Develop Your Leadership Voice
Who You Are
You are a senior executive. You communicate well and are respected by your staff to a certain extent. This is built on the fact that people have known you for a while. As a leader of your organization, you need to constantly meet new people, speak in various occasions and address to different groups, and the way you sound is crucial. You want to sound powerful and persuasive the moment you open your mouth to speak. You want to sound calm and in control even under stress or when you get emotional. You want to sound as a successful leader that your staff can look up to.
What Your Challenges Tend to Be
You want to have a stronger and more powerful voice that can command attention and convey your passion, a voice that projects the image of a successful leader to whom people look up, and a voice that motivates and inspires people. You know you lack something in the sound of your voice but can’t figure out what it is.
You want to sound calm, confident and authoritative at all situations, especially under stress or in the first few minutes of your speech. Unfortunately, it seems your voice always works against you. You feel the tightness in your throat, your voice may tremble a bit, or you start to speak like rapid firing. You try to hide the fact that your voice is failing you, without the right technique, however, your voice gets worse and sometimes you find your breath couldn’t catch up.
At times, you speak fast and try to get your message out quickly. Your staff has difficulty catching up with you and the result they give you frustrates you. You tried to remind yourself to slow down but after a few minutes your voice runs back to the fast lane. You wonder if there’s ever an effective way to slow down your speech rate.
When you get emotional or address a bigger group, lack of technique in proper projection, you end up shouting which irritates people and affects your image.
If you are a female leader, you find your voice is too weak to get people’s attention and the respect you deserve. People don’t show as much interest in your perspective as in the male leaders’. If you are a female leader with a high-pitched voice, it’s even more frustrating. Your find people turn off very quickly. And your staff is afraid of you because your high-pitched voice always sounds like scolding them.
What You Need Most Right Now
The first step to building up your stronger, more powerful and persuasive voice, making your voice work for you in any situation and solving all the voice problems you may have, is to find out what you don’t know.
