Most people are letting life happen “to” them. They feel powerless in so many situations they just can’t seem to control. They may have the greatest intentions and ideas, but their plans and strategies fold faster than a bad hand in poker. They look outward to find answers on how to win friends and influence people, but they just can’t seem to make it happen. I’m telling you that if that’s you, you’re missing out on the most important tool you have in your box – your voice box – more specifically – YOUR VOICE. The sounds that you are making are NOT allowing you to control other people’s perceptions about you. You speak, they hear, they make value judgements and decisions about you. Those judgements and decisions are most of the time based on nothing real. So my goal is always to teach people how to choose the sounds that come out of their mouths carefully, so that they can influence anyone and everyone within earshot. Sounds complicated? Truth is, it isn’t at all. It’s really just learning about the components of TONALITY – the sounds your voice makes other than the words. Once you realize how to use Pitch, Pace, Tone, Melody and Volume to your advantage, you will be an amazing influencer, and see the results come to life. I’ll be sharing info and tips for you on this blog in the hope that you will want to change your voice and see the benefits it’ll bring. FIRST TIP is you need to SPEAK LOUDER. Pretend that the person or people you are speaking to are at least 10 feet away. Let your voice fill the entire room with your sound. Too many people whisper and seem weak and afraid. Volume is the perfect place to start. Get louder, get used to it, and I’ll have something else for you next week. Keep me posted on your progress. Best, Roger
