Voice Is
Power. Great leaders communicate their drive, passion and commitment not simply
in their rhetoric, but embody them in the tones of their voices, through their
body language, in the very sinews of who they are. As Arthur says, "People
do not say to an individual, 'Your voice is tense or your voice is anxious.'
They may, however, say, 'You are tense or you are anxious.'" The following
tips will help you communicate confidently, effectively and authentically at
all times:
1. Communication
is not merely data. Please do not deliver as you type. Be strategic and
mindful.
2. 'The
meeting begins before you walk in the room'. Do not bustle, carry your Self in
Conscious Awareness embodying the leader you want to be known as.
3. Always
embody the axiom: 'It is not only the message, but the messenger that matters'.
It is not merely what we say, but how we say it.
4. Never
aspire to competence. To be competent is to be proficient. Rather, aspire to
excellence -- a commitment to being exceptional.
5. In Communication Mastery/Integrative
Leadership leaders ennoble. They do not subjugate. Treat everyone with respect.
6. Leadership excellence begins with
'leading by example'.
7. Create a Persona Statement -- your
personal brand. This will form the basis of how you want to be known, not
merely in what you do but who you are.
8. The routine is never routine. To become
a great Champion in sport or in life requires 'not just reps' but quality reps.
9. Our mouth is not 'our mind outloud'. Be
strategic.
10. "Breath is fuel." If it is
important enough to say, it is important enough to breathe before you say it.
It is the trigger that shifts your communication from unconscious/habitual to
Conscious Awareness.
You do have
a choice in how you are known. When you integrate your deeper Self through your
voice you will fulfill your Vision and become a truly extraordinary Leader.
This is Vocal Leadership.
To achieve extraordinary success in leadership there should be must learn the art of communication, because when your team knows about your goals, it becomes easier for them to work. Nice tips. Thanks!!!
