Own Your Conversation™ · 1 day · Powered by SoundWave®
People hear how you talk
before they hear what you say.
Every leader has a few dominant communication voices they fall back on without thinking. They're often strengths, until they become the only way you talk. Own Your Conversation™ shows leaders which voices they rely on, how others experience them, and how to switch voice on purpose to fit the person and the moment.
