“When someone is succinct in the way they speak, it shows me that they have clarity of thought. This is especially important when it comes to communicating at board level and to senior stakeholders.”
“What is more important than whether someone uses jargon or colloquial language, is that they read and respond to who is in front of them. This is especially key during a negotiation and the way they articulate a response is usually quite telling of whether or not they have read the situation accurately.”
“I know really brilliant, enthusiastic people who have been told that they don’t ‘sound’ enthusiastic enough, so there must be something in the delivery of that enthusiasm which is making it go wrong for them. We really have to open up that conversation around voice, projection and presentation because it could make a significant difference to hiring.”
“I was a fighter who could not handle being told off as it broke my confidence. An encouraging voice played a key part in helping my performance. But it’s different for everyone. Now that I coach others, I find an authoritative voice is also important to demonstrate that you know what you’re talking about. A good coach can always identify which style it is that his student needs and when.”
“There must be hundreds of presentations I’ve been to, thousands of meetings, and a huge number of talks I’ve listened to – most of which have given me the opportunity to catch up on my sleep or to multi-task because I’ve lost concentration. I don’t want them to shout. I don’t want them to jump around and sing a song. Just simply, use their voice to express emotions. With this, their ability to connect with the audience would increase tremendously.”
“Strong vocal delivery would definitely buy a cold caller more time on the phone with me, especially if they come across as serious, engaged and authoritative – because the contrast is so sharp with the multitude of blathering idiots you have to deal with!”
