Captivate the Room

Welcome to the podcast!

I'm excited to have you with me today.  In this episode, I'll be talking about speaking with confidence, even on video.  A number of people feel confident when they talk to people face to face and of course, some people don't.  But, even people who feel confident in person can feel a little less confident when they use their voice on video or even zoom meetings.

It's a different experience indeed.

In today's episode, I'll be talking about speaking with confidence all the time but especially on video.

If you want to get my free 3-part video series the Voice Formula that is full of voice techniques you can apply right now and get quick results then head over to www.captivatetheroom.com

Welcome to the show!

I'm glad to have you with me today and I know you are going to love hearing from my special guest Kristen Zavo.

We are in uncertain times and I know some of you may have had a job search put on hold or some of you may have even been furloughed.

I know it was important, especially right now for me to bring on a guest that could really direct your steps in how to use your voice when it comes to finding a new job or simply a job you love.

I think you are going to love this episode!

Welcome to the show!

I'm so glad you are with me today.  My last episode was about making an impact with your message in interviews and so today I wanted to talk about using your voice when you interview people.

Now, this could mean as a podcast host, it could mean on a live stream, it could also mean as someone using their voice to interview a potential job candidate.

I do refer to podcasting quite a bit but these techniques are valuable for anyone using their voice to interview others.

I think you are going to like this episode!

Welcome to the show!

I'm so glad you are with me today and I've got a great episode for you.  Being interviewed as a guest on podcasts or live streams is a great way to bring in awareness for your brand and your business.

But, it's essential that when you put your voice out there for the world to see that you make an impact with it and captivate your audience's attention.

In today's episode, I'm talking about using your voice to make a big impact when you are interviewed.  These techniques will also work for a job interview as well!

Welcome to the show!

I'm very excited about my guest today and the timely conversation that she and I have around the economy and money, something I know is on everyone's mind.

When it comes to making money, the voice is key.  Your voice has the ability to help you make money by compelling others to take the action you want them to take.

But, today I'm asking Lou Anne a number of questions about the economy and her work and she's definitely using her voice in a powerful way to share her thoughts about what's going on in the world right now.

In today's episode we talk about:

What we might expect to happen with the economy,

What we can do different as far as action steps to avoid financial problems we are having right now because we may not have been as prepared for this pandemic,

How to solve cash flow issues,

What's important for small businesses and everyone to know right now with the state of our world in relation to financial decisions,

Options to help you right now.

Welcome to the show.

How are you?  Are you holding up okay in this most unusual time in our lives?  I certainly hope so.

I'm adjusting the show a little bit and rolling out the episodes on Friday for now as well as some Tuesdays. 

Today I'm talking about some of the things that you are doing vocally that could be keeping people from listening to you.

I don't address all of the reasons but I do cover some of the main reasons that people can't hear what you have to say...why people aren't listening.

I think you are going to enjoy this episode! 

I hope you'll consider joining me for my upcoming course testing offer, I'd love the opportunity to work with you.  If you are interested just email [email protected]

Welcome to the show!

Wow, what a crazy time.  A lot has changed in our world since my last episode.  I have worked from home for years and I was still very thrown off my game.

I had to figure out moving forward with my son at home, his college plans, everything had to be reflected on and then I needed to see how I could best serve you in the coming months.

One of the things I did was a live training on leading with your voice in times of crisis.  It's the content from that live training that I'm sharing with you today.

I've got a young people's voice program I'm rolling out and I will run my Captivate the Room course tester program starting in about a week.  

If you are interested in either of those programs you can email me directly.

Welcome to the show!

I’m super excited about my friend, former client, and guest Eden who’s with me on the show today.

This episode is going to be especially great for anyone who has really struggled to use their voice in a number of ways.  Eden came to work with me a while back, and I know his story is going to resonate with so many of the listeners that I wanted him to go on the show.

 

Today Eden and I talk about:

What his challenges were as an English as a Second Language learner,

Choices he made with his voice that were creating issues for him,

The ways he struggled to use his voice in life and how that was affecting his success,

What he learned in voice coaching,

How his life has changed since he changed not only his voice but also his mindset.

Don’t miss this episode!

 

Guest Bio:

Eden is a dentist who shares his voice journey, from feeling more comfortable in silence to do an improv show. He’s taken voice lessons with two different vocal coaches in the past. It wasn’t until he worked with Tracy that his voice opened up dramatically, all with a deep dive into mindset and the subconscious. He hopes that by sharing his story, you get the courage to change your self-limiting beliefs and change your voice.

Welcome to the podcast!

I’m so excited about today’s guest.  With me on the show today is Bill DeLisio and I’ve had the honor of working with him and his teams several times in Colorado.

Bill does amazing work for the State of Colorado and really has a passion to work with and build teams that support a variety of initiatives that help those that might be a little more voiceless than you and I.

In today’s episode Bill and I talk about:

His background and passion for the word he does,

The dichotomy between the voiceless and the voiced,

Some initiatives that help those trying to find their voice.

The work that I did for the teams Bill manages and so much more!
