Vocal Leadership

If you aspire for the top job or are already in one, speaking better makes people want to listen to what you have to say.

Apparently, human beings are hardwired to tune in to lower frequencies. One study, by Duke University, showed that attractive voices tended to secure the highest leadership roles and earn the biggest salaries. After taking into account experience, education, and skill, the study suggested that a lower-pitched voice, correlated to greater leadership presence and the likelihood of heading a bigger company.

Ahead of her time and a compelling communicator, former PepsiCo Chief, Indra Nooyi made diverse stakeholders “see” her vision and shifted the company to healthier products. This was way before "Health" became the buzzword. Spoken communication is often the fastest way to turn ideas into action. When people feel the energy and conviction in your words, they are more likely to believe you.

What would it take to be like your favourite boss or CEO to speak with Confidence, Charm and Charisma? While there are no shortcuts to success, there are smart strategies to deliver quicker wins.
