Needing to Peform
April 09, 2024 16:25 - 46 minutes - 64.9 MBWelcome to the show. Performing, it's the way many of us learned to deliver our message even as children. But performing can be very problematic when it comes to connection and authenticity. Today, I'm working with Helen and she reveals that she has a tendency to feel the need to perform. It's a common voice mask and it blocks connection, it prevents authenticity. So what's the good in it? Your subconscious feels like it's good, because it protects the real version of you from getting o...
How you want to sound vs. how you do!
April 02, 2024 09:01 - 48 minutes - 68 MBWelcome to the show! Today I'm doing a micro voice audit with Ashley M. I love this conversation because this is so common for so many of my students. I think I sound like X or I want to sound like X but I sound like Y. This is huge and the VERY reason you can't just go think your way through changing your Psychology of the Voice. This is the deep work. The really deep work and it's important work. Now more than ever because your ideal clients are seeking sounds, they are seeking c...

The 7% Statistic Lie
March 12, 2024 09:15 - 23 minutes - 33.1 MBWelcome to the show! In today's episode, I'm talking about a statistic that I hear weekly and sometimes daily being quoted. The statistic is, that only 7% of the message is interpreted via words and the balance is through voice and nonverbals. It's not accurate, it was never meant to be used as a research point the way it is being used. What is my problem with that you ask? People are not doing their due diligence on what they teach, this is a problem when it comes to buyer trust which...
The Neuroscience of Pitch
March 06, 2024 17:14 - 39 minutes - 54.6 MBWelcome to the show.

I'm referencing the Huberman Lab podcast and Chris Voss in this episode. In NO way am I being critical of women's voices. Women have...

High Touch with Christina Jandali

The $150K Case Study
February 01, 2024 10:03 - 28 minutes - 39.7 MBWelcome to the show! Today I want to talk about a former client of mine that made a few specific shifts and yielded incredible results. I believe the process here in Psychology of the Voice is key and ultimately what delivers results. However, many times one or two specific things we shift become the lynchpin for shifting everything when it comes to making more money, having more confidence and commanding the space. Today, I'll tell you specifically about a few things that I shifted in m...

In today's episode I'm doing some live coaching with Rosalyn Rourke on her audio book. Audio book sales are a huge part of the overall revenue when it comes to selling book but having a voice that makes people want to listen is critical. The number of times I've heard from people that they could not listen to the audiobook of a book they longed to hear but they just couldn't because...

Sending the Wrong Message is Costing You
January 23, 2024 19:19 - 49 minutes - 69.4 MBWelcome to the show. Today I've got another episode where I'm working with a voice. Today is the voice of Kelli and this was absolutely one of my favorite episodes of voice audits. Why? Because there was such a breakthrough for her when I was able to tell her WHY her ideal client wasn't buying. This is huge and what I'm hoping to get through to everyone. Your voice is misrepresenting you. It does not matter what you think you are doing, it matters what they are hearing and processing....
Show me the Data!
January 23, 2024 10:08 - 37 minutes - 52.3 MBWelcome to the show! Today I'm talking about quantifiable evidence and responsibility. My most recent research study made something clear that I already suspected. Buyer trust is shot. It's gone. The primary reason for this is because everyone became an expert overnight but they couldn't deliver results. Buyers have been burned. Today I'm talking about how important it is as consumers to ask to see the data, to stop seeking a silver bullet and to ask better questions. As service prov...
Mastering Life with Anna Powers
January 11, 2024 10:04 - 50 minutes - 70.7 MBWelcome to the show! You are in for a treat today.

Out with the remnants of blocks of sounds that are keeping us from connecting with you and keeping you unable to play big and authentic. All three of ...
Show me the data!
December 26, 2023 10:04 - 37 minutes - 52.3 MBWelcome to the show! Today I've got an important episode for you. Show me the data is something I expect my consumers to demand of me. I believe it is incredibly irresponsible to just copy what others are doing. There is a big difference between copying and being influenced. Being influenced by to create, I'm great with in fact I had some of the greatest voice masters of our time influence my work and my God given gift. But, we have lost trust as buyers because people are sharing info...

I know you will receive so much joy from listeni...
Don’t Like Your Voice?
December 16, 2023 10:14 - 28 minutes - 40.3 MBWelcome to the show! In today's episode I'm talking to those of you that don't like your voice. Now, this might not be you but I think you'll find this discussion valuable in relation to your voice and what you might not recognize but also in relation to other's voices. When you are communicating with someone or even from the perspective of your own voice, the wound plays a significant role. Wound or wounds from our life are coming out in the voice choices you make and you do not even r...

Stop Grabbing Attention
December 12, 2023 16:46 - 33 minutes - 47 MBWelcome to the show! In today's episode I'm talking about the mistakes we make by doing what we've always been told will work, grabbing attention. Our quest to hook, to grab, to make sure people hear and notice us is faulty. In fact, this quest can cause us connection and authenticity very quickly. But the key here is that trying to get my attention does not work. Maybe it did at one point but it won't work now. The paradigm has shifted and your listener, buyer, person is seeking somet...
Needing to Be Liked
November 28, 2023 10:33 - 22 minutes - 31.4 MBWelcome to the Show! Today, I'm addressing the costs of needing to be liked. This is a big issue and a core driver for a lot of people. Needing to be liked is in the people pleasing voice mask family it will cost you. When you need to be liked, it significantly impacts your voice and how your sound is processed. Needing to liked also creates a lot of angst around your delivery. It's exhausting! Join me today as I break down what needing to be liked really means and what it's costing y...
They Hear It
November 26, 2023 10:14 - 30 minutes - 43 MBWelcome to the show! Today I'm talking about the sounds that your ideal client or team or family hears and processes in their subconscious. They can't unhear the microscopic sounds, the subtle nuances of you trying to cover something up or avoid a topic. They make decisions based on those sounds and this is why technique won't work. In today's episode I talk about how we have to shift the entire foundation of where we are working from because the old school ways won't work anymore, not t...
Cost of Misrepresentation
November 21, 2023 10:13 - 49 minutes - 69.4 MBWelcome to the show! Today, I've got another episode of coaching from the Psychology of the Voice podcast. This is one of my favorite calls because the issue I am most concerned about is very common. My guest, Kelly has sounds in her voice that are amazing and she has sounds that are causing her to leave money behind. Her voice is misrepresenting her and I want to change that. This is a great in the moment spot coaching call that I think you will love!

Michael understands the concept deeply, as I do that what we've always been told from a technical perspective may not be wh...
Needing Perfect Circumstances
October 17, 2023 09:01 - 23 minutes - 33.7 MBWelcome to the show. Today's episode is on a VERY important topic, being ready and having all the perfect circumstances in place before you can sound good, do your best work with your best voice. I've been talking about this for years but I want to talk about it again.

Connection and Influence
August 05, 2023 23:57 - 27 minutes - 38 MBWelcome to the show! Today, let's talk about the role of connection in relation to influence. When I say influence I mean influencing others.

Laughter is Costing You
July 13, 2023 20:18 - 28 minutes - 40 MBWelcome to the show. This one may ruffle your feathers because in your mind right now, laughter is a good thing and it is. However, in today's episode, I want to introduce you to the razor edge thin sound that makes all the difference when it comes to connection and credibility.

The Illusion of Communication
June 30, 2023 18:04 - 14 minutes - 20.9 MBWelcome to the show! In today's episode I'm talking about expectations, assumptions, the illusion that you communicated something that you did not. This is one of the biggest challenges I see everyone struggle with when it comes to effective communication, even leaders. Leaders, experts, people moving fast far too often we think we clearly communicated the task but we didn't...no matter what you think you communicated. To excel in leadership, sales, and building a culture of collabora...

Turning On
June 26, 2023 02:17 - 23 minutes - 33 MBTurning on... It won’t work and you’ve possibly bought into the lie. When you go on stage, when you present, when you speak, turn it on. I’ve heard it so many times, "Oh, when I stand on stage, I turn it on". I hate to tell you but maybe you don’t and if you do... here is the problem. We can’t connect with you when you are in a slick voice. We can’t connect with you when you are 'on'. And the worst part, when you are in that mode, you really aren’t maximizing the full experience o...
Motives
June 26, 2023 02:17 - 25 minutes - 35.5 MBWelcome to the show! Today I want to talk about why we do what we do when it comes to how we use our voice and the communication choices we make. This is the final installment in the current lessons I’m learning from training my dog and this episode is the one I’ve been telling you about. When we make the choice to shame, try to prove, please, make it clear what we know, control we almost always make the wrong choice, and it ultimately costs us. Why? Because of the experience it creat...
Creating a Massive Referral Business
June 26, 2023 02:16 - 24 minutes - 34.8 MBCreating a massive referral business is something I hear many people say they wish they could do. The problem I find is they are focusing on the wrong things. I have a massive referral business and I built it simply from the elevated experience I create for my buyer. When it comes to creating a referral business and a great experience, we have to look at authenticity to what degrees of it we use in relation to what we want our ideal client to experience. When we can line up the best vers...
Stop Listening to Yourself
May 11, 2023 14:16 - 22 minutes - 32.4 MBWelcome to the show! Today I've got a controversial one for you. Stop listening to yourself, stop replaying your video, stop recording yourself and deciding all the things you are doing wrong. Why? Most coaches tell you to do that. Right but most coaches haven't done the massive research on the subconscious and your voice that I have. Your subconscious will not let you be subjective about your delivery. Your perception will always reflect something different than my reception. In ...
