Welcome to the show! Today you are in for a treat and you are going to have your mind blown.  Jill Foubister, a former student of mine is with me today.  I knew Jill's work but I had no idea how much overlap there was in our work and it's super exciting. In today's episode Jill and I talk about raising your vibration and finding your greatest frequency to success but what's really cool is that all the points she teaches on, we link the role of the voice. Your voice is a frequency and many of the things that I teach in relation to how the subconscious processes the sound, well, I learned today that I was really talking about frequencies that draw people in get you more of what you want or not.

Welcome to the show. Performing, it's the way many of us learned to deliver our message even as children.  But performing can be very problematic when it comes to connection and authenticity.  Today, I'm working with Helen and she reveals that she has a tendency to feel the need to perform. It's a common voice mask and it blocks connection, it prevents authenticity.  So what's the good in it? Your subconscious feels like it's good, because it protects the real version of you from getting out so you are not judged, rejected or abandoned. I think you'll like this episode!

Welcome to the show! Today I'm doing a micro voice audit with Ashley M.  I love this conversation because this is so common for so many of my students. I think I sound like X or I want to sound like X but I sound like Y. This is huge and the VERY reason you can't just go think your way through changing your Psychology of the Voice.  This is the deep work.  The really deep work and it's important work.  Now more than ever because your ideal clients are seeking sounds, they are seeking connection and authenticity, they are seeking you.   Would you be interested in a 20-minute micro voice audit to find out how you are being processed in the subconscious of your listener?  Just send over an email to [email protected]  

Welcome to the show.  Wow, what an incredible conversation I had with Dr. Christine Li. Christine has been on the show before and she always brings so much wisdom and practical experience to the conversation.

If you ever wondered how to find your real self, your real voice, your authenticity...this is the episode you don't want to miss.

Welcome to the show! In today's episode, I'm talking about a statistic that I hear weekly and sometimes daily being quoted.  The statistic is, that only 7% of the message is interpreted via words and the balance is through voice and nonverbals. It's not accurate, it was never meant to be used as a research point the way it is being used. What is my problem with that you ask?  People are not doing their due diligence on what they teach, this is a problem when it comes to buyer trust which is at an all time low. The people that are just taking this statistic and teaching to it would not be doing it if they knew the data was seriously flawed and it is. You can't quantify a statistic like that with on 32 participants in the study and they were given limitations on words which would sway the study. The point though is that people need to take more accountability for doing the work instead of the easy and lazy way out of just posting something and not doing the work behind it.  It's not fair to the consumer to be told information that is not true. It's a problem, it's a big problem and all of us will reap the fallout from it.  Do the work, honor the buyer enough to do the work. Yes, voice plays a HUGE role in the delivery of the message, in fact I've reflected on this statistic before from the perspective of how it's inaccurate because voice holds more weight. Truth be told, you may not like this episode and you may not like my take on it.  That's okay.  Integrity, delivering quantifiable information to best serve my listener's and students is everything to me.  Being liked is just a bonus!    

Welcome to the show. Over the month of March I'm going to be featuring a lot of women's voices and in most of my solo shows I'll be talking about specific things that women deal with in relation to their voices. Today, I'm going to be talking about the neuroscience of pitch specifically in relation to women's voices and how higher pitch can be problematic.  I'm referencing the Huberman Lab podcast and Chris Voss in this episode. In NO way am I being critical of women's voices.  Women have a lot of societal implications around their voices, many of them lead to women speaking in a higher pitch, getting stuck in a high pitch and not even speaking in their real voice. There are definite issues around speaking at a higher pitch constantly in relation to how the brain processes sound which is exactly the angle I'll be talking to in this episode.

Welcome to the show! Today I've got a great guest for you.  Laurie Wright, a former student is joining me today to discuss life after 50 and finding your spark. Laurie is a trailblazer and the work that she does to empower women (mostly) to live there best life after 50 is powerful work. Laurie and I talk about so many great things in this episode including how to find your spark and why we often settle for what we have and that's it.  Laurie shares ways to find your spark and so much more. This is an episode you don't want to miss!   Guest Bio Laurie Wright, aka "Not Your Average Grandma," identifies herself as a late-in-life purpose-finder who had a 30+ year career in corporate America before finding her true passion as a certified Master Neurocoach.  With her signature program, The Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School™, Laurie helps women ignite a later-in-life spark by reconnecting with their authentic self and uncovering what they truly want out of life so they will stop wondering “Is this it?” She also has a podcast called “Living Your Sparked Second Half” where she covers topics intended to inspire listeners to live a happier and more fulfilling second half.

Welcome to the show! Today is one of my favorite conversations I've ever had on the Captivate the Room podcast.  Today, I've got my former client and entrepreneur Christina Jandali with me.  I've had the pleasure of working with Christina and helping the students in her program so I can say with full integrity, she delivers.  In fact, that is one of the big things we are talking about today, the expectation of the buyer in 2024 and how people are seeking higher touch.  We also have an excellent conversation around why buyer trust is shot and Christina has some incredible insight on this.  But, the best part is she shares a communication strategy on the episode that is very similar to what I teach companies around the world. I know you are going to gain so much insight from this episode!   Guest Bio Christina is a confidence boosting, cash creating Business Growth Strategist who helps coaches and course creators start, grow and scale their digital business online.   From college dropout to real estate investor and corporate wealth advisor, she became a self made millionaire in her 20s. After going through a divorce, experiencing the housing and stock market crash and losing it all, she managed to rebuild her wealth over again. Since then, she’s on a mission to help others create wealth and financial freedom through entrepreneurship by monetizing their knowledge.   After leaving the corporate golden handcuffs, Christina grew her own coaching business from ground zero and struggle to 7 figures in just 5 years. 

Welcome to the show! Today I want to talk about a former client of mine that made a few specific shifts and yielded incredible results.  I believe the process here in Psychology of the Voice is key and ultimately what delivers results.  However, many times one or two specific things we shift become the lynchpin for shifting everything when it comes to making more money, having more confidence and commanding the space. Today, I'll tell you specifically about a few things that I shifted in my client's voice and the results he yielded were unparalleled!   Don't forgot to join me and Sara Connell for the Your $1 Million Dollar Talk on February 7th.

Welcome to the show! Today you are in for quite a treat as I've got something totally different for you.  In today's episode I'm doing some live coaching with Rosalyn Rourke on her audio book.  Audio book sales are a huge part of the overall revenue when it comes to selling book but having a voice that makes people want to listen is critical.  The number of times I've heard from people that they could not listen to the audiobook of a book they longed to hear but they just couldn't because of the reader's voice.  When I coach someone in putting a book on audio it is the same methodology, Psychology of the Voice.  If a reader performs, or has no inflection people won't be able to connect or listen.   If a reader is over or under done, the audience won't be able to stay with them.  There are a million nuances I find in a voice but especially in doing work like I'm doing today with Rosalyn.  I know you are going to love this episode!   Make sure you join me and Sara Connell for our upcoming Your $1 Million Dollar Talk Free Training on 2/7/24 You can register here: https://www.saraconnell.com/your-1m-talk-masterclass-feb-2024   Guest Bio Best-selling author Rosalyn Rourke, MSW, has worked deeply in the field of mental health and trauma therapy as a psychotherapist.

Her expertise further expanded as she immersed herself in trauma work, particularly Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming (EMDR), a highly effective PTSD treatment. In 1995, she pursued advanced training in eating disorders, focusing on binge eating and body dysmorphia. An avid learner, Rosalyn's professional and personal journey into transformation led her to the Enneagram, where she studied under renowned mentors such as  Tom Condon, Don Riso and Russ Hudson, among others. Her influential work extends to the literary realm with her best-selling book, "When Wisdom Arrives: From Imagined Unworthiness to Freedom."

Welcome to the show! Today I'm talking about quantifiable evidence and responsibility.  My most recent research study made something clear that I already suspected.  Buyer trust is shot.  It's gone. The primary reason for this is because everyone became an expert overnight but they couldn't deliver results.  Buyers have been burned. Today I'm talking about how important it is as consumers to ask to see the data, to stop seeking a silver bullet and to ask better questions. As service providers to be able to explain, not justify, quantify and deliver whatever is they are selling. Maybe you aren't expert yet and that's okay, but you are doing the work to become one, that's what matters.   Are you interested in a 20 minute speaking audit?  Send an email to [email protected]

Welcome to the show. Today I've got another episode where I'm working with a voice.  Today is the voice of Kelli and this was absolutely one of my favorite episodes of voice audits.  Why?  Because there was such a breakthrough for her when I was able to tell her WHY her ideal client wasn't buying. This is huge and what I'm hoping to get through to everyone.  Your voice is misrepresenting you.  It does not matter what you think you are doing, it matters what they are hearing and processing. It's critical that your voice represents the real you, the authentic you and in Psychology of the Voice, that means we have to unearth, unmask and unleash before you can really be at the place where your ideal client says...I have to work with you!

Welcome to the show!  You are in for a treat today. I've got my former client Anna Powers with me here on the show today and she's been on the show before to talk about her successful work and business where she trains copywriters to write conversion copy. Today, Anna and I flip the script and while we do touch on her business we talk about many of the things that people are far too often afraid to discuss. Life mastery can get overwhelming at times, being a mom and a business owner...everyone has a lot on their plates and Anna and I discuss the challenges and best practices to be able to live our best lives. I know you will love this conversation no matter who you are or what stage you are at in your life.   Guest Bio Anna Powers is a Conversion Copywriter and Online Business Mentor who helps her clients get paid to write copy through her Clickworthy Copywriting Certification®.

Welcome to the show, welcome to 2024! Hard to believe it's another year.  As I head into the 9th year of the show I am excited about some changes I'll be making this year to make the show even better! In today's episode I'm talking about out with the old and by that I mean out with the old remnants of sound that are costing you everything. Out with the remnants of blocks of sounds that are keeping us from connecting with you and keeping you unable to play big and authentic. All three of these things are critical for 2024, connection, authenticity and playing much, much bigger!   #voice #sales #leadership #psychologyofthevoice #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship

Welcome to the show! Today I've got an important episode for you.  Show me the data is something I expect my consumers to demand of me.  I believe it is incredibly irresponsible to just copy what others are doing.  There is a big difference between copying and being influenced.  Being influenced by to create, I'm great with in fact I had some of the greatest voice masters of our time influence my work and my God given gift.  But, we have lost trust as buyers because people are sharing information that they have no proof on, no proof it works, can't quantify where it comes from and more. In today's episode, I'm breaking down why data is so important and how it influenced my recent research on trust and buying.   #voice #sales #leadership #data #captivatetheroom #communication #connection #trust  

Welcome to the podcast!

Welcome to the show! In today's episode I'm talking to those of you that don't like your voice.  Now, this might not be you but I think you'll find this discussion valuable in relation to your voice and what you might not recognize but also in relation to other's voices.  When you are communicating with someone or even from the perspective of your own voice, the wound plays a significant role.  Wound or wounds from our life are coming out in the voice choices you make and you do not even realize it.   This is a paradigm shift that I want you to be able to make.  Inner freedom, confidence, connection and the success you seek is on the other side of this very topic...if you really want to be set free!   Don't miss my last free training of the year, the Voice Experience, register at https://www.captivatetheroom.com/voice-experience

Welcome to the show! In today's episode I'm talking about the mistakes we make by doing what we've always been told will work, grabbing attention.  Our quest to hook, to grab, to make sure people hear and notice us is faulty.  In fact, this quest can cause us connection and authenticity very quickly.  But the key here is that trying to get my attention does not work.  Maybe it did at one point but it won't work now. The paradigm has shifted and your listener, buyer, person is seeking something very specific before they decide if they will listen to you and let me tell you, it's not grabbing them.   Make sure you don't miss my last free live training of the year, the Voice Experience on December 19th.  Head over to https://www.captivatetheroom.com/voice-experience to sign up!

Welcome to the Show! Today, I'm addressing the costs of needing to be liked. This is a big issue and a core driver for a lot of people.  Needing to be liked is in the people pleasing voice mask family it will cost you. When you need to be liked, it significantly impacts your voice and how your sound is processed.  Needing to liked also creates a lot of angst around your delivery. It's exhausting! Join me today as I break down what needing to be liked really means and what it's costing you.   Join me for my virtual retreat https://www.captivatetheroom.com/virtualretreat 

Welcome to the show! Today I'm talking about the sounds that your ideal client or team or family hears and processes in their subconscious.  They can't unhear the microscopic sounds, the subtle nuances of you trying to cover something up or avoid a topic.  They make decisions based on those sounds and this is why technique won't work. In today's episode I talk about how we have to shift the entire foundation of where we are working from because the old school ways won't work anymore, not that I think they ever did.  We need to approach voice from the perspective of a paradigm shift, a shift of where we are working from completely.  We need to unlayer, not add more on that will cover up our ability to connect, our ability to be authentic.   If you want to join me for my full day virtual retreat, make sure you head over to https://www.captivatetheroom.com/virtualretreat Space is limited!

Welcome to the show! Today, I've got another episode of coaching from the Psychology of the Voice podcast.  This is one of my favorite calls because the issue I am most concerned about is very common. My guest, Kelly has sounds in her voice that are amazing and she has sounds that are causing her to leave money behind.  Her voice is misrepresenting her and I want to change that. This is a great in the moment spot coaching call that I think you will love!    

Welcome to the show. Today, I've got a coaching call episode for you.  I've moved some of the coaching calls from my Psychology of the Voice podcast over for you to hear.  In today's episode I'm working with Cherry May and she has an interesting situation that many of my client's find themselves in...authority getting in the way. The ability to command the space is a good thing but often times we can use our power and authority to keep people out, as sort of a protection mechanism.  In this episode as I work with Cherry, that is what we focus on, strength vs. feeling. I'd love to know if you like these episodes over here on the Captivate the Room podcast.   Make sure you are following me on social media!

Welcome to the show. Today's episode is on a VERY important topic, being ready and having all the perfect circumstances in place before you can sound good, do your best work with your best voice. I've been talking about this for years but I want to talk about it again.  You don't have that option and that is where I see people leave TONS of money on the table and miss MASSIVE opportunities, they don't have the perfect circumstances to deliver their message in a way that makes people listen. Heck, maybe they don't even hear you but they certainly don't feel influenced or inspired to take the action you want them to take. There is no such thing as perfect circumstances to get it right with your voice.  You have to do the work now so when the world blindsides you, no matter what happens, whenever you are called on...you are ready to make an impact and captivate the room.   Interested in joining my last group of 2023 at this price?  We start in under two weeks https://www.captivatetheroom.com/next-level/

Welcome to the show! Today, I'm talking about the absolute fact that your voice creates your reality. Woah, how is that?  Because we decide everything about you from your voice.  We decide if you are a fraud, if you are lying, if you are a person of integrity, if you are full of bs and more! With the decisions we make we take action...guess what your voice just created your reality.  If you want to change the experiences you have in life, in relationships, in business, in revenue...you have to change your voice.   Make sure you check to see if I'm coming to a city near you for my one day live training sessions!  https://www.captivatetheroom.com/retreat

Welcome to the show! Today, let's talk about the role of connection in relation to influence.  When I say influence I mean influencing others.  Connection is critical when it comes to influencing others to take the action you want them to take. Connection happens in your voice or not. Without even realizing it, you may be blocking people out, a razor's edge of a sound that tells your listener they aren't getting it. This will cost you sales, this will cost you influence.   Want to join me at one of my upcoming retreats?  https://www.captivatetheroom.com/retreat I still have a few spots available for my live training in August, hands on coaching, get what you need to move your business forward. https://www.captivatetheroom.com/unlockyourpotential

Welcome to the show. This one may ruffle your feathers because in your mind right now, laughter is a good thing and it is.  However, in today's episode, I want to introduce you to the razor edge thin sound that makes all the difference when it comes to connection and credibility. When we feel any kind of insecurity, nuanced questioning of one's ability or trying to figure out what people are thinking, lack of worth, not knowing how our message is going to stick...anything, we can take on a voice habit of laughter.  There are a number of reasons this can be problematic, a number of things that can cause this uncomfortable laugh and a number of repercussions from it. Tune in and found out how certain laughter can cost you. Make sure you don't miss my last group program, head over to https://www.captivatetheroom.com/captivate-8   

Welcome to the show! In today's episode I'm talking about expectations, assumptions, the illusion that you communicated something that you did not.  This is one of the biggest challenges I see everyone struggle with when it comes to effective communication, even leaders.   Leaders, experts, people moving fast far too often we think we clearly communicated the task but we didn't...no matter what you think you communicated.  To excel in leadership, sales, and building a culture of collaboration we have to get really good at actually communicating, not just the illusion that we have done so.   I'll be talking more about this in my upcoming leadership and effective communication training on July 12th.  I'd love for you to join me for this live training.    Link to register https://www.captivatetheroom.com/leadership

Welcome to the show! I was asked a question the other day that I loved! Tracy, what are the sounds that we seek in a leader's voice to follow them. I had a little trouble narrowing it down to three because there are many but in today's episode I'm sharing 3 sound with you that will cause us to want to follow a leader. Truthfully, we are all leaders so these sounds are valuable and important for everyone.   If you want to learn more about the voice of the leader, make sure you attend my upcoming training July 12th on Voice and Effective Communication.  You can register at https://www.captivatetheroom.com/leadership  

  Welcome to the show! Today I've got a controversial one for you.  Stop listening to yourself, stop replaying your video, stop recording yourself and deciding all the things you are doing wrong. Why?  Most coaches tell you to do that. Right but most coaches haven't done the massive research on the subconscious and your voice that I have. Your subconscious will not let you be subjective about your delivery. Your perception will always reflect something different than my reception.  In fact that's one of the things I teach my students to do is line up perception with reception with what they want their listener to receive. You'll never win this game.  The end goal is to rewrite your voice from the inside out so that you ALWAYS deliver the best version of you!   Want to join me for my new Foundations program?  Go to this link, don't miss this incredible opportunity.

Welcome to the show! Today I want to talk about errors you are making with your voice when it comes to sales. You are doing things you probably don't think twice about and certainly not costing you revenue but you are.  Too many people are making choices that are creating sounds that are repelling potential customers. Or, they are aren't utilizing sounds that will draw potential customers in every time. Bottom line, your voice plays a critical role in retention and revenue, if you know how to maximize.  Today, I'll begin to show you how.   I hope you'll join me for my upcoming Voice Experience, 4/13 at 2pm EST https://www.captivatetheroom.com/voiceexperience 

Welcome to the show. Today I'm talking about blocking sales with your voice.  It happens in multiple different ways but the sneakiest of all is what I call circumvent. When someone is protecting a deep layer within they can circumvent connection and letting people in with a sound that blocks.  I literally see a barrier come up and it's a sound that automatically sounds fake, disconnected and it costs you in a big way when it comes to making the sale. I think you will like this episode!   I hope you will join me for my upcoming training, The Voice Experience, Thursday the 13th at 2pm EST  register at https://www.captivatetheroom.com/voiceexperience 

Welcome to the show! You may think you are being the real you, but in many subtle tiny ways you are not.  There are a million different ways your subconscious will circumvent your sound.  In today's episode I'm talking about how what other's say can create incredible damage to how you use your voice and what it's costing you. In this episode I'm referencing true Psychology of the Voice situations where someone said something and a voice was changed forever and NOT for the better.   Make sure you register for upcoming ALL NEW Voice Experience https://www.captivatetheroom.com/voiceexperience    

Welcome to the show. You may or may not like what I have to say today! In today's episode I'm talking about trying to control the outcome vs. controlling the conversation which is where the true power lies. We are taught to believe we can control the outcome, but we can't.  Nor can we control people, judgement, what people think of us. But, the good news is we can use our voice in such a way that we can control the conversation and get the outcome we want by the way we make people feel. Tune and find out how to shift into your true power source, controlling the conversation.   Have you signed up for the Voice Experience on March 6th?  Don't miss it! https://www.captivatetheroom.com/voiceexperience  

Welcome to the show! One of the biggest problems that I see people struggle with when it comes to their voice and asking for something, conflict, being unsure is being braced for the no. You've already decided that we are not going to give you what you want.  It's human and it's a habit that you formed a long time ago so you wouldn't be disappointed. Here is the problem though, it's coming out in your voice in tiny sounds and it's working against you.  You are telling us, foreshadowing to us to not give you what you want.  You have a heaviness in your sound, you have a negativity, a block, no invitation. It's costing you, the being braced for the no.  Learning to work from possibility and creating an invitation is a game changer when it comes to using your voice.  Tune in and found out why. Are you on my launch team?  If not, I'd love for you to be.  If you want to join me or have me assess your voice on air just email [email protected] and we'll get you scheduled.https://www.captivatetheroom.com/voiceexperience  Don't miss my Voice Experience on 2/28 and learn how to create your own voice experience!  https://www.captivatetheroom.com/voiceexperience 

Welcome to the show! Comparison and your voice.  You might not have thought about a connection before but there is one, a big one.  In face, many voice patterns come out of comparison.  If you are successful, I want to be successful and I could easily adjust my voice to sound like you so I'll be successful. It happens daily. The only voice you need is already in you, it just needs to be uncovered.  Comparing and creating a voice that is based on what you think will work for you is costing you in many ways.  Connection, retention, revenue, just to name a few. It's time to stop comparing and start uncovering the blocks and barriers in your voice that are keeping your best voice from coming through!   Join me for my upcoming Voice Experience and you'll find out how to reveal the best version of you, always! https://www.captivatetheroom.com/voiceexperience  

Welcome to the Show! I've got a great episode for you today, stop watching your videos!  or audios or any playback for that matter. I know, it goes against the grain of what you've always been taught.  The main problem is, your subconscious won't let you be objective.  Also, if you look at your videos you will be assessing what you need to do in your next video and that means you are going to be in your head.  That does not solve the problem, it actually creates a bigger problem. Ultimately, we want to be working from, trusting we know.   Captivate the room 8-week group coaching program starts this week, don't miss it.  https://www.captivatetheroom.com/captivate-8      

Welcome to the show! I recently had the opportunity to speak at a few events and one of the highlights of those presentations was speaking about shades of feeling within shades of feelings and just how far we can take the nuances of delivering ALL of our own shades. We have a fullest expression of who we are, a full expression of feelings, bits of who we are, the experience we represent yet we don't reveal all of those shades...not even close. I hear all of those shades as layer 7 when I work with someone, those shades are my North Star to guide me to get you where you need to be. In today's episode, I'm talking about shades within shades and why they are so important to your next level of success.   Want to be on my new podcast launch team?  Just email [email protected]   Are you ready to take your success to the next level with the power of your voice?  Join me for my upcoming 8 week program?  www.captivatetheroom.com/captivate-8 

Welcome to the show AND to 2023 I'm curious what you learned last year and what kind of reflection you do at the end of the year? I hope to be a part of your world and hear your voice this year.  I've got tons of opportunities coming up for us to interact. If you want to be a part of my podcast launch team OR be assessed on the show, just send an email to [email protected] For all other programs, go to the work with me tab at www.captivatetheroom.com Let's have the best year ever!  It's time for your voice to be heard and for you to make a BIG impact with your message.

Resistance and results, it’s much harder to get the results you want with resistance. Welcome to the show!  Today as we head into a new year, I want to talk about resistance and not just the obvious resistance.  I want to talk about the sneaky kind, the kind of resistance that feels like you are making the right choice, you are playing big.  You aren’t your subconscious has tricked you into believing you are great onstage even though you aren’t sounding great right now.  Your subconscious wants you to believe that everyone loves you and that you really have nothing else to learn. This is resistance, this blocks the kind of results you can have. Resistance has to go; it’s never going to serve you and will always keep you from making the impact you want.  Resistance is protection and when you go to that place where you feel you need to defend your position or get a nerve hit on the ego, then it’s time to shine a light on where you are holding back, where you are playing safe. I see the people who go all in on working on their voice get massive results, their entire inner game changes, their revenue and following, confidence and ability to captivate the room ALL go to the next level. But, the people who want to resist what I'm saying, push back, need to prove or be right, they get results but nothing like what the non-resistant people get. In 2023 you have no room to “think” we love you and that you are great at connection, no, it’s time to take your voice to the next level. If you want to be assessed on my new podcast, email [email protected]

This is a bit of a heavy episode I’ve been told by my team.  I think heavy is okay if it serves a purpose.  I recently got scammed, significantly and I am incredibly frustrated b/c in both instances, I could hear the foreshadowing of what was going to come in their voices.  I knew it but instead of trusting what I heard, I trusted the words that were spoken to me. I’m sharing my experience for a number of reasons but most of all to create an awareness of what you are doing with your voice and your words and what you want to put out in the world.  I want you to play the long game, not the short game and especially not the scam game. In today’s episode I’m reflecting on losing money and being scammed in two very different ways but in both cases, I saw it coming. What words are you choosing when you teach and sell?  Are you able to honor those words or are they just words? On another note, what do you hear when you hear voices?  Have you ever been scammed?  In retrospect did you see it coming?  While this episode may be heavy, I hope you find value in it.

Welcome to the Show! Turning on, performing…nope, this is never going to work and will suck the life out of you and your business.  Yet for years, this is how we taught.  Unfortunately, some people still teach that you have to perform in video or on stage or sales calls.  Some people just do it because it protects them.  After all, if I’m a character of myself, an on version and you don’t like me I’m still safe.  The subconscious also knows that you can’t connect with me when I’m on, performing, because there is a bullet proof barrier around me. People are seeking connection on a level we’ve never seen before.  People are seeking authenticity like never before too.  It’s critical that we stop performing or turning on and uncover the real version of our voice.  In order to show up authentically it’s critical to stop putting things on, adding on more layers that create a slick version of you. I want to know you, I want the experience of you.   Make sure you join me on December 8th for the Voice Experience free live training with hot seat coaching.  It’s a great experience.  You can sign up here:  https://www.captivatetheroom.com/vemasterclass  

Today I’m covering one of the many sounds that can cost you your ideal prospects, sales, and return customers. And that’s the lilt.   Lilt is one of the ways we affect our voices–it’s where your voice lifts up at the end, making everything sound like a question even when it’s not.    The problem with lilt is it can consciously and unconsciously be interpreted by your listener as asking for permission; that you aren’t the expert you say you are. It creates the feeling that you don’t know what you are talking about.    Having a lilt is not bad–it can be a powerful choice in certain situations. Part of what I do with my students is uncover what sounds truly belong to them and what don’t.    More often than not I find that the lilt is based out of a cultural habit or motivated from pleasing people. None of that is bad, it’s important to know whether your subconscious is tricking you into using the lilt to protect your heart and hamper your truest expression.

Welcome to the podcast! Today, I’ve got a question for you.  Voice is like…?  I recently heard my friend and former student Rita of Unbox Your Gift Podcast interview a politician.  In that episode Rita asked this woman a question about politics but the question was so profound and so relatable to voice that I had to do an episode on that very question. Voice is like an athlete, an actor or a musical instrument.  There is so much more to the question but that is the core of the question and today’s episode. I think you will love this episode and if you want to hear Rita’s episode with the politician, I’ve linked that episode below.

Welcome to the show! Some say we are in an economic downturn.  I say, you need your voice more than ever if that’s the case.  In a moment in time when it seems like working on one’s voice would be a luxury, it’s actually one of the most critical things you can work on. Why? All the insecurities your client or potential client faces, best not come out in your voice or it’s deal off.  The problem is, chances are excellent they will.  Sounds of hesitation are processed in the subconscious of the buyer as a big ole no.  So many sounds that come from your own insecurities, your subconscious, are coming out in your voice and they are costing you in tiny ways that add up to big financial loses. Now more than ever your ideal clients need reassurance, trust, safety, expertise and knowing you are the person that is not going to drop the ball of them. Voice is the stumbling block or the highway to your next level of success. What’s coming out in your voice? Have you been to my new free training where I teach you to attract, sell and retain your ideal clients?  Don’t miss it live each week.  Https://tracygoodwin.clickfunnels.com/masterclass Also, one last Voice Experience is happening on December 8th at 7pm CST This is an experience you don’t want to miss!

  Welcome to the show! I actually don’t want you to think of what I’m teaching today as bad advice, I want you to see that some advice is working against you. Today, I’m talking about the concept of just go live, just show up no matter how bad you are. First, there is no bad.  Second, you could immediately repel your ideal client and it might take them awhile to come find you again. I do believe that just showing up is not the answer.  Yes, I want you to show up and well before you are ready but it’s critical to take into consideration sounds that really could hurt the initial experience your ideal client has when they first hear your voice. You may be shocked by this concept but after you listen to the episode, I think it will all make sense.

Creating a massive referral business is something I hear many people say they wish they could do. The problem I find is they are focusing on the wrong things.  I have a massive referral business and I built it simply from the elevated experience I create for my buyer. When it comes to creating a referral business and a great experience, we have to look at authenticity to what degrees of it we use in relation to what we want our ideal client to experience. When we can line up the best version of the authenticity, we need to reveal it in order to create the best buyer experience where they know who we are and what this experience will be like from start to finish. Then we can effortlessly draw in clients that want to refer us and they then refer us to all their colleagues.  The bonus, they leave us raving reviews and become customers for life.  My students generally never leave.   Join my free training, Attract, sell and retain your ideal client (by creating an elevated experience)  https://tracygoodwin.clickfunnels.com/masterclass

Welcome to the show!  Today I want to talk about why we do what we do when it comes to how we use our voice and the communication choices we make. This is the final installment in the current lessons I’m learning from training my dog and this episode is the one I’ve been telling you about. When we make the choice to shame, try to prove, please, make it clear what we know, control we almost always make the wrong choice, and it ultimately costs us.  Why?  Because of the experience it creates for our buyer, team or relationships. It’s important to look at why we say what we say and why we choose to add tone when we do.  People often don’t realize that their own insecurities and masks and mental noise are coming out in such a way that is repelling current and potential customers or even employees. Today, I’ll be talking about making better choices when it comes to creating an elevated experience for the client and why looking at the benefit of our choice is so crucial.

The Right Fit Welcome to the show! The right fit is important for so many things including trainers, mentors, coaches…yet we still tend to live in a cookie cutter world. In today’s episode I’ll be using another story about my dog Birdie and the trainers I’ve hired for her to talk about how important it is to have a right fit.  The best coaches and trainers and even bosses out there lead with their strength, their methodology but they mold it in such a way that it’s a great fit for you.  It’s essential to your success that you don’t cram your style into something that isn’t ever going to bring you the success the very same system brought success to the creator. I’m going to be teaching to the elevated experience you want to create for your ideal client (or teams) in my upcoming training.  You’ve not heard me train to this topic before so make sure you don’t miss it.   Join my free training, Attract, sell and retain your ideal client (by creating an elevated experience)  https://tracygoodwin.clickfunnels.com/masterclass  

  Welcome to the show. Stop talking to everyone with the same note, it’s costing you.  I’ve learned so much from the training of my dog, Birdie.  One of the most recent lessons came from the trainers who have all been very different.  Each trainer has had a completely different feel, skill set and dog preference.  It’s been a little bit confusing just like what you might have experienced as you’ve learned different methodologies or worked with different leaders. But that is the point of this video, you will work with different types of people, leaders, clients. Stop treating them all the same; stop talking to them all the same. A Rottweiler takes an entirely different tone of voice than an English Cocker Spaniel.  Your voice stories and masks are playing a huge part in the sound you reveal.  If you use your English Cocker voice on a Rottweiler, you are going to have some problems.  Think direct vs. indirect. The goal… play all the shades of you so that you can know your audience and effectively communicate with them so that they will hear you and give you what you want faster. If you've not discovered your voice mask, make sure you check out the voice mask quiz to discover what sounds and stories you might be hiding behind. https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/621a5513edca630018200027  

Welcome to the show! Meet Birdie, She’s my greatest teacher now and it’s been truly fascinating to see how closely training a dog resembles voice and communication. In today’s podcast I’m starting a brief series about Birdie and all that I’ve learned.  From leashes to trainers to the exact breed of a dog, there is so much voice and communication tied in. The first lesson, that I’ll discuss today is about leadership and using your voice when you feel a desperate need to keep people happy. It may or may not have entered your mind that those people or person, boss, colleague or client you are trying to keep happy could very well be desperate for you to lead them. In today’s podcast, I’ll touch on how. If you've not discovered your voice mask, make sure you check out the voice mask quiz to discover what sounds and stories you might be hiding behind. https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/621a5513edca630018200027

  Turning on... It won’t work and you’ve possibly bought into the lie. When you go on stage, when you present, when you speak, turn it on. I’ve heard it so many times,  "Oh, when I stand on stage, I turn it on".  I hate to tell you but maybe you don’t and if you do... here is the problem. We can’t connect with you when you are in a slick voice. We can’t connect with you when you are 'on'. And the worst part, when you are in that mode, you really aren’t maximizing the full experience of you. Everything has the same vocal value… everything. If everything has the same value, how do I know what matters? If everything has the same vocal value, why should I listen?  My subconscious says, "Oh, I already know what they are doing or who they are, so we can check out". You are missing opportunities. I just worked with someone and she said "Okay, but I’m really good on stage". I’ve seen her on stage… she's missing opportunities all over the place, no experience, one note… You can do that and you can even be confident and successful (for now) if you turn it on but you aren’t maximizing, you are leaving people behind… Is it time to level up?  If it is, then you need to stop believing and take action in turning on.

You aren’t a people pleaser?  You'll still learn a ton in this week’s episode including what sounds are working against you when it comes to connecting with your buyer, how they are processing you, and the experience you will create for them... plus so much more. If you are a people pleaser, listen up…  there are sounds that are coming out of your voice that are costing you revenue. A number of specific sounds I hear in people pleaser’s voice actually tell the buyer not to buy. If you are the expert, why are you asking my permission?  You aren’t… well, there is a sound in your voice that lilt’s up at the end of your sentences and that makes me think you are asking me. Bothering people?  Is that a concern of yours?  Well, it’s in your voice. What people don’t realize is that selling is not just about the words, the offer, it’s about the connection, the feeling, the experience and ALL of that happens in the voice. In this week’s episode of the Captivate the Room podcast, I’ll be breaking down how the people pleasing mask hurts your sales.

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.   Do you try to control the outcome?   It's creating some significant problems in your voice that you probably are not aware of.   The world taught you to believe that you can control the outcome... that is an illusion.   Here's the thing, you can't. And by trying to control the outcome, you are missing the REAL place of power... using your voice to control the conversation in such a way that you make me FEEL.   If you can make me feel like I want to work with you, be around you, be a part of your experience then I will give you the outcome you want.   It's effortless and missed by just about everyone I know.   If you are ready to step into your true power source and maximize the power of your voice by the way you make us feel, then don't miss this episode.   Want to join me for the Selling Through Voice Show?  Sign up at www.sellingthroughvoiceshow.com

    This is the first mask I created, but now there are many more. If you want to find out what your voice mask is, make sure you go to the link in my bio and take the quiz. This mask is one that you pick up and put in place out of insecurity, imposter syndrome, lack of self confidence and worth.  You think it will protect you, you think it will keep you from being found out, you think it will keep you safe. It might but it won't, what it will do is cost you. We can't connect with you when you pick up any of the masks and you probably don't even recognize you do it.  It's subconscious, it's in the muscle memory, it was created from your voice stories. It's got to go if you want to get to the next level of success in your business and life.

Ownership 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. Ownership is a concept that allows you space to experience conflict with ease, to speak from your heart, to create the opportunity for the listener to express themselves fully. Ownership is devoid of expectations and assumptions. Radical responsibility and the communication technique of ownership has the power to change your relationships, change you as a leader, get you more of what you want. I'll be doing a series around effective communication and relationships.  This is the first installment and I know you will benefit from it!

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. Most people feel they need to convince or say a lot of words but that shuts the door on inviting people in through your voice. Trying to get it right, having a grip on your voice…no invitation. Think about when you use your voice in a way that is inviting…? Your people closest to you.  You create an invitation because you feel comfortable, less or not judged but yet when you go to the office or online in a video or podcast or even in an interview, no invitation. Judgement or the potential of it so you have to pull back…or so you think. But it’s costing you. The expert invites us in.  The expert knows they know. The expert knows they don’t have to know it all. When you can use your voice as an invitation, the entire world changes…so does your following, retention, revenue! Don’t miss this episode!

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.   Far too often we don't speak with authority and for many people, it's circumstantial.  If I feel comfortable, if I've practiced, if I know what I'm going to say then I can speak with authority but what about the other times?   I might even challenge whether you truly speak with as much authority as you could.   Today in this episode I'm going to be touching on a very important topic, authority that is in a rubber band ball with commanding a presence, speaking with confidence, feeling confident...   My friend Steve and I will be teaching to commanding the speaking and sounding like the authority in our upcoming Masterclass this coming Wednesday June 22nd at 1:00pm EDT   You don't want to miss this training!  What Steve and I will be teaching is applicable to professionals, executives, small business owners, entrepreneurs.   Go to https://www.captivatetheroom.com/celebrity to register

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… I have to tell you, the number of times I’ve heard from someone that they aren’t going to be an actor or a speaker is so frustrating. Maybe not if you don’t want to be an actor or if you don’t want to learn slick speaker voice but this is much bigger than slick speaker voice. Do you want to command the space?  Have a presence? If you are doing a video as an entrepreneur, a zoom call with a client as a professional, standing on a stage …you want to command the space and have presence. So do actors. But they also want to make an emotional connection with their listeners.   Actors want all eyes on them as they captivate their audience. They want to use their eyes in such a way that you lean in and connect. So do business people and entrepreneurs. And everyone wants to create special moments, magical moments that you can share with the audience. Become the A-List Celebrity Masterclass If anything in this podcast speaks to you or maybe you just know that you need to have more presence and could benefit from learning from Steve and I then I’d love for you to join us for our Masterclass on June 22nd at 1:00pm EDT You can find out more information at https://www.captivatetheroom.com/celebrity In this training Steve and I will be teaching true confidence, presence, eyes and how critical they are to your success, a movement that draws people close including relaxing your face. We’ll be teaching you how to make those magical moments that are so special and memorable to your audience…those moments that make people say YES, I want to work with you. We’ll be covering all of that and more in this live online training. We also have several VIP spots available where you can have footage reviewed by Steve and I and be coached right on the live Masterclass. If you find that you tense up, over think, have to practice, move around a lot on camera then this is for you. If you just want to have more impact and command the space in such a way that people listen to your ideas, follow you and stay with you until the end of your message, then this is for you. You might not realize just how much further Steve can take you in your business until you’ve spent a little bit of time with him. I hope you’ll join us!

Welcome to the show! Literally, welcome to the show today because that is what I'm talking about, creating a show in your voice.  What is a voice show?  Well, it's not performance, it's not polish, it's the best version of you showing up vocally and playing full out with your full voice orchestra.   Far too often people play in a really small voice box, no pun intended.  People are in fear about playing all the different sounds, all the different instruments of their voices and that is part of why they aren't captivating their listener. In order to captivate your listener, you want to create an experience for them.  To create an experience you have to use your voice full out, you have to create a show. Show, isn't what you think it is, take a listen to today's episode to find out what the show is in your voice and how to make it happen!   Have you taken the voice mask quiz?  You can do so here: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/621a5513edca630018200027

Voice masks, that's what I'm talking about today on the podcast.  What are voice masks?  Tiny sounds that you are putting in your voice without even knowing it.  These sounds are meant to protect you, but they cost you. Voice masks are sounds that come from identities that come from voice stories and they do not represent the best version of you.  In fact, when you pick up a voice mask (without even realizing it) you create an instant block to our connection with you. Voice masks are costing you next level retention, following AND revenue. In today's podcast I'm covering the origin of these masks,  the different masks and how they overlap, how these masks are costing you and what you need to do to start getting in front of the masks so you can take your business and your relationships to the next level.   Want to take the voice masks quiz? https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/621a5513edca630018200027   Are you signed up for the Voice Experience yet?  Don't miss it.  May 12th 7pm EST Sign up here for the Voice Experience

Welcome to the show! Today I'm talking about holes in your voice.  What are holes in your voice?  They are literally that, a hole that I can poke through.  We hear holes subconsciously and they represent ways we can get what we want. Holes are not a good thing and if you have them in your voice, chances are good you are not commanding the space and standing in confidence all the time no matter what the circumstances are.

Welcome to the show! The voice grip.  Do you have one?  Today on the podcast I'm talking about what I call the voice grip. If you do, it's costing you potential business.  We can hear it and we are making decisions in our subconscious about that grip that are not working in your favor. It's like a tightness in your voice, it's a grip.  We can hear it.  You can feel it. Like a kinked off garden hose, the water just won't flow. If you are a perfectionist, trying to get the words right, controlling...chances are good there is a grip in your voice. Why is this a problem? Because a grip tells us subconsciously that we can't get in. We want in, we want to connect but a voice grip, we just bounce right off of you. Do you have a voice grip?   Listen to this weeks episode to find out!  And if you do, we need to unkink your garden hose!

Welcome to the show! Today, I'm going to talk about a grounded voice.  There is a distinctly different sound between a grounded voice and a not grounded voice. When you are in your head, your voice is not grounded in your body. It sounds like a crazy concept, to get grounded in your body but most people are not and it negatively affects their voice.

I always say to people I work with that I wish they could get into my head and hear voices the way I do.  It's layers of sounds that need to unravel.  I plug in a technique that I believe will get me the sound I hear at your heart, your real voice.  I plug in the technique, if the sounds matches, I lock it in.

Your subconscious has been protecting that sound and over time layers and layers of blocks and barriers and masks and sounds that don't represent you or your real voice are put in place. These barriers keep us out and you safe. You are safe.   We can now unlayer all the blocks and reveal the real you! I don't want you to miss this episode.

Welcome to the show! Today I'm talking with a former student of mine about a unique methodology called Cognomovement. Cognomovement is a miraculous concept that alleviates pain, aids in weight loss, fear of public speaking and so much more.  In today's episode, you are going to hear all about it and how it can help you! I won't do it justice to explain but I hope you'll tune it and hear Katie speak about it. In today's episode, Katie and I discuss the path to destruction that she found herself on with loads of injuries and unhappiness, How Cognomovement changed her life, What is Cognomovement and how it works and so much more!   Don't forget to sign up for my upcoming free live training, the Voice Experience happening in February.  www.captivatetheroom.com/experience   And...if you want to find out what is in your voice that is hurting your sales, register for my Call to Action workshop this Thursday.  www.captivatetheroom.com/cta   Guest Bio Katie spent the bulk of her adult life suffering. Her answer to that was to run from herself by plunging deeply into denial and numbing herself however she could. Her numbing tools included a super demanding career in which she could drown, drugs, food, men who didn’t value her and high-risk activities. She suffered from chronic pain for 8 years. Suffering was her norm until she was rendered disabled by all of the denial and numbing by the time she was in her early 40s. Enough was enough, and Katie wanted her life back. She tried many healing modalities with varying levels of success, but nothing touched the unrelenting nerve pain and damage going down her legs from damage in her lumbar spine, and notably weakening them despite a lot of walking and hiking. She was then introduced to Cognomovement while she awaited a consult with a neurosurgeon, and it transformed her life. Not only was Cognomovement the key she needed to harness the power of her mind to shift her perception of pain, it was also the tool that was missing from her pain management coaching practice. Cognomovement gets in the middle of the pain loop between our brain and physical body, to allow a shift in perception of how we are experiencing the pain. Katie didn’t only get her life back, she created a better life than she thought was possible. She now teaches others how they can achieve this outcome for themselves.

Welcome to the show. You may not realize just how much your voice is hurting your selling or asks. One of the ways I can get the worst out of a voice is to ask someone to sell me something.  There is a lot around worth and selling, voice stories play into sounds that appear when it comes to selling.  For most people, the most limiting voice sounds come out when selling but for some people, it can be simple with any ask. Microscopic sounds are telling me not to buy and they are coming from a variety of places.  When I work with people on selling, there are some very specific techniques that we need to plugin.  We need to get you vocally aligned with what I need to hear in order to be influenced, compelled to take the action you want me to take. In today's episode, I'm going to talk about some of the most costly voice habits that negatively affect people when it comes to their voice and selling.  Ultimately, I want you to be able to impact the people you are here to impact and make the revenue you desire to make. That can happen with a few voice shifts. Listen in to hear more about where you are working from when it comes to selling, foreshadowing,  voice elements of persuasion and more around your voice and selling.

Today I want to talk about a few techniques that will help you when you need to be around people that punch buttons with you.

Welcome to the show! You might not have ever thought about this, stuck sound.  Many people realize their sound is stuck in the back of their throat but most people have no idea that their sound is stuck, much less in how many places.  The flow of sound is the issue, not volume.  The subconscious sticks your sound hoping it won't flow out to my heart, there is potential judgment if it does. In fact, did you realize that your excessive hand gestures could be your sound trying to flow out of your body instead of out of your mouth?  It's a protection device put in place by the subconscious to protect your sound from flowing to my heart. In today's episode, I'm talking all about stuck sound.  

Welcome to the show! Today I've got a BIG topic!  Playing big with your voice.  Far too many people play small vocally and a big percentage of those people know they are doing it. It's time to play bigger vocally, it's time to reveal the real, best version of you.  I won't notice the small voice, I won't be able to tell who you are and whether or not you get me if you are the person I want to work with if you play small vocally. Heading into 2022...it's time friends, it's time to play big with your voice. If you want to get started with some technique that will ensure you play big vocally, head over to www.captivatetheroom.com/voice-starter-kit, and let's get you started making a bigger impact vocally!

Welcome to the show! You may not realize that there are sounds in your voice that are repelling people, like ideal clients.  Repelling is a strong word but everyone has an aversion to different sounds. We can look at the five elements of vocal variety and find aversions, we can also look at certain voice masks and find aversions along with the tone of voice and so much internal noise that is coming out in the voice without you even realizing it. Today, we are talking about what is stopping your next level and it's all in tiny sounds you may not even know exist! Voice, it's an inside and an outside job but it's time to get back to who you really are so you can show up as the best version of yourself.  

Welcome to the show! Today I'm talking about voice stories and the noise that creates the foundation for Psychology of the Voice. Stories come from experiences, things people say, environment, culture.  Oftentimes these stories in our mind, these voice stories are created from negative experiences.  The subconscious mind puts the voice in place.   The voice is the orchestra of the heart and the subconscious wants to protect the heart.  The negative experience comes in, the sub-c goes to work, limiting the voice. The stories play out over and over and keep the habit locked in place. The result, not the real version of you, the smaller, safe version of you.   Make sure you follow on Instagram, Captivate the Room and enter the contest giveaway!

Welcome to the show! One of the things that we are seeing in the data is the Millenials are refusing, polished, perfect, on, radio guy voice.  They want to know who you are. We are also seeing data where people are more desperate to connect with real people, who let them in vocally and reveal their most authentic self vocally. No surprise to me as someone who has tracked data around voice and done numerous research programs of my own for years. What worked for my generation, slick, on, performance voice that is often taught and created through voice technique, won't work anymore.  When you are slick and polished we are enamored and captivated for a time...but then, when we cannot connect we move on. Is your audience moving on? If your business is not where you think it should be, then you may be hiding behind the performance, playing safe. Let's change that so you have the best 2022 ever!

Welcome to the show! Today, I'm talking about your REAL voice.  Many people don't speak in their real voice, even big names and big slick speakers on the stage. Your real voice shows me who you are, how you feel...it is a dynamic, interesting, fun, serious revelation of the real you, and now more than ever, it's critical that we know YOU. I'm watching people desperately search for real people, real people are found behind real voices. It's not about getting the words right or doing it perfectly.  It's about being real, relatable, just like us.

You can get what you want without putting up a need-to-convince mask. I think you will love this episode!

Welcome to the show. You don't have to create a perfect voice, you just have to get back to the perfect voice you were born with before the world took it away. I don't believe you have to create a voice that sounds great, you have one.  What you have to do is take away all the layers and masks and barriers that you've put in place with the help of your subconscious trying to keep you safe and all the critics and events in your life. It's important to take the layers away.  It's the only way you will find that most perfect and gorgeous voice that represents you to the fullets.  Your real voice that is buried under all the masks and layers IS the true definition of authenticity.

Welcome to the show. What in the world am I talking about today?  Something that you might vehemently reject!  You can't read the room.  You can't.  You can't let the audience and what you think they are thinking to determine how you are going to show up with your voice. It's crucial that we find the best version of you. But this is what we do.  We change and adjust and become what we think they want us to be based on what we see.  But what happens when we can't see?  It's a problem. It's a problem either way. It's time to start showing up with the best version of you, every single time regardless of what you think you are seeing, what you think we are thinking.

Welcome to the show! In pillar one of Psychology of the Voice, I unearth the stories that are holding you back, eradicate the drivers that are calling the shots on how you use your voice. When the stories are unearthed and we work from the place of not trying to find the right words or any other noise in our heads around using our voice, we find a new level of confidence.   Inner freedom, knowing you have the words, the right words, and that they will be there for you. Many people think they are confident and it's possible they show up pretty confidently but there is another level and its confidence from the inside, inner freedom. Inner freedom is why I do this work. Let's take you to the next level in how you show up and use your voice.   If you want to join my upcoming Masterclass training, you can sign up at www.captivatetheroom.com/masterclass

Welcome to the show. One of the things I've been told a lot in this work is that I really take things away from people that they no longer need in their voice. I agree.  I call it taking you back to one, back to the place before you put up all the masks and your subconscious adjusted your voice...to keep you safe. Psychology of the Voice is about identity, it's about transformation, it's about getting back to the real, most true version of your voice. It's freedom and confidence and the ability to show up in a big bold way vocally when you get back to one. Today, I'm talking about getting back to one.   Ready to sign up for the upcoming Masterclass training?  Go to www.captivatetheroom.com/masterclass to sign up and let's Unleash the power of your greatest asset!

Welcome to the show! Today, we are talking about your greatest asset.  Yes, you have a lot of great assets but the one in which we determine everything about you, the one in which you have the power to make me feel, compel me to take action, influence, and persuade… is what we are talking about.  Your greatest asset is your voice and in today’s episode, I’m going to teach you why and discuss how to maximize it. Until you start playing bigger vocally, you might not reach the inner freedom, confidence, and ability to captivate your listener as you long desire to do.

Welcome to the show! If you aren't commanding the presence you want, captivating your listener, or stopping the scroll, it's possible your past is the problem. It might not make any sense that your past has anything to do with your present voice but it does, it has everything to do with it. If you are dragging your past into the now, there are sounds in your voice that I promise, are costing you. Today, I'm looking at the ways you bring in your past and sabotage your future by doing so.    

Welcome to the podcast! If you are not ending your sentences with a full stop, owning what you are saying, and commanding the space then this episode is for you.  Emphatic endings are something I hear a lot of people struggle with.  Full stop at your endings, fully owning what you say.  Many people tend to ask our permission or check-in to see how they are doing as they speak their sentences which waters down their message and makes them sound non-committal.  If you are not bought into what you are saying, how do you expect us to buy in? Today, I’m talking about why emphatic endings are so important and how to make sure you command the space by committing to what you say by how you say it.

Welcome to the show! If you are curious about how to intuitively navigate your life and business then you don’t want to miss what my very special guest Carrie Hamm has to say. Carrie is a student of mine and today she and I are talking about all the ways we use our voice to fit in, How we push in business when that’s not the best choice, Why we go against what we know to be true, And so much more!   If you are interested in singing up your teen daughter for my upcoming Stand up and Be Heard small group coaching program, go to www.captivatetheroom.com/stand-up-and-be-heard   Guest Bio Carrie Hamm Carrie Hamm is a business strategist and intuitive coach who helps visionaries, entrepreneurs, changemakers and creatives – break through barriers to land their next big leap.  She combines her intuitive gifts with 20 years’ experience in business technology, and 20 years of intensive spiritual practice to help people activate the energy and mindset needed to hold massive expansion.  She specializes in demystifying mysticism to find the practical in the magical.   Find Carrie at:   https://www.carriehamm.com/  https://www.carriehamm.com/podguest    Instagram: @thealchemychannel Facebook: @carrielahamm Clubhouse: @carriehamm    

Welcome to the show! Are you holding back when it comes to using your voice?  You might not think so b/c you are showing up, being visible.  For some of you, you know you are holding back when it comes to your full expression. When it comes to captivating the room with your voice, there is always another level, another layer.   In pillar three of Psychology of the Voice, I reveal some of the best bits to level up your business and relationships and they all have to do with revealing the best version of you, the bits of you, the feeling, the degrees and shades of who you really are. I'm revealing that information in today's episode! If you want more information on the Teen Stand Up and Use Your Voice program, email [email protected]  

Words, and more words…do you feel like you have to say all the words in order to get what you want?  If you do or if you find that you are giving all the value to the words and expecting them to do the work for you, then you don’t want to miss today’s episode. So many people use words as a mask to try to get it right, control the outcome or what we are thinking (both are an illusion), or even prove they know what they are talking about. You are far better off with one line that makes it crystal clear who you are and how you feel and how you want me to feel.  Not any of that happens in the words, it happens in your voice. Don’t miss today’s episode!

Welcome to the Show! I'm excited to talk to you today about something I've not talked about before.  Meaning...what is the meaning you are giving things? This is a Psychology of the Voice principle that limits the impact you make with your voice in big ways. We give meaning to things and when we do, then we play small b/c of the meaning we have given to whatever it is... What people think, Not getting it right, Asking for an invitation, Bothering people... On and on the list goes.  All have meaning that we have given and all of these drivers can cause us to play small! I think you will love this episode!

Welcome to the show! Far too many people think they are showing up as the best version of themselves but they are not. What is authentic anyway? Well, it's showing me who you are, all the bits of you I call it and it's in your voice. Do you struggle to show up as your real self, all the time? In today's episode, I'm going to talk about the ways you still limit showing up even if you think you are showing up as the real you. This is a powerful episode because the technique that really changes my client's lives is when they are able to roll in the real bits of who they are.  It's at that point that their audience knows who they really are and the benefits are glorious both internally and externally!

Welcome to the show! I'm going to do something I don't normally do today, talk about words. Specifically, Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death. What people don't realize is that their words really do hold a lot of power. I've actually been studying this lately and I've watched what happens to people who constantly spew hate...the data is not good. It's essential that we call in good.  It's critical that we really follow the golden rule of treat others as we want to be treated but I say speak to others in a way you want to be spoken to. We have to stop this hate talk, this bashing others, judging others with our words and tone. There is more at stake than you realize. Make sure you get my 3-video series the Voice Formula.  You can go to www.captivatetheroom.com and sign up for free.  

Welcome to the podcast! Today, I’m talking about the uptick.  Many of you know people who turn every sentence into a question.  You are probably thinking…yeah and it’s annoying.  However, what people who do the uptick don’t realize is the problematic Psychology of the Voice behind it. When someone upticks, it causes the listener’s subconscious to question whether that person knows what they are talking about or not.  People who have an uptick often don’t realize just what it’s costing them and the answer is a lot. Upticks can come from literal stories or drivers of questioning whether you know what you are talking about or not.  Upticks can come from insecurities or questioning anything, even imposter syndrome can cause an uptick.  Mimicking a pattern of someone you admire is also something that can cause this. It doesn’t matter where it came from, it’s got to go if you want to be taken seriously as the expert you are. Don’t lose valuable time or prospects by sending the wrong message, get rid of your uptick today!

Welcome to the show! One of the things I hear almost daily is, “Tracy, I’ve got to be professional, I can’t do that…it won’t sound professional.” What people don’t realize is that they are in an either/or situation.  I am or I’m not. They also don’t realize that they WILL NOT be unprofessional if they reveal the best version of themselves. We want to know who you are…period.  Until we do, you will struggle. What people fear is going to happen if they reveal themselves is NOT going to happen. In fact, I believe being professional is actually hiding insecurity. One of the things I really do when I work with people is to get them to reveal the BEST version of themselves and every time, not only are they professional, they also stop the tune out and level up their business and life in big ways.

Welcome to the show! I’ve got a great episode for you today, especially if you are the kind of person that really likes personal development and always challenging yourself from within. Michael Bulloch is with me on the show today.  I met Michael when I was a guest on his Man of Master podcast, and we were so aligned with the way we think and work that I knew I needed to bring him on the show. Today, Michael and I talk about a lot including: How he came to do the work he does after realizing there was more for him, What success means, Seeking balance and why that’s important, Finding your purpose and so much more! I know you are going to get so much value from this episode so thanks for listening! If you haven’t signed up for the Masterclass, it’s not too late, we are on day two.  Just go to www.captivatetheroom.com/3free to sign up.   Guest Bio MY STORY Michael Bulloch is a father, husband, author, and corporate consultant, specializing in business strategy, process, and technology for start-ups and growth-stage businesses as well as large enterprise transformation projects. By all standards, he’s been highly successful, with degrees from a top university followed by an MBA. He’s worked at major global firms and has been a leading part of several successful startups. At 30, I sustained a crippling back injury, requiring surgery with no certainty of a cure. Along with the physical side, everything else slid from there – flexibility, mobility, focus on nutrition, and motivation. I went from a very active lifestyle and intense sports to learning pain management, where the effort to lean over a sink and shave or stand in a shower was so excruciating and nauseating that I’d have to lie down (i.e., collapse in a cold sweat) to rest in between. Over time, by research and personal trial-and-error, I made adjustments to nutrition and supplementation, discovered chiropractic, and ventured into yoga. Eventually, I clawed my way back to a normal level of life, work, fitness, and activity. As recently as 3-4 years ago, launching another startup, I felt like everything was once again buzzing along. But something wasn’t quite right or was still feeling out of balance. Outwardly, perhaps the success was there, but at best it was highly imbalanced and, in reality, needed a wholesale change in approach. I would propose that being successful is external – someone else’s measure whereas feeling successful comes from within and involves finding happiness doing things of meaning and real impact.

Welcome to the show! It’s time to shine!  You shine with your voice.  Why?  Because it’s your voice that has the power to make me feel how you want me to feel about you and your business. What do you want us to feel?  Are you using your voice to make us feel that way? So many people want to be heard or seen, they want people to watch their videos, like, comment, buy…but they aren’t using their voices in a way to make that happen. It’s your voice and your ability to captivate me to with it that is the key to the next level in your business.  Don’t keep thinking the new microphone is going to make this better.  It’s only when you rewrite the noise in your head around your voice and change the bad voice habits that noise left behind that you will be able to get to the next level, to stop the scroll, to stand in authority, and command a presence. Voice has always been critical, it’s non-negotiable moving into 2021. What are you going to do with your voice? I hope you will join me for my upcoming 3-day live Masterclass training series to unleash your voice.  We start on January 28th, I hope you will join us!  www.captivatetheroom.com/3free to sign up!

Welcome to the show! Today I'm talking about the best reveal of you. A lot of people believe they are revealing who they really are and to a degree they are. Others know they aren't revealing their true self.  People are being on, they are hiding behind a lot of words or speaking fast or even worse, a mask of protection. The masks are what people really don't realize and these tiny sounds are sabotaging the next level of success. I want you to get rid of the sounds that are getting in your way because until you get rid of these sounds you really can't unleash the best version of you and without the best version of you...well, you are missing out on that next level of success. Are you ready to take your business to the next level?  It's not the mic that will make your voice, it's removing the masks and drivers and bad voice habits that are costing you everything. I hope you will join me for my upcoming training Unleash your voice.  It's a 3-day masterclass training with loads of great training and hot seat coaching.   I promise you this is training you've never seen and honestly, didn't even know you needed.

Welcome to 2021 and the show! Can you believe it?  We made it!  In today’s episode, I’m talking about the connection which is key for 2021.  People are desperate for connection and I’m sure you can see why. The voice is the place of connection and in the episode today I’m talking about how and why the voice plays such an integral part. Barriers, blocks, masks, things you hide behind in tiny sounds are how you block us, keep us out and it’s in subtle ways that you probably don’t even realize are happening. I hope you will step out from behind the voice masks that you have been carrying for so long.  In 2021 I want you to stop working so hard to hold up the masks that are weighing you down. If you want to join me for my upcoming live training starting January 28th, I’d love for you to join me.  Just go to www.captivatetheroom.com/3free and sign up. Best wishes for the best 2021!

Welcome to the show! Today I’m doing a bit of a wrap up of the year and a little bit of looking ahead for the new year. What were your greatest challenges this year?  What was good?  I believe there is always something of benefit in every experience no matter how challenging it is. I watched hundreds of people shatter their greatest fears around using their voice this year and it was truly magical. So many people have had to step up this year and get visible in ways they have been avoiding for years. Did you accomplish the voice goals you had? In this episode, I’ll not only talk about what my students accomplished this year but exactly what you need to think about in relation to your voice and how to use it in the coming year.

Welcome to the show! I've got a great episode for you today, one where I will be going against the grain of what others tell you to do and what you might think you have to do to get the voice impact you want. Today I'm talking about practice and how you probably need to reframe how much practice you need. One of the forms of resistance I see in people is this belief that they have to practice a lot or that practicing a lot is going to fix their issues. It's not...it's resistance. Yes, you need to practice but there is no point in practice if you aren't practicing the right thing. Worse, is if you over practice because over practicing brings in an entirely different level of problems and you may not realize it. In this episode, I talk about finding your version of practice and what that actually looks like, I discuss the pitfalls of over practice and why the belief of just needing to practice is costing you.

Welcome to the show! Are you ready?  Is your voice ready to answer the question, the call?  Is your voice ready if you get blindsided and have no prep time to answer? Two of the biggest contracts of my life happened when I did not even see them coming. I turned the corner, was asked a question and BOOM!  I was hired. Why? I was able to deliver at that moment without preparation. I was able to sound confident like the expert I am. I was able to create an instant emotional connection. I was able to make my listener feel something, compel them to take the action I wanted them to take. Are you ready to do that without any preparation?  Without any practice? Most people are not. In fact, most people are getting ready to get ready... That won't cut it.  That won't ever cut it. What's interesting is that the people that I continue to see getting ready to be ready...I don't know if they'll ever be ready? Why? They keep buying into their own tricks of their sub-conscious, the lies of their mind. I want you to be ready so that's what I'm talking about today. If you want to get ready in my Black Friday offer, then make sure you email me, [email protected] for your special link to my offer. www.captivatetheroom.com/Friday  Let's get you ready for 2021 starting NOW!

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! Guest Bio JOEY VITALE FOUNDER & MANAGING ATTORNEY Licensed to practice law in Illinois, Joey Vitale counsels creatives across the United States (and globally) on legal issues specific to creatives.

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.   Guest Bio 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. You can find Sherry over on Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sherryquamtaylor/ 

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 just gave you. “Well, how do I create vocal variety with a script?” Needing to prove is the showboater, the loud one, the bragger. I think it's a braggart. Defense is saying “I don't know, but as soon as you teach me, I'm going to lead you to believe that I do and that I'm borderline offended that you assumed I didn't know” when I never assumed that at all. It's a huge repellent and here's the thing, this comes from an inferiority thing and the insecurity that comes from a driver that says you're supposed to know everything Even more so, this is a story that's linked to the mask of defense. If you don't know everything, people are going to think you're inferior. That is that thing of “ I'm trying to control what you think of me”, or “I've already decided what you think of me and I've already decided that if you answer me and I didn't know the answer to that, that you think I'm stupid and I'm going to retaliate with a defense of I already know.” And there's going to be a little attitude in there, like a persona or a perception of “you've just insulted me.” And it's all a defense because they didn't know to begin with, but there's no humility. The mask of defense, not only is it coming from a place of insecurity, but it's coming from a place of no humility and an inability to take responsibility for one's feelings. The blame falls into this one. I used to struggle with this all the time when I was in my early twenties. I was raised as a victim. Nothing was my fault. I have regrets over things that I said. This why the restraint of pen and tongue is so important. I have regrets over things that I said when I was in my early twenties, being defensive from being a victim from an inability to take responsibility for my actions and not wanting to look bad and not wanting to look like I didn't know what I was talking about. It's about defense. It’s about controlling the outcome and looking good or creating a perception of looking good and having no humility to admit when we're wrong or we didn't know because we've created a driver and a belief that if we don't know, then we're inferior. The mask of defense is very much about inferiority versus superiority. And that idea that if you know something that I feel like I should know, then you must think you're superior is coming from an internal driver that says they are superior and that's just not true. But it's a huge mask. It's a huge mask of an inability to take responsibility. And let me tell you, it's a turnoff big time, but the biggest problem, as I've already mentioned is that everybody sees it. Everybody sees it. I remember doing a group this summer and I had someone in that group with a mask of defense. And it was a really big group. It wasn't one of my typical groups. It was something different. And there was somebody in there with a mask of defense and a mask of needing to prove, but a mask of defense. They would ask a question and every time I answered, they would say they already knew, almost as if they were insulted and very much wanted to make it clear that they felt like I didn't know what I was talking about. In this particular scenario, I didn't address it because that’s not what the program was about. It was something different. And a couple of sessions went by and then I had a conversation with someone that was in that group and they said, “Oh my gosh, I just can't even believe how that person spoke to you. It was so disrespectful.” And I said, “well, it was just defense.” It was just defense because this person believed that he had to be right which was his need to prove and he also believed that if he asked a question and I knew the answer that surely I must be thinking “what an idiot” and that's where defense comes in. This belief, this driver that we're supposed to know and that the other person thinks we're inferior if we don't, Passive aggressiveness can be very close to defense. It's getting the last word. It's very much getting the last word. “That's not what I meant. Well, I already knew that. I know that. I'm already doing that”. Then why did you ask? I don't know if this is you or if this reminds you of somebody you know. I'm telling you how great I am. So, needing to prove isn't always negative. It's not always a negative tone. It can be perceived as a helpful tone or a confident tone. Defense is the idea that “you have just offended me. How dare you answer that question and talk to me as if I don't know what I'm talking about?” when they ask the question. Defense is a refusal to take responsibility. Defense is ego and lack of humility. If you get defensive or if you feel like you're being attacked, sometimes you are be being attacked. I'm saying look within and see if you're being attacked. Are you putting up a defense to try to control the outcome to try to control our perception? And you're putting it in your tone because if you are a promise you, you are not winning friends and influence in people of all the masks. Defense is one of the biggest turnoffs. And in this recent group, I could tell that everybody in the room saw and heard exactly what was happening. So, if this is you, I want you to look within and I want you to see what it is you believe about not knowing the answer or somebody else knowing an answer to something. How is that a negative reflection of you? Because that's going to lead you to your driver. What did you have to defend growing up? What did you have to defend with a boss? What did you have to defend that somehow got linked to the idea that you don't know anything or you don't know what you're talking about? It created a mask of protection that makes you feel better because that mask of defense makes you feel you know what you're talking about, even though you feel insecure. It's not real. What solves this problem is to get okay with humility and realizing that not knowing everything is not a reflection of anything negative. I don't know a whole lot of anything other than voice. That does not diminish my worth. I have to be willing to learn. I have to be willing to receive criticism. I have to be willing to receive feedback and I am. The person with the defense mask cannot. And if that is you, you need to look at why. Why are you taking that as a personal attack and how in the world do you ever think having a defensive tone is ever going to get you what you want? It's not. It is a 100% repellent and we hear it from the first word you speak defensively. If this is your mask, you'll never have inner freedom and you might not ever get to the level of success you want. You won't have the connections; you won't have the relationships and it's all because of a voice mask. So, if this is you, I highly encourage you to look within and look at the stories that you've written around people knowing more, or your interpretation of you knowing less. That's where you want to start because that's where the problem is and that's what put the habit in place. But I'm going to tell you, that is a raw emotion that the listener subconscious is going to reject vehemently. It's no reflection on you that you don't know everything. It's okay if other people know more or know something that you don't know. It doesn't mean you’re not good at something. People with a defensive mask are probably all or nothing thinkers or black and white thinkers as well. And my question is why does it have to be all or nothing? Why does it have to be one or the other? It doesn't.

Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Tracy Goodwin. And I'm so glad to have you with me today as always. Thank you so much for your shares and your downloads and for being a subscriber. I love being on this voice journey with you, and I've got a great episode for you today. Today, we're going to talk about controlling the outcome and your voice. As I do every year, I took August off and I normally take August off because I have for the last 12 years been involved in a program for youth. I'm not doing that program anymore, but this August I moved across the country in a pandemic.  I’m glad to back!  I've got some super exciting episodes for you coming up and some incredible interviews with amazing people that you are going to love hearing from. Now very quickly, I want to let you know, I have two more groups this year. I'm about to do my second to last small group coaching program and then I'll run it one more time in October. So do not miss out. If you want to jump on now at the current price, make sure you go over to captivatetheroom.com. Look under the work with me tab and/or email me Tracy, [email protected]. I've got a lot of great things going on, a lot of cool changes and happenings, and I'm excited to share it with you. It's been a challenging year. I know for so many of you and I believe that 2021, we're almost there and it's going to be different. So, let's talk about controlling the outcome, and the reason that I picked this topic is that it is so prevalent in my coaching program. When I work with people in solo sessions about all the noise in their head, and there are a lot of different versions of noise that we could talk about. But one of the biggest problems that I see people struggle with without even realizing it is trying to control the outcome. You cannot control the outcome. What you can control is the conversation. And that's truly where the power is. And when I put people in that place and teach them how to control the conversation, not only is it very powerful, but it's so much fun and not in a manipulative, horrible kind of way, but in a ‘controlling the experience’ kind of way. What kind of journey do you want to take me on? That is what is in your control. Which of my senses do you want to touch? Which emotions do you want to connect with me on? That's what I mean by controlling the conversation. And you do have the ability to do that when you know how to use your voice to do it. But what people do every day, nonstop is try to control the outcome. Now, what does this mean? Control what you think of me. Control how you're perceiving me. Control what I get and sometimes it's simply an outcome-driven and I'm a problem solver, and I'm going to drive to the outcome and solve your problem because I'm going to control the outcome by solving your problem. But here's the thing, and you have to embody this. You cannot leave this theory. You cannot control me. I use this example and you've probably heard me give you this example before. I would love for you to like me. I would love for everybody to like me. I would love for everybody to think I was a great voice coach. But at the end of the day, I have no control over what you think of me. I have no control over whether you like me and I don't even go to that place of the outcome. All the time my clients ask me, “how do you, do it?” And it's, it's quite simple. I have it absolutely, 100% trained myself to not go to the outcome and if I go there, I immediately get back to the now. I have people that I work with that are problem solvers, that are outcome-driven, they are people pleasers. I've got people that I've worked with over the years that will sit and spend a Sunday trying to figure out every single solitary question that might be asked of them and how they will answer it, that's trying to control the outcome. I don't go there. Now, that's not to say I don't prepare because I always prepare. I've got a little list of bullet points, a little list of words in front of me now. I haven't looked at it yet, but it's there in case I need it. I don't want to forget anything. But it's just not on my radar to think “how many downloads will this show get? How will people like this?” Of course, I want you to like it. I want it to make an impact on you, but I cannot control that. But I can control the conversation. Well, let me back up a second. I can control the conversation by creating the journey. But I can also control the conversation and alleviate aversions that you might have to my voice because I know how to do that. And why I even threw that in is because you could say, “well, even if I do my 150% best thing that I do, my best version of me, Tracy, somebody still might not like me.” That is always true. And that is why you cannot control the outcome, but here's the thing. You can play all the shades. You can play all the notes. You can play all the elements so that you are not driving any of your potential audiences away, which is what sometimes we do. We stay on one note and somebody has an aversion to that note and we drive people that are truly ours away. But I'm digressing, I'm going down a rabbit hole and I want to get back to controlling the outcome and you cannot do it. A lot of people are outcome-driven, which is an admirable quality. Successful people are outcome-driven, problem solvers. I'm not a problem solver, I don't think. but a problem solver and an outcome-driven person will always head to that outcome. “I'm already in the outcome” and you miss the connection. Because here's the thing, and I want you to get this, something as simple as being outcome-driven or being a problem solver puts things in your voice that keeps me from connecting with you. You are already in the outcome. You are trying to control the outcome. How I processed that subconsciously is that I'm not a part of it. So not only do I not connect, I'm repelled potentially. So, you're missing opportunities by trying to control the outcome. People pleasers. This is huge for people pleasers. You're trying to be what you think we want you to be. And so, you're neutralizing you. You're not revealing vocal variety. You don't have movement in your voice. You aren't conversationally talking to me. You aren't grounded in your message. You’re trying to be what you think I want you to be. And here's the thing, you don't know what I want you to be, first of all. Second. I don't want you to be anything. I just want to know who you are. And I want you to be here in the now with me right now. And what happens when you are in that outcome and controlling that outcome and worrying about getting it right so that you get the result that you want even if that's me liking you, you don't end up being you. I don't know who you are and I can't connect because I don't even know who you are because you haven't shown me who you are because you're trying to control the outcome. Does that make sense? See where the rubber band ball of that is? It's a mask. You're putting something in place to get you a result that will keep you from getting that very result. People try to control the outcome by deciding what we're thinking. I see that at least once a day. Now, you guys know I'm a professed workaholic, borderline. Okay, I'm a workaholic. And I work a lot because I love what I do and I want to make the biggest impact before I leave this planet. At least once a day, I have someone who has already buffered what they're putting out because they're controlling the outcome. They've already decided what we're thinking. And I always come with the same question. “Did you ask me? Did you ask them what they're thinking?” And people are just gob smacked when I ask that question. They say “well, no.” Well, then who are you to decide when I'm thinking? That's controlling the outcome at its finest. You can't control what I'm thinking. And to try to control your delivery because you've already decided what I'm thinking. You've just sabotaged yourself because let me tell you, and I've given you this statistic before in so many shows, you're probably sick of hearing about it but 99.5% of the time, what you think we're thinking, we're not thinking. Perception and reception. But here's the truth; people are thinking about themselves. And I don't mean that to be mean or negative. You know it's true. Yet, we spend all this time and do all this buffering and try to do all this controlling the outcome because we’ve decided what people are thinking and they're not even thinking it. I do this in my group constantly. I can hear when somebody is buffering. I can hear when somebody is trying to control the outcome. I can hear everything. And I will say, “what are you thinking about?” And I already know what they're going to say. They're going to say, “I was thinking about what you were thinking.” And I always say, “did you ask me?” And they say “no.” And then I say, “so tell me what you thought I was thinking”. And they'll say, “well, I thought you were thinking X, Y, Z,” and every single time, I was thinking ‘A, B, C’ when they were thinking that I was thinking ‘X, Y, Z.’ I want to know, when are you going to stop falling for the tricks of the subconscious. The more I do this work, the more people I work with, the more I research, the more I am 100% validated in this methodology that I created and that it is a hundred percent true. Just today, and it's every day, I was working with someone on a driver and we were finding voice habits that they wanted to eradicate., Simple things like filler words and running on and on is what she was working with, re-tells and everything, and I said, “okay, that's great. That's the habit, but we've got to get to the driver.” Unless we eradicate the driver, we cannot eradicate the voice habit. If you are someone who has tried voice exercises before, you've tried warming up before you've tried another methodology or a pure methodology before, and it just didn't work, it's because the drivers were not dealt with and a driver can be, ‘I have to control what you're thinking of me to get what I want’ which is ultimately why we try to control the outcome to get what we want. I want you to like me. I want you to buy from me. I want you to do whatever. But I want you to embody the fact that you can't control me or anyone else. I can't control you. I can give you a hundred percent, the best version of me. I can ask you to leave me a podcast review. I can encourage you to join my group. I can ask you to tell three friends who are struggling with their tone of voice to listen to a certain episode. I can do all of that, but I cannot make you do anything including like me, or change your life by rewriting your psychology of the voice story. I can't, but I can show up 150% and control the conversation. That's all I have the power to do. The number of times people are struggling and they are not in the now is profound. And the negative things that are happening in their voice, whatever it is are always because they're not in the now. They're trying to control the outcome or other things, and I just want to keep this to controlling the outcome. But one of my favorite things to watch is when people start to learn how to control the conversation. And I can't even begin to tell you the number of people that I've worked with over the years that have said, “when I met with you on that call to see about working with you, I knew without a doubt I had to work with you.” Or sometimes they'll say “I knew I had to find the money to work with you”, or “I knew I had to figure out a way to be in your group. How did you do that, Tracy? How did you do that? Because that's my problem. I can't land the deal. I can't close the sale. And it's super simple. I'm not trying to control the outcome. Do I want to make a sale? Sure. Do I want to change your life? Absolutely. But I can do my best dog and pony show and if you're not ready or if you are not there because I haven't made you feel something, you're not going to buy. I have a full embodiment that controlling the outcome is not the answer. I never try to control the outcome, what I do try to control or do control, and I don't even like the word control concerning conversation, but I control the experience that I create for you. I am in the moment having a conversation with you, making you feel that I can help you. And that's it. And then I let it go. I get off the call and I let it go. Now salespeople might be shuttering in their boots right now saying “no, no, no. You’ve got to follow up. You’ve got to do this. You’ve got to do that. Well, I have a massive referral business and I have pretty awesome sales. I don't know. What's the word? The number of sales I close. Closing rate, I guess. I don't know and it's literally because I create a journey. I create a feeling. When people get off the phone with me, they know they have to work with me because they know that I can change their life. And I don't mean to say that in arrogance. It's literally what I teach people to do. And it's, it's not manipulation. It's about creating an experience, creating an emotional connection. Manipulation is controlling the outcome. Manipulation is asking all those questions and things that a lot of people will train you to do. And you're not connected to them, but you're manipulating people because you think that's what you're supposed to do. What you're supposed to do is release the outcome and get in the now and create an experience for me. Create an emotional connection and that's what your voice has the power to do. And 99% of people on earth are not even remotely maximizing that. They're not playing shades of emotion. They're not playing moments. They're not in the now. They're not controlling the conversation. They keep driving to the outcome and trying to be what they think we want and they're trying to control what we think or decide what we're thinking and you'll never win that way. Never. And I can tell every single time in somebody's voice when they're in the outcome because I can't connect to them. It's a teeny tiny sound and the listener’s subconscious is picking up on it that you're not with them. They can't connect with you and that's what's costing you. They can pick up that you've already decided what they're thinking. They can pick up that you think what we're thinking is that you don't know what you're talking about and we're not thinking that at all, but we pick that up. You guys have heard me talk about foreshadowing. I don't know if I've done an episode on foreshadowing before shadowing is the same thing. I'm in the outcome. I've already decided on the outcome and I'm putting it in my voice now and your subconscious picks up on it and you give me what I don't want like not buying. So, I need you desperately to stop driving to the outcome, to release the outcome, to stop trying to control the outcome. You can’t. I've been trying for 30 years to prove that you can, and you can't. Start focusing on creating an experience. What do you want me to experience when I have a conversation with you? When I listen to you speak or when I watch your videos, what do you want my experience to be? That's what I want you to think about and start working to create that. That's where your power lies. The only vocal power you can ever have is in the now and I bet you don't spend much time there because most people don't. A lot of times people think that they do and then they realize that they don't, but there's always a driver. There's always a story. That's got you down the tracks in the future, whatever it is. You think you already know what we're thinking. You don't want us to cut you off. You want to convince us that you know what you're talking about. You want a buffer to keep us from figuring something out. Whatever it is. But you need to let it go. You need to let go of the illusion that you can ever control the outcome. The sooner you do that, the sooner you can get back in the now and control the conversation. Learn how to control the conversation. All right. Well, that's it. I'm going to wrap it up there. This was a quick one, but an important one and something that I see everybody struggles with, even the people that tell me they don't. All right. So, think about that and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. If you want to try to jump in on the group coaching program that's about to start, go to captivatetheroom.com. But otherwise, that's it for today until I see you next time, you know what to do. Get out there and speak your truth. Just do it beautifully. Control. I wonder if you know anybody controlling or maybe you’re controlling.

Welcome to the show! Today I thought we'd revisit a topic that is very important, speaking truth but doing it beautifully! Speak your truth is a big thing now but what is often forgotten is the part about doing it beautifully. In today's episode, I break down the beautifully part and talk about why it's so important not to vomit your truth all over people in a way that is hurtful or rife with emotion.  If you do that, speaking your truth won't work in your favor. Everyone deserves to be heard...everyone and learning to use our voice in a way that reflects how we really feel are very important.  However, it's also important to speak our truth, well...beautifully!

Jen Forster is with me today and I met her in the group that Tyson and I spoke about in last week's episode. Jen and I had an incredible conversation about patterns and habits and how we sabotage ourselves. Jen helps people rewrite these patterns so they can get out of their heads and make decisions with ease. I know you are going to love this conversation and feel like you've known Jen your whole life! **Make sure you check out the website, I'm running another group coaching program in early August and I don't want you to miss it!   Guest Bio Jennifer is an entrepreneur, holds a Master in Business, has pioneered change for women abroad, succeeded as a competitive sportsperson, adventured globally and solo parented two kids. But as a ‘serial overachiever’ her success came at the cost of broken relationships, inner conflict, and burnout. In her book, The Power of a Peaceful Woman: 49 Ways to drop the armor and defuse the drama, she shares her 49 practical ‘real-life lessons’ that were the catalyst for getting her out of her head and into her heart and ultimately gave her a deeper level of peace, happiness and aligned her with a purpose-filled, abundant life.      For further information: Website: www.jenniferforster.com Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jennifer_forster_   Order Jen's book on Amazon, your favorite online store, or by clicking here: https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-power-of-a-peaceful-woman-jennifer-m-forster/book/9780648391746.html  

Welcome to the show! Today I've got an amazing guest that I know you are going to love hearing from, Tyson Sharpe.  Tyson's work is so aligned with Psychology of the Voice Effect, I know you are going to love hearing from him. Tyson and I had a great conversation about ego, Needing more vs. giving, How to find inner freedom, How to build a business you love and so much more!     Guest Bio If you have ever felt as though you need to ‘achieve’ to feel worthy of love, your growth may not come from another business strategy, but a shift in consciousness.   Tyson has coached hundreds of online business owners helping them transcend their patterns of fear, doubt, and frustration so they can build a more conscious business as an extension of their personal awakening. He does this by connecting ancient wisdom, eastern philosophies, and western psychology with modern-day business building.   Tyson is the creator of the online community ‘Connect Contribute Collaborate’ and is also the host of the ‘Awaken Your Business’ Podcast.   He believes that when you build a business from flow, creativity, and love, the universe will gift you opportunities that mirror the inner peace you feel. If you are ready to take your heart’s leap and create a meaningful difference, Tyson’s superpower is helping you to develop your wings to fly.  

Welcome to the podcast! I'm glad you are here today and I've got a very important episode for you...getting rid of filler words. I hear a lot of people say, "Don't worry about them, it's not a big deal, talk the way you talk"... It's a big deal.  When it comes to credibility...it's a big deal.   When it comes to distraction and being able to connect to you and your message...it's a big deal. In this episode I'm talking about what makes filler words a problem,  what filler words actually are, how to get rid of them for good! I think you'll like this episode!  

Welcome to the show! Today I've got another episode for you that is related to video and video platforms and came as a request from a listener. How do you command a presence when you are on video or on a video platform is what we are talking about. In today's episode, I'll give you specific techniques that will help you stand out and be heard no matter what platform you use your voice on. Video is tricky and Zoom gets exhausting.  After you listen to this episode, you will feel more commanding no matter what venue you are speaking on. Video is here to stay and a lot of events are going to move to virtual.  From webinars to live speaking engagements that are now online, commanding a presence is key!  

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! 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.   For the teen girls program you can go to www.captivatetheroom.com/girlvoice

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 statement tell us what you're going to tell us 2-3 body parts with a transition transition 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 practice. I leaned into vocal variety, connection to my message, and connection to my content; bringing the words to life and honoring my mother with them. Don't try to feed off the audience; they could be feeding you the wrong thing. Be mind, body, voice connected to your message. Be knowledgeable. Release the outcome. Be in the moment. Notice your audience but don't become affected by them. Until next time, you know what to do. Get out there and speak your truth, just do it beautifully.  Free training!

Episode #128 Increase Performance, Love Your Work w/ Sina Fak Welcome to the show! You are in for a treat today, especially if you are feeling a bit lackluster about your job or even the work you are doing as an entrepreneur. Today I'm talking with Sina Fak, a workplace engagement consultant who is very passionate about helping find their why so they will love their work. In today's episode Sina and I talk about: Why the grass may not be greener somewhere else, What really drives you to love your work, Having clarity, Being in alignment with your goals, Toxic workplaces and more! Guest Bio Sina is a Workplace Engagement Consultant who helps organizations increase performance by creating a culture where everyone understands WHY they LOVE THEIR WORK. He believes true engagement stems from people having clarity about how their work is in alignment with their Goals (e.g. personal, economic, and lifestyle goals), Growth (e.g. personal and professional growth), and Impact Objectives (e.g. the greater contribution they are making to the world). When people lack clarity they are more distracted and disengaged. The grass is always greener when you can’t see the grass you’re standing on.  The more clarity people have about how their work is in alignment with their personal, professional, and life objectives, the more intrinsically engaged they will be.  Through his various workshops and training seminars, Sina is helping organizations increasing workplace performance from the inside-out.  For more information about how he can help your organization, please contact him at [email protected]
