Hello Reader!

Ever feel like your words just aren’t landing, no matter how carefully you craft them? You know your ideas are strong, and your intentions are clear. But something isn’t matching up, leaving you feeling misunderstood or worse, overlooked.

This month, we’re diving into one of the most common struggles we hear from leaders like you: the disconnect between what we say and how people hear it.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. In our latest video, I explain why this happens and, more importantly, how to fix it.

What’s Really Going On?

We see so many high-potential leaders who communicate clearly but are still misinterpreted as “too harsh” or lacking “executive presence.”

Leaders often focus on polishing their language, refining their body language, or practicing "power poses" to make an impression.

But too often, they miss the one thing that truly shapes how a message lands:

Vocal Delivery

It’s not just about speaking up; it’s about speaking in a way that fully represents your intention.

Here’s what many of our clients have discovered with us: if your voice doesn’t align with your message, you’ll keep getting that disconnect in how you’re received.

Your words might even be perceived as harsh, hesitant, or lacking presence when what you’re really aiming for is confidence, clarity, and credibility.

How you say something is more powerful than what you say.

Tone, cadence, and subtle characteristics in your voice all work together to bridge the gap between intention and perception, bringing your message to life in the way you intended.

So, What’s Next?

In our latest video, I share simple techniques to help you align your delivery with your intent, so you’re heard exactly as you intend.

You’ll learn:

1. Why delivery matters more than content – it’s not just what you say, but how you say it.
2. Simple exercises for adapting your tone and delivery to fit your message (think charisma, not just clarity).
3. How to practice building vocal skills in low-stakes environments before high-pressure situations.
