Many coaches think their speaking problem is about confidence.
It's not.
You can be confident and still sound disconnected. You can nail every word and still feel like something's missing. Because the real issue isn't what you're saying - it's where you're saying it from.
In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Sally Prosser, voice coach and author of Voice Print, who breaks down why most of us are only accessing about 10% of our vocal power. And no, this isn't about voice exercises or sounding more authoritative. It's about understanding that your voice runs from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head - and most people are stuck living in their throat.
Sally shares the difference between speaking with confidence and speaking your truth, why "sounding professional" usually means emotionally disconnected, and how to bring your voice, body, words, and intention into alignment so people actually feel something when you speak.
You'll discover:
The three vocal zones (head, heart, solar plexus) and why your calls to action aren't landing if you're in the wrong one
Why nervous speakers have their feet pointed at the exit and how to ground yourself
The science behind humming (it activates your vagus nerve and releases nitric oxide to fight off illness)
How authenticity is really just alignment and why most people don't have the vocal mastery to pull it off yet
Why vulnerability requires courage, and how climbing "Cringe Mountain" is the only way forward
This episode isn't about sounding better. It's about sounding real. And when you finally access the full channel of your voice, you don't just communicate more effectively you connect in a way that moves people.
If you've ever felt like something's off when you speak, even though you're saying all the right things… this conversation will show you exactly what it is.
