Have you ever been aclueistic? - "One without a clue" as defined by Mark Gorman. Life has a way of providing us with aclueistic moments, often free of charge.
In the Spring 84, I had just joined the military and was on my Basic Training (Boot Camp) at St-Jean Richelieu Québec. One morning during inspection, I was to review and sign my personal evaluation report of the last four-weeks in St-Jean. All of my marks were high, except in one area..."DRILL". I did not remember receiving any instructions on how to use a DRILL and I was clueless as to how to obtain a higher mark.
I asked the instructor, what DRILL was. Not a wise thing to ask at that time (thinking I was making fun of the issue) as he proceeded in increasing my awareness...in a very loud and resonating voice...into the field of Military Drill. To this day I can still remember how he projected his voice onto me and what he had had for breakfast.
I don't share this story to impress you with my military career, I share this story to impress upon you that your voice...your tone...your delivery will leave a lasting impression on people - it's not what you say, it's how you say it!
At last month's CAPS event we learned how to unleash the power of our voice with none other than Nabil Doss - known as "The French Voice of Paramount Pictures in Canada". Your voice delivers your message and greatly influences the way your listeners will process your message. Nabil's session was highly interactive, engaging, entertaining...used audiovisual elements, anecdotes and demonstrations that we are not soon to forget. Well done indeed Nabil!
In May we have the privilege to host Jane Atkinson, THE BRANDING EXPERT, who has helped hundreds of speakers focus their brand and raise their fees. As professional speakers, you have many options for growing your business. Finding someone with credibility - who has been there and done it - is essential. This learning seminar is going to rock!
