Welcome to the show.

I know I’ve been talking a lot lately about mindset but it’s truly a major component to success.

On the show today I’ve got a former student, Danya Douglas Hunt and mindset is her jam.

I know you are going to love hearing from her and all that she has to share around blocks and barriers that keep us stuck and not reaching our max capacity in business and in life.

Control. That’s a word that can set some people off.  No one wants to believe they are controlling or trying to control the outcome.

This week on the Captivate the Room podcast, I want to introduce you to a voice concept around controlling the outcome.

The voice mask of arrogance, it’s the worst one you can have and one that I’ve seen a lot of lately.

In this bucket is defense, arrogance, condescension... charming!

You don’t want any of these because they are all repellants and will cost you.

Today, I’ve got my friend Chris Burand on the show. You don’t want to miss the conversation because Chris is one of the smartest people I know but it’s his approachability and quick wit that will have you thinking about insurance, business, possibility and conflict in a brand new way.

This is a big topic for me when it comes to using your voice for effective communication.  We don’t take responsibility for how we feel, think or even what we say or want to say.

Today I’ve got an amazing guest on the show.

Sara Anna Powers is an expert copy writer and a former student of mine.  I’m thrilled to have her on the show!

I’ve got a special guest on the show today and I know you are going to love our conversation about Mindset, specifically the book Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck.

Creating an invitation

Did you know you can create an invitation with your voice?

You can and you must. Most people don’t create an invitation because they are pushing, driving their ideas, their words.

Speaking with authority, commanding ANY space you walk into.  That’s today’s topic and it’s a critical one.  Commanding authority, filling the space, ensuring you are captivating your listener and having a presence when you go into any arena, whether you are comfortable or not is critical.

This week’s podcast is all about how actors and on camera training is actually similar to entrepreneurs and business professionals and their goals when it comes to using their voices.

It might seem like they are different…but they aren’t.  Actors and professionals are after the same things…presence, commanding the space, being memorable, making an impact, drawing people close for deep connection…
