Today, I want to share some valuable insights from a recent conversation with a master of voice training and compelling speaking, John Henny . John has a wealth of experience from the music industry to the business world.
During our interview, we discuss?the importance of emotional connections in our interactions. Whether you're addressing a large audience or engaging in a Zoom meeting, the key lies in maintaining energy and creating that emotional connection.
Embrace?the camera in virtual interactions.?By mentally placing your energy in every corner of the room (or screen), you can make eye contact, radiate positive energy, and capture your audience's attention.
Building trust through compelling speaking involves two elements: the voice itself and emotional honesty. The voice, much like music, benefits from variation in tone, tempo, and intentional use of pauses. The emotional honesty of your message conveyed through intentions, can make a lasting impact.?
Eliminating filler words, maintaining vocal health, and being mindful of speaking pitch are crucial for impactful communication. Be?intentional with your communication, as it's not just the information but how it's received that makes the difference. (This principle extends to being a better coach or mentor, where connecting emotionally with your team enhances the effectiveness of your guidance.)
If you're intrigued by these insights, John released a book, "The Compelling Speaker ," offering a quick yet impactful read. The book covers various aspects, including voice training exercises, presentation tips, and ways to connect through intentions.
Thanks for letting me share,
Catherine aka Katie
