Captivate the Room

Welcome to the show!

I've got a great episode for you today, the last of the 3 part series on unleashing your voice so you amplify your authority and expertise simply by stepping into the power of your natural voice.

Today, we are talking about stopping the tune out.

This is real!  There is more noise than ever online.  If you are getting visible that is great but is it enough?  No!  You've got to command a presence, I've got to immediately connect with you and you have to be able to use your voice to make me feel so I'm compelled to stay and listen.

Oh, and by the way, all of this needs to happen in about 7 seconds!

In this episode, I"m going to talk about why people tune out and what you have to do in order to keep them with you.

This is the last call to sign up for my 3 Masterclass series Unleash Your Voice free training, we start November 10th.

Just go to www.captivatetheroom.com/3free to sign up and I look forward to seeing you the.

Welcome to the show!

Today I'm talking about creating connections.  What people don't realize is that we actually connect with you or not by what we hear in your voice.  Often times you don't even realize what we are hearing and how it's hurting you.

In fact, most people don't even realize how important and powerful their voice truly is.  

There are barriers that certain sounds make and if you have those sounds in your voice, you will have barriers that keep us from connecting.  It's not an all or nothing thing, it's like bulletproof glass in between me and you.  I can hear you and see you but I can't touch you.  This means my subconscious is not fully connecting with you, not going all-in with a heck yes, this is my person and I love them and their ideas.

There is caution, doubt, and uncertainty and it can be slight but if it's any, you might not land that deal, get that follower or touch that life.

I think you are going to like this episode!

If you want to find out more about connection and how the sounds in your voice play a huge role in connection, make sure you join my 3 Masterclass training, Unleash Your Voice.  We start November 10th and you can sign up at www.captivatetheroom.com/3free

Welcome to the show!

Are you ready to unleash your voice?  That's what it's going to take to amplify your authority and expertise and tap into the power of your natural voice.  That's what I'm talking about today!

So many people, even the ones that are aware that they need to do some work on their voice have NOT unleashed their voice.

If you want to stop the scroll you are going to have to do something with your voice to make me want to stay.

To command a presence, you are going to have to step into the power of your voice.

If you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, or professional who can't seem to get people to stop and listen, if you struggle to try to get your words from your head out of your mouth, or even if you wonder why the other guy who doesn't have half the experience you do seems to have a bigger following and more success...this episode is for you.

To keep me from tuning out, you will have to use your voice to captivate me.

Are you ready to have inner peace knowing that you've got just the right words and they flow out of your mouth with ease?  Are you ready to have people hang on your every word?

Are you ready to amplify your authority and expertise and finally step into the natural power of your greatest asset, your voice?

A lot is at stake heading into 2021, what will be the year of connection, and guess where we connect with you?  Yep, your voice.

In this episode, I'm talking about why it's so critical to unleash your voice and start to reveal the best version of you.

It's critical that you rewrite the internal drivers that are calling the shots on your voice and keeping you limited.  It's critical that you shift what is in the muscle memory and get some new voice habits working for you.

Aren't you ready to unleash your voice?

I hope you will join me for my FREE 3 live master class training that is starting on November 10th.

Welcome to the show!

You are in for such a treat today!  I've got a special guest with me, Joey C. Vitale.  I've had the opportunity to work with Joey in my program and he is the attorney responsible for setting up my trademark for Psychology of the Voice Effect.

Joey is a delight and I know you are going to enjoy hearing what he has to say as we talk about making things legit when it comes to your business so you protect your assets.

Far too many people make big and unnecessary mistakes when it comes to the legal matters that make their biz legit. 

In my conversation with Joey, he clarifies exactly what is what and why we need what we need but without getting way above my head in legal speak.  If you own a small business, are an entrepreneur, or if you have created something special like Psychology of the Voice then you don't want to miss this episode.

I reached out to Joey after my work had already been stolen.  I was devastated and shocked that someone would not only take the Psychology of the Voice that I created and crafted over years and years of extensive research, but they also took my teaching methodology.

Joey and I talk about what happened to me and the exact steps you must take to protect yourself before it's too late. Please don't wait to get your assets protected.  You might not think someone will steal your stuff but trust me...they will.

I think you are going to love this episode!

Welcome to the show!

Today I'm talking about the voice habits that are left behind from the Psychology of the Voice Story.  The driver is the story and it always puts in a bad voice habit.  One of the bad voice habits that get locked in is patterns.  A pattern is something you repeat vocally and you don't even realize it.

You might have a pattern of pausing at certain points when you speak, always the same point.  Or maybe you speak fast and then lilt up on the last word as you try to check and make sure we understand.

Everyone has a voice pattern and a go-to.  They don't work for you and we need to rewrite them.  I always like to look at what the driver is behind the pattern.  We remove the driver and rewrite what it left behind in the muscle memory, the pattern, and then you can make a bigger impact with your message. 

You can be received entirely differently in the sub-conscious of the listener simply by shifting one or two bad voice habits.

Don't forget, if you want to join me for a live coaching call then you need to make sure you leave your review of the podcast this week on iTunes.

I hope to see you there!  Oh and make sure you send me a screenshot of the review so I can send you the Zoom link for the training.

Are you different on video than in real life?  Do you use your voice differently when speaking on video?

Welcome to the show!

The other day I got asked the best question ever in my group...what's the best video version of me, Tracy?

My answer, there is only one version of you, the best version of you and we use it everywhere...video, podcast, interviews, conversations, sales calls, YOU NAME IT.

The video version of you is what I'm talking about today and I know you are going to love this episode.  While both versions are very similar, there are actually a few techniques that will help you reveal the BEST version of you on video.

I think you are going to like this episode.

Don't forget, if you want to work with me in a free coaching group then make sure you listen for instructions in this episode!

Welcome to the show!

I'm excited to have you with me today as I'm talking about something important, resistance in the form of deflection which is a mask.

Now I've talked about resistance before but not like this.

If you struggle to take constructive criticism if you don't like the spotlight on you if you demand perfection of yourself if you always deflect to everything you did wrong instead of what you've done right...

Then do not miss this episode. 

A lot of people deflect, it's truly just resistance and honestly, it may be a mask I can't get through.  It is the hardest mask to crack and honestly, if you have this mask then you are holding on tight.  But here is the worst news...if this is you, you won't get results, you can't get what you want from a voice perspective because you won't allow yourself to have it.

It's a big one!  I think you are going to love hearing about it.

Don't forget, if you'd like to jump on a free coaching call with me at the end of the month then just leave me a podcast review on iTunes and you can attend the live coaching call!  I hope to see you there.

Welcome to the show!

I'm super excited to have you with me today.  Today, I've got a business friend and former client with me that I truly adore, Sherry Quam Taylor.

Get ready because Sherry is going to amaze you with all the ways she is navigating her business and finding even more success not only with her voice but by listening to others voices.

Sherry is an expert in her work with non-profits and today we are talking about all things non-profit, business, voice, and finding success in a turbulent time.

Sherry is an outstanding public speaker and has really learned to use her voice to take people on an emotional journey while she reveals the most amazing version of herself.  But, what I find super interesting is how she is navigating business across the board by what she hears in other's voices.

Sherry is a gift to the world and even if you aren't in the non-profit space you don't want to miss what she has to say.  If you are in the non-profit space, listen up!

I'm delighted to have worked with her, I'm honored to be her friend.

 

*Don't forget, leave a review for the podcast and you will join me for a FREE live online coaching call.

Sherry Quam Taylor teaches nonprofit leaders how to pivot from a heavy dependence on program, government, and event gifts and into securing large, investment-level donations from individuals so they can finally fund their missions. The leaders she works with are experts in their field, but when it comes to individual donor fundraising, they’ve simply never been trained on how to do it, so it feels uncomfortable and frustrating.

She helps them learn the exact steps to launch a mid- and major level gift program that feels comfortable involves less dread, and fully funds their mission for the long-haul. She does this nationally through her private coaching and her 90-day LET’S GROW fundraising accelerator.

Today, I want to talk about the voice mask of defense. Voice masks is a unique concept of mine. It is something that I hear. I hear certain sounds and I can identify with how they are processed subconsciously. That's my body of work.

Voice mask of defense is something that I just recently had with someone in a group that I formed. It was a course testing group. And I've heard it all the time. I hear it all the time. And it is the voice mask of defense. It's very similar to needing to prove, but defense is saying “I know”, needing to prove is saying that ‘I know everything. I’ve been there. I've done it.” I always use the example of my brother and the story about Italy and how he said, “Oh, don't go to Italy. I know all about Italy” and he'd never been. Defense is the ego. Defense is feeling inferior, and here's the thing;

All masks are about insecurity. We are insecure about something that comes from a driver and we put something in place. We put this mask in place because we think it will cover up whatever we're trying to cover up and that it will get us what we want. So, defense is very much a repellent and I'll be totally honest with you, defense exhausts me. It's an area that I struggle with because I find it very disrespectful and a lot of people do. And the interesting thing about this mask is that everybody hears it. Everybody sees it. A lot of times, people can't identify people-pleasing. And a lot of times people can't identify needing to prove.

Needing to prove is very often initially perceived as confidence. And then it moves into obnoxiousness. But the initial reaction and perception, especially from somebody that is more insecure or has lower self-worth, is that they're confident. They're really good. And then they get repelled and turned off and find that ‘needing to prove’ mask exhausting and obnoxious.

Defense is almost the same thing. Defense is very much about saying “I cannot be wrong. I cannot take responsibility. I cannot under any circumstances let you know that I feel inferior in any way, which means I cannot let you feel superior in any way.” Now that's kind of crazy because I don't feel superior in any way, but I know what I'm talking about in my area of expertise. I don't know a whole lot about anything else though. I don't say that I'm not smart anymore because I, that's not a story I'm going to buy into. But I don't know a lot about anything other than voice. I don't know how to cook. I don't know much about math. I don't know science.

I have stayed in this lane and I don't feel superior on any level. I think that there are people in this field that probably know more than me. But what happens in the mask of defense is even if I'm teaching, the other person puts up this mask of defense, whether they know what I'm talking about or not, but they want to create the perception that they already know and they already do. They already do it. They already know it. I just had such a great example of this the other day.

I can't even remember was sharing this with me. I would imagine it's somebody that I'm working with. It was this scenario where someone had asked the person I was talking to a question and my person answered the question and the other person said, “I already knew that.” And my person said, “well, why does this person have to even go there? If they already knew, why did they ask?” And I said, “well, it sounds like a mask of defense to me because they have a driver that says, ‘don't let people know that you don't know everything’.”

Let people know you are protected. If you let people know that you already know everything and you push back on what they have to say to you. “Oh, I already know. Yeah. I already know that.” An example from my work and I don't see it a lot, but I do see it sometimes and it's a form of resistance. The mask of defense is a form of resistance and it will come in my work in a scenario like this; somebody will ask a question. It's very similar to the story I j
