not alone.

In this month’s video, I explain how you can use your voice to manage what emotions you telegraph to others.

By mastering this skill, you can:

• Identify the vocal habits that unintentionally reveal emotions you’d rather conceal.

• Learn the key vocal characteristics that project positivity and encouragement.

• Practice moving between vocal options to build flexibility and control.

Whether you're leading meetings, presenting to clients, or simply navigating everyday conversations, mastering this skill can help you feel more confident and in control.

Watch our latest video to learn how to shape your voice for greater impact.

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.
