November 19, 2019 Clarity in Your Message Delivery, The Inverted Funnel
Welcome to the show!

Today I'm talking about words. I know I don't normally talk about words so much but I have a lot of people I'm working with that tend to get a little bit in the weeds on words. What I mean is, they dump way too much information, get bogged down in the details and then they lose us. If this is you then you want to make sure and stay tuned.
Why is it a problem? Well first and foremost I bet you are frustrated with people not having a clue what you are talking about but second and most importantly, you can't captivate the room if you are in a data dump.
Today I'm going to shift all of that for you with a process I call the inverted funnel.
If you want to join my next group program Black Friday special just go to www.captivatetheroom.com/pvoice and I can't wait to work with you!

October 22, 2019Power and the Neutral Voice
Welcome to the show!
Do you find yourself struggling with what you really need to say - beating around the bush? That's not the best reveal of who you are and actually creates a negative story. Tune in today to learn how to say what you need to say with the appropriate emotion.
**Special announcements**
There is one spot open in my group coaching. Send me an email [email protected] if you're interested. This is the last time I will be running my group sessions in this format.
I need course testers! If you are interested in taking a $1,000 coaching course for free - hands-on, working with me - in exchange for a testimonial, email me. This is different than the live-coaching group. This will be a video course based around building connections, removing vocals masks, and linking that to the psychology of the voice story. Email: [email protected]
Back to today's episodes:
This is a process. There is a lot of life rolled in; a lot of moving parts and pieces. In the past month, through several different personal instances, I have seen a lot of needing to remove emotion from the voice. This may be one of the most challenging things to teach you to do - removing the emotion from your voice (such as passive-aggressiveness). This emotion in your voice could be ego, aggressive, punishing, domineering, or any number of negative emotions that end up coming through your tone. You're communication from a place of a pile-up of negative experiences that are coming out through your tone in an attempt to wield power and validation where you may otherwise feel powerless. You could be indirectly saying what you need and want through your tone, in the hopes that they'll "get it."

Not saying what we need to say builds this up. Being worried about perception builds this up. It's a mask. You're putting something in place that is going to keep you from getting what you're trying to accomplish. Through this process of removing the negative emotion, we are trying to create the best version of you.
Ask yourself:
Do I need to say this?
Is this going to serve them and serve their highest good?
What is my purpose in saying this?
Is your tone lining up with what you're saying, or is your tone communicating something your words are not?
Say what you need to say. Start reframing how and what we're saying, and say it with neutrality. There's this saying: "Restraint of pen and tongue." I can't say that I have never said things I don't regret, or with a negative tone. I have; I'm human. I make a concentrated effort, however, to be very careful about what I say and with what tone because once it is out there in the world, you can't take it back.

October 01, 2019 Voice of a Leader
What will set you apart as a leader in your voice? Start paying attention to the leaders you look up to and see if you can find these qualities in them.
TONE of voice. This is literally rolling the emotions in so that we can hear it. Sometimes this means saying what you need to say with a tone to make your feelings clear. Sometimes this not verbally saying what you need to say, but instead saying it with your tone. Leaders don't have a problem saying what they need to say. There's no dancing around. A leader will say exactly what needs to be accomplished in words and tone. Leaders take a neutral tone. There is not irritation, passive-aggressiveness, sarcasm, etc. present in their tone, regardless of whether or not they feel it. You lose your power the moment you roll emotion into your tone.
They don't talk AT you, they talk TO you. Instead of "pushing" the conversation, they are connecting with you, present in the moment instead of barking orders at you and repelling you. They have the ability to make an emotional connection. Leaders make you feel heard - ex: I/You phrases.
Leaders reveal to you who they are but they are not working in an emotional state 100% of the time. They are calm when they speak, even if they are upset. They're not trying to prove anything. They are calm and collected, regardless of the situation and what may be going on around them. Using these techniques have the power to transform not on your business interactions, but your personal relationships as well.
Until next time, you know what to do. Get out there and speak your truth, just do it beautifully.

September 24, 2019 Delivering an Emotional Speech
I am running another round of my group voice program - more solo time with me, and likely the last time to get involved with one this year and help reach your voice goals. 8-week group training. The date will be set based on the group's availability.
About a week ago, I was called upon to write and deliver a very special speech. My mother passed away about 10 days ago. My father had passed away 5 years ago. I spoke at his funeral and that was before I ever started this show. I wanted to speak at my mother's funeral. I've been asked about writing for funeral speeches as well as delivering them at the actual funeral. I wanted to honor my mother and be true to who I was, and our relationship. Everyone in my family gets a little nervous when I'm handed a microphone. I was the youngest of four and was the last to speak at the funeral. My oldest brother didn't speak but my older two sisters did and had wonderful things to say.
I want to first discuss my process. This felt high stakes to me. I didn't want to miss anything or forget anything. I wanted to get this right. The day after I found out my mother had passed, I started jotting down notes anytime an idea, memory, or thought would pop into my head. I wrote my first draft the night before the funeral. This was only over the course of a couple of days, so it's not a lengthy process. In comparison, my oldest sister sat down and struggled with what to write in the moment/under pressure. My middle sister also struggled with what to write, but she ended up writing it almost like a letter to Mom.
I had split-second moments where I questioned what I had to say but I knew I had to be real, speak from the heart, and say what was on my heart, without worrying what people may be thinking. I had to become 100% committed to my message and release the outcome. It was about me and honoring my mom.
To put this in perspective for your own presentation, where is your allegiance? To what people will think, or to delivering a message, teaching certain content, commitment to a mission, etc.? What is in your heart? You've got to connect to that message and speak from the heart.
To be clear, nothing in this speech was abusive. This is not a permission slip to be abusive with your message. There were definitely things I could have said that would be negative, but why would I do that? Those things are long forgotten and forgiven. What did I want to say to my audience? My audience was my mother. What did I want her to know? Ask yourself: what does my audience need to hear from my heart?
I opened and closed with a connection. I took my notes I'd been writing and made them into this speech. I opened my presentation regarding a post my sister had written about my mother. At the end of my speech, I circled back around to this post and put my own spin on you. You always want to open with a startling statement, fact or a story. Structurally, next it would be:Credibility statementtell us what you're going to tell us2-3 body parts with a transitiontransition into conclusion
In this particular speech, I connected, introduced myself, thanked my siblings, and started with the stories and the memories (3-5). I talked about grace and forgiveness. I really spoke from the heart of who I was and what our relationship was. I spoke about our challenges in our relationship in a positive way, from a perspective of grace and forgiveness which is what my mom was all about.
I linked: what did I want to say to my mother and what did I want to say to these people here who loved my mother?
I never type out a full presentation but I did for this and it was 3 pages long. I used heavier notes than usual instead of my typical bullet points. I knew it was going to take everything I had to not fall apart.
Don't forget to breathe and slow down; regulate your breathing and focus on it when needed (such as difficult parts). This should be worked on prior because it is not something you can whip out in the moment without prior p

September 16, 2019 Benefits of Changing What we Hear in Your Voice?
Welcome to the show!
I recently was on a trip and got in a very engaging and thought provoking conversation about how next level voice, the Psychology of the Voice Effect can change things, what's the value in it, in a nut shell, what do you get out of it.
It was an interesting conversation and I really had to bottom line my answers.
The truth is, it changes everything.
To have the opportunity to discover what we are hearing and processing in your voice and have that secret weapon and then to change that is power in and of itself.
But, we also can look at what could be repelling people in your voice, are there aversions that are turning people off, are you creating connections and especially emotional connections.
It was a great conversation and I thought I'd share the highlights with you!
My next group, Captivate the Room is now enrolling until Sunday. If you want to work with me this year, now is the time to sign up! www.captivatetheroom.com/captivategroup
