• be better able to collaborate and resolve any interpersonal conflicts. 

Stand Out from the Crowd

In an increasingly interconnected and overstimulated world, your voice of leadership will differentiate you and help you to stand out from the crowd. You may currently be expressing yourself in ways that do not support your ability to engage, influence, and creatively collaborate with others due to fear, painful past experiences, or lack of awareness. Finding and expressing your voice of leadership is key to achieving success both personally and professionally. 

This book is your toolkit of critical insights, powerful exercises, and new skills. It is designed to reveal your outmoded habits which no longer support you, as well as to assist you in establishing new, positive, empowering habits which you can begin to implement right away. 

Each of the voice of leadership keys is accompanied by practical exercises to develop your executive presence, influence, and creative confidence. We will focus on developing your voice and vision, vitality, values, visibility, and veneration. (influential, respectful communication). When you are operating skillfully in each of these six areas, you will be well-prepared to have maximum impact and to make your greatest contribution in both your personal and professional life. 

Key #1: Voice

When you hear your own voice now, what self-image does it affirm for you? This chapter will increase your awareness of what may be blocking your powerful voice and presence. It will also uplift your vocal confidence and speaking skills. 

Key #2: Vision

How do you envision your personal brand and creative potential? This chapter will help you to shine the light on how you are currently perceived and how you would ideally like to be perceived by yourself and others. You’ll craft your voice of leadership vision and purpose statement. 

Key #3: Values

By reflecting on what is of highest importance to you in your life and work, you will further strengthen your executive voice and presence. You’ll also bolster your integrity, persistence, and character strength.

Key #4: Vitality

Vitality is the state of being strong, alive, and active. It includes attention to developing greater self-care, self-awareness, and a positive attitude of self-acceptance, self-respect, and self-compassion. 

Key #5: Visibility

Visibility is the degree to which you are able to be noticed and seen. It is your ability to attract attention. You’ll learn the seven steps to powerful presence, the seven keys to crafting a persuasive presentation, and the five steps to creating an effective ‘elevator pitch’, a quick and effective way to introduce yourself. You’ll also look at other visibility tools such as social media, blogging, and your executive appearance.
