How to Align Your Voice with Your Personal Brand


September 2024

Hello Reader!

Ever wonder why some leaders seem to command a room effortlessly, while others—despite all their qualifications—struggle to make their voices heard?

As a leader, you’ve probably spent time crafting your personal brand—deciding how you want to show up in the workplace, how you want to lead, and what values define you. But have you ever thought about how your voice supports that brand?

In this month’s video, I delve into the concept of your vocal brand. Your vocal presence is as important as the content of what you say—because how you sound profoundly influences how others perceive you as a leader.

Watch the full video here to learn:

  • How your voice often unconsciously reflects the people around you rather than your authentic self.
  • Simple exercises to take control of your voice and consciously shape it to reflect the leader you want to be.
  • Why developing a vocal brand that aligns with your personal leadership style can make you more effective and authentic in every conversation.

As I share in the video, your voice is a powerful tool. It can be your key to commanding rooms, inspiring teams, and creating a space where people feel heard and valued. Your vocal brand can reflect exactly who you are and the kind of leader you aspire to be.
