How do you use your voice? This is what Speech Language Pathologist, and my personal friend and sorority sister, Pascale Bourne, teaches us in this episode originally featured as a LinkedIn Live session.
Not only does Pascale share ways we can take care of our voices, but she also reveals how our voices can be one of our biggest assets if we choose to use it powerfully. In this episode, we discuss contains a wealth of information about vocal hygiene, how pitch leads to presence and even which strategies are the best for using the perfect tone.
Don't take for granted how powerful our voices can be, especially when used to evoke our inner power!
QUOTABLES:
“Take care of the instrument you’ve been given.”
“We need our voices at this time.”
“Pitch can lend itself to your presence.”
“Our voice is really a mirror for ourselves.”
“God opens doors that you didn’t even know existed.”
THE FINAL FIVE:
- What was your first job? I worked at Domino's Pizza. I put on my application that I was 16 instead of 15. I didn’t want to ask her to buy me a pair of Jordache jeans.
- What do you think makes someone a good leader? I think being able to be in the trenches with your team, understanding where your team is coming from, and working towards being a ‘barrier-buster' instead of creating barriers.
- What is one book that has had an impact on your life? Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. I have a fascination with the afterlife. I believe that there is so many wonderful things that happen when our spirit leaves the body. I think it’s a beautiful thing.
- If you could have brunch with 3 people dead or alive, who would you pick and why? Maya Angelou (I named my daughter after her), Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama. I just love them!
- What do you put on to feel most powerful? I like jewelry. I love the way it makes me look and feel. I like putting together outfits with the right jewelry.
