Captivate coaching – Perform with presence

RECLAIM YOUR VOICE

You are born with a free, expressive voice. By the time you are an adult that voice has become ‘civilized’ by the influence of family, culture, peer groups and your perception of status. You have learned to hold back your ideas and feelings, suppressing your full range of expressivity. Your habitual adult voice is a limited version of what is possible. People’s perceptions about you are strongly influenced by the literal sound of your voice. Regain access to the full resonant power of your voice and experience greater confidence, persuasive power, credibility and presence.

If you can connect and inspire you can change a room or a workplace, a city or a nation. If you can connect and inspire you can change the world.
