Developing Voice and Personal Charisma

Expectations of CEOs, managers or team leaders are often failed by their subordinates. This happens all the time, and, as is easy to imagine, it is precisely the people in charge who are the first to seek a solution. Seeking a solution is a good thing, only if you managed to accurately identify the root cause of the problem. Believe it or not, 90% of the time the problem is a lack of Soft Communication Skill.

Who doesn’t dread the moment when someone, perhaps during a job interview, asks you to briefly introduce yourself? 

Yet, the subject we are asked about is the one we should know better than any other: ourselves. 

Out of the thousands of things you could say, which could be the most interesting to make an impression? Surely the key point is just how to start a kick-off speech. 

This first step will define your personality, at least for your interviewer: the employer. 

What is the mistake to absolutely avoid during a job interview? Do not repeat what you have already written in your Curriculum Vitae, partly because it has already been evaluated before the face-to-face meeting, so it is important to add new information that on paper may not transpire.

Today an interesting article came out in MF, Milano Finanza, the high profile magazine related to investments, titled “How to speak in public: public speaking for professionals and entrepreneurs” in which it is explained why Inborn Voice Vocal Coaching is the natural evolution of Public Speaking, especially from a business perspective.

What is meant by the term diction? What does diction teach and why is it important to have good diction?

Before answering these questions, let’s start with an important premise: the key to any form of communication is the integral reception of the message you want to send.

Just as good calligraphy serves to make a handwritten message easier to read, good articulation and pronunciation serve to make an oral message fluid and more understandable.

It should be understood early on that diction in the strict sense is only an embellishment, an element that facilitates communication, and not a substantial part of it.

Sooner or later everyone comes face to face with an uncomfortable question. The interviewer who asks the awkward question may be a journalist, an employer, a lending institution, for example during the mortgage application process at the bank.

Inconvenient questions are those that seek to expose us, draw us out or catch us by surprise. All of these questions assume something we want to keep hidden, that we are not proud of, or that is inherently confidential or damaging in nature to us or those we represent.

There is no doubt that being prepared for all kinds of questions and interviews is critical, but it is even more so when we estimate that the answer will determine much of our future.

You’re probably looking for the art of avoiding answering uncomfortable questions, i.e. the ones you’re afraid will be asked, but here at Inborn Voice we prepare you for that and more.
