Are You Trying to Do It Yourself?

Recently I had a client who came to me because she was not feeling heard, and didn't know what was standing in her way. After listening to her for a short time, it became evident that the problem was with her voice. She spoke rapidly, demonstrated unclear enunciation, and had the habit of ending each sentence on the up-swing as if it were a question. These three issues resulted in an open invitation to ignore her if she spoke for any length of time.

In just one session, practicing a few simple exercises, this bright, fast learner was able to completely change the rate, pitch, and clarity of her speech. She began to experience immediate positive results. People seemed to be paying more attention to her when she spoke, and clients were spending more time with her, taking an interest in new things she was offering. Not only did these changes increase her confidence in herself as a communicator, but clients showed an increase in their confidence in her as a professional and trustworthy person with whom to do business.

Have you ever faced a leadership challenge again and again, just to end up hitting your head against the wall in total frustration? Have you ever put off getting the help you needed because you were determined to fix the problem yourself? Do you have any idea how much frustration, time, energy, and money you spent trying to do it on your own before you finally sought help?

I’d love to know YOUR personal experience in waiting to get help and what it ended up costing you in frustration, energy, time, customers, and cash?
