Ever wondered how your voice might be sabotaging your connection with your audience? This week on the People Gardener podcast, I share my transformative experience with a voice audit conducted by Tracy Goodwin, a leading voice psychology expert with nearly three decades of research under her belt. Tracy's insights revealed how the "masks" we wear—often shaped by our life experiences and traumas—can alter our communication, sometimes with unintended negative effects. Whether you're a small business owner, an aspiring leader, or simply someone who wants to communicate more effectively, you'll find invaluable lessons on how to harness the true power of your voice.

During my audit, Tracy pinpointed how a tone of desperation could make my passion for helping small business owners come across as off-putting. She likened our voices to an orchestra, where not inviting all instruments to play can result in a one-dimensional or unappealing sound. This episode is packed with Tracy's eye-opening advice and actionable steps to help you reflect your true self through your voice. Tune in to discover how to connect more authentically with your audience and become a more effective leader by refining the symphony of sounds that is your voice.
