17
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.239
here's your host, w Park.
Good morning listeners. It's Tuesday and I'm

18
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:19.799
here with you. So what I
want to share with you is a really

19
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:26.200
exciting story that happened recently. So
what happened was one of my clients I

20
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.359
heard my podcast. You know,
usually I don't share my podcast with my

21
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.959
clients, but they went ahead and
listened to it. And I want to

22
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:45.120
give a shout out to her,
Jennifer. And what Jennifer said was that

23
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:52.319
while she was in the gym and
she found that there was a senior over

24
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:59.000
there and could not figure out different
machines, even though the trainer or the

25
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:04.079
gym member had shown her some of
the machines beforehand. So she took that

26
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:10.479
time and spent almost fifteen to twenty
minutes with the senior to help her carve

27
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:16.439
out her own workout. Not only
that, she also helped her learn all

28
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:22.159
the machines. And not only that, goodus to Jennifer. I'm so so

29
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.159
proud of you. Jennifer also set
up a couple of times with her when

30
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.360
she would do the workout when the
senior would be coming in. And what

31
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:39.080
happened is that this wonderful senior lady
was so thrilled that she shard that.

32
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:44.360
You know, she had been scared
to come to the gym looking awkward and

33
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:49.240
not knowing what to do, what
not to do. So Jennifer has struck

34
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.520
a beautiful friendship. And guess what
Now that wonderful senior lady is going to

35
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:05.919
the gym four times a week and
think about how your act of kindness can

36
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.800
change somebody's life. So keep that
kind of circle going, take that one

37
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:16.280
hour every month and help somebody with
no strings attached. And I want to

38
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:22.400

48
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:20.600
bring in our guest. Welcome Sloan. Good morning, Devia, So thank

49
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:26.480
you for joining us. Loan,
share with us if you recall a moment

50
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:31.199
from your childhood, whether it's a
moment or a person or anything from your

51
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:46.240
childhood that you still remember to this
day. Oh, that is a really

52
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.720
difficult question. We're still getting to
know each other, you and I.

53
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.920
My childhood was actually not a very
good one. Sorry to hear that,

54
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.920
but it's exact exactly why I do
the work that I do today. I've

55
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:10.560
been doing deep dives into why do
I help people find their voice? Because

56
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:16.199
my memories, uh were as growing
up I did not have a voice.

57
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:25.360
I given choice, there are not
many options, and it's why I do

58
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.800
the work I do today. You
know, with with all people, but

59
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:34.600
particularly with women, with young women
girls, in showing them, teaching them

60
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:40.519
that they they do matter, their
voice does matter, that they are valuable.

61
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.360
In fact, as I'm listening to
you with your introduction and your story,

62
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.160
uh, you know we're going to
be talking about the voice today,

63
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:56.920
and you have so much love and
nurturing in your tone like you draw,

64
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.839
you draw your listener in with with
the tonal quality to sound, and you

65
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:08.199
can hear the genuine care in your
voice. So you know, my first

66
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:15.480
feeling and entering intoday is oh,
you just calm, peace, support.

67
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:23.519
So to answer your question, sadly, I don't have you know my memories

68
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:29.279
are not to be shared on this
podcast that I understand that it's for another

69
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:35.240
show for sure. Yeah, I
understand that perfectly, slowly. And here's

70
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.879
the thing, based on what you're
telling me, is that even though you

71
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.480
had a rough childhood, you made
a lemonade out of it. Even though

72
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.439
you were given a lemon, you
didn't have a voice. But now you're

73
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:51.800
helping others find their voice. How
beautiful is that? So share with us

74
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:59.680
as you grew or as you stepped
into your adulthood, how did you learn

75
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.680
to find your own voice? Yet
you know it was it was a lot

76
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:12.560
of trial and error. I was
the oldest of three children, and my

77
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.839
mom was working a lot just to
keep a roof over our head and food

78
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:20.680
on the table. So I became
actually the caregiver for my siblings at an

79
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:29.480
early age, and it created conflict
because I was expected as a child to

80
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:35.720
do adult things, but when I
wanted the freedom to go out and be

81
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:41.720
an adult, particularly in my teenage
years, I would say, created a

82
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.879
lot of conflict. So I was
always getting a lot of mixed messages.

83
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.639
And then even into young adulthood,
I was still you know, fighting,

84
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:56.480
I was still I feel like I
spent a lifetime. I was also very

85
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.120
sick as a child. I was
in the hospital every year, upper respiratory,

86
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:07.120
lung issues. Again, coming back
to voice, A lot of the

87
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:15.800
work I do with the voice is
very healing, very physical. But somehow,

88
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.199
I think with all of the conflict, the experiences, I spent a

89
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.519
lifetime, you know, trying to
make my way, you know, to

90
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.160
prove, to prove my worth.
That was a big piece of my life

91
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.759
in finding my own voice. The
way I went about it was not always

92
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.320
healthy. I met a lot of
trouble even as a young adult. A

93
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.840
lot of the jobs that I had, I was frequently out of trying to

94
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:52.000
be helpful would overstep my boundaries.
I would offer help where help was not

95
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.960
asked, because as it you know, growing up these things that were expected

96
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:03.240
of me. Now I'm a young
adult adulting and jumping in where I'm not

97
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.519
asked to be of service and really
creating even more conflict, more problems because

98
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.879
my mole are saying, stop slung, I don't need your help. I

99
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:20.159
didn't ask for your help. So
that has created a lot of issues around

100
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:26.240
my life. And when I actually
began the vocal practice, it actually started

101
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:31.519
just to create income. I was
in a band, I was certified to

102
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.480
teach people. It was really more
about singing. This was twenty something years

103
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.519
ago, and it was really just
about, you know, creating income to

104
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.360
pay for my hair and my costumes. And then I started to see interesting

105
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.720
things started coming in. People started
coming in with vocal health issues, things

106
00:09:52.759 --> 00:10:00.679
with their voice and vocal fatigue.
I began to receive prescriptions literally from ear

107
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:07.519
nose throat doctors and speech therapists were
writing descriptions to people to go get vocal

108
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:13.799
coaching, and so I started to
see enough of those that I took note

109
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.879
and thought, wow, I really
should pay attention to this. So that's

110
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.480
what really got me entered into the
medical field as an expert in voice and

111
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.519
some of the things I've seen.
I wasn't always sure I would be able

112
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.320
to help the client. But the
method, the technique that I've been using,

113
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:37.919
it's really about building muscle strength,
flexibility, and endurance awareness around how

114
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:43.080
you're using your voice, and it
was successful. Some of the things I

115
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.559
wasn't sure that they would work,
but I was like, well, you

116
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.600
know, I'm not. You know, that was my caveat when the client

117
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.080
would come into work with is I've
never seen this before. This is what

118
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.600
I've been doing for X amount of
years. Let's try it and see what

119
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.240
kind of result we can get.
And fortunately the clients have all been you

120
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.519
know, willing, and I mean
from you know, people recovering from strokes,

121
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:13.000
uh getting their speech back, cancer
survivors, people under anesthesia where the

122
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.240
when the anesthesia tube went in,
uh, it clipped the side of the

123
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:26.639
vocal cords, causing damage. It's
it has been fascinating, div yet if

124
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.679
I were to come back again another
time, I think I would study the

125
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:37.840
brain. I would be a neuroscience
brain specialist in how our brain is attached

126
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:43.879
to all of this, the neuralink, neuroplasticity, neural linguistics, it's it's

127
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:50.759
fascinating, still fascinating to me after
all of these years. What did Geoannie

128
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:56.399
Sloan? And so, first of
all, thank you for such a beautiful

129
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.000
feedback that you shared with me about
my voice. And then secondly, I

130
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.360
just want to share with you what
I'm hearing is that here was I can

131
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:13.759
just picture that young girl eager to
help and then just finding her way and

132
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.240
you know, not knowing, not
sure, and the teenage is so fragile,

133
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.720
whether it's boys or girls. They
want to establish their own identity,

134
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:33.759
and yet they're not sure. So
they're either you know, a woman child

135
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.720
or a male child. And as
they're traveling through that journey, it's so

136
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.440
precarious. It's almost like they're on
the cliff. They don't know. Oh

137
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.200
when everything goes well, and that
jumping off the cliff becomes so exhilerating.

138
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.759
And then right there when you jump
off the cliff and you feel that you're

139
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.519
just falling off into abyss. And
I remember some of my times through my

140
00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:00.120
teenage where I wasn't sure, like
okay, you know, I'm taking the

141
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.559
step, I'm fully confident, and
then you find that your confidence is left

142
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.360
and it's just shredded into pieces like
as if somebody is a shredder. So

143
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.879
I remember seeing going through that,
and it's beautiful. How you shied that

144
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.799
when your clients game, we're very
transparent and you shared with them what the

145
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.360
expectation was. What are beautiful?
So tell us that as you've worked with

146
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:31.000
different people, what are some of
the mistakes that you have seen that your

147
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:39.879
clients make? Well, you know, the top five really come back to

148
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:46.600
you in a nut and I have
examples of professional women, male entrepreneurs,

149
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.320
business owners, but you're the most
common mistakes that I see. The number

150
00:13:52.399 --> 00:14:01.639
one is how we breathe is specifically
connected to the tonal quality that comes out

151
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:07.679
of our mouth here and so not
breathing correctly is the number one. And

152
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.039
I would say, oh my gosh, if I had to put a number

153
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.240
on it, give you, I
would say, ninety percent of the people

154
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.279
that come through my door are not
breathing correctly. We are. We're shallow

155
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:24.240
breathing. We're breathing up here into
the shoulders, creating more stress and tension

156
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.600
in our back and our neck.
Most of the planet is disconnected from the

157
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:35.080
lung capacity from the ribcage down,
so not breathing correctly, which when we

158
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:41.240
do that correctly, recalibrates our nervous
system. It helps us center and ground

159
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.759
and get calm. Unaware of tone. I shared a little bit about that.

160
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.480
You know, with your voice,
you have such a calming you actually

161
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.279
have a lot of water in your
voice, water earth, which establishes you

162
00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:00.440
as an authority in your work.
You know, monotone, this sound here

163
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.480
where it's the same tone all the
way across right, putting the listener to

164
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:09.039
sleep. This is another another mistake
that I see. And a rate of

165
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.759
speech, speaking so fast. I've
seen this with my with my kids,

166
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.240
talking so fast that I have to
ask them, can you please slow down

167
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.360
and repeat that again? You know, mumbling, not opening up the mouth,

168
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.440
and there's you know where people are
being asked to repeat themselves again.

169
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.159
So you know that those those are
probably the most common that not breathing correctly,

170
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:37.200
unaware of their tone, not you
know, the monotone versus having some

171
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:43.159
melody, a break, the power
of the pause, speaking too fast,

172
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.799
mumbling, and there's a whole list
of others, uh, you know,

173
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:54.679
vocal fry that's out there that I'm
demonstrating that for for the viewers, for

174
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:02.279
the listeners, because this is almost
a culture thing that I've seen in young

175
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.240
adults, and you know, especially
if they're getting ready to enter the workforce.

176
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.639
Uh, it's I don't know where
it came from. Uh, it's

177
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.200
it's something that they're unaware of that
it's even happening until I pointed out.

178
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.840
And I use the example of your
interview skills for example, you know,

179
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:26.799
to two candidates, they perfectly fit, same education, same amount of experience.

180
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.480
They look great, they sound great, but you have one who has

181
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.240
clarity and their their voice is clean
and clear, where the other one has

182
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:38.120
this stuff going on in the voice. And I'm able to point out,

183
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:41.320
you know, who do you think
is going to get that job? The

184
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.440
one with the clear, the clarity
and the voice or the one using the

185
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:51.639
vocal for aud they're not even aware
they're using. It's more common than you

186
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:53.000
now, all of a sudden,
the listeners of you, you're going to

187
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.559
start listening to people's voices like,
oh my right, our awareness is now,

188
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:02.600
Pete, Yeah, so that is. You know, you have brought

189
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:07.640
up so many good points. So
Sloan, can you tell us You mentioned

190
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:14.359
that people are not aware of how
they sound, and here's what happens.

191
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:22.160
So I was very fortunate to have
had speaker training where a lot of things

192
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.880
were pointed out, and even now
every single day I'm learning and I'm learning

193
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:32.599
from you right here. So how
first step, how can people become aware

194
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.440
of their voice? What can they
do so that they're aware, like you

195
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.119
know, how they're sounding, and
especially as you mentioned, if someone is

196
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:45.279
going for an interview, or even
if they're presenting something important to the leadership

197
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.480
team, or if they're presenting it
to the colleagues, I mean, any

198
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:55.440
place it is so important, like
or if it's an entrepreneur going on LinkedIn

199
00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:00.400
Live or even doing a podcast interview, tell us, like, you know,

200
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.400
how can they become aware? Diva, this is such a wonderful question.

201
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:11.720
I'm so glad that you were asking. My recommendation is to record yourself

202
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:18.119
and whether you know that's on your
computer. I love the devices the phones

203
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.839
now, the quality of the recording
devices on the phone, or if you're

204
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.359
old school, you know, still
using digital recorders there. Those are such

205
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:33.880
a great tool. So whether it's
you know you're doing all of the examples

206
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:38.279
that you just mentioned, you know, I suggest that you actually I still

207
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:45.559
record myself when I'm preparing for anything, I will record, I'll get a

208
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:52.000
sample of that. A common thing
for many many people, clients, they

209
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.240
don't like hearing their voice on a
recording device. So there is a definite

210
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:03.240
common there's a disconnect between the brain, the ears, the body. They're

211
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:04.000
like, oh, you know,
that's that's why people come to me.

212
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.440
I don't like the sound of my
voice on a recording machine. Or remember

213
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:14.200
I remember the days of the answering
machines on the telephones. Oh yeah.

214
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:22.319
So my recommendation is definitely record yourself. It is really important. Listeners,

215
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:29.039
audience, viewers. I can't say
enough about how important it is for you

216
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:36.160
to try to do your best to
detach from the outcome, detach from your

217
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:41.279
voice, needing to sound or be
a particular way. Right, if you're

218
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.799
listening to this, this interview,
if you're watching this, it there.

219
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.119
You're here for a reason. You're
here because you want to learn, you

220
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.279
want to grow, you you want
new tools. In order to do that,

221
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.359
we have to do things that are
uncomfortable, and for a lot of

222
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:02.759
people, one of those uncomfortable things
is recording your voice and giving it a

223
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:06.599
listen and not judging it. This
is the common thing. I don't like

224
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.160
how my voice, so I really
don't want to do that. I really

225
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.319
don't want to do these workouts you're
giving me, Sloan, they sound horrible.

226
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:17.759
We need to take the judgment away
in order to get to the other

227
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.920
side. Does that make sense?
Yes, definitely. And what you're telling

228
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:29.920
is that setting yourself as an audience
and if you're listening to your voice and

229
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:37.480
okay, how does that sound?
And hmm, it is how I wanted

230
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.480
to say it. So that awareness
is such a big piece because if you're

231
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.200
not aware, then brain is designed
in such a way that it loves to

232
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:52.839
automate everything because it's designed to suffice, not optimize. So then you go,

233
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.359
you Mary Bay, doing what you've
been doing, and then thinking,

234
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:02.200
hmm, why didn't this meeting tona
or why I was untie able to influence

235
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:08.759
or why what happened like you know
this client liked or this colleague like this

236
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:12.079
person and there so there's so many
questions. So this can be one of

237
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:17.680
the efforts and one of the tools
that people can have. So now going

238
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:22.799
back to those five mistakes that you
mentioned, can you show us how can

239
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:33.119
people overcome those mistakes? Well,
you know, one example, you have

240
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.960
a woman. May I share an
exam. I've had so many powerful examples,

241
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:44.000
but how I've used this. I
had so many successful you know men

242
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.559
and women that have come through,
and this is like the last little piece.

243
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:53.880
They're very educated, multiple degrees.
Alena is one of my favorites.

244
00:21:53.960 --> 00:22:00.799
This is woman is an aerospace engineer, very smart, and she was really

245
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:07.160
being challenged by her teams, you
know, fe frustrated, almost angry.

246
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.960
She was very sweet when she came
to me, not feeling supported. Constant

247
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:17.599
communication struggles in her company. The
first thing I had to address with her.

248
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.200
Now this, this is another thing. If English is not your primary

249
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:23.920
language, if that is not the
language you grew up with, that creates

250
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:30.279
a whole nother set of problems.
So her first language was Spanish, and

251
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:36.440
you know, a culture rich with
passion and fire, you know, as

252
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:40.119
it relates to the elements I mentioned
earlier. You have a lot of water

253
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.880
and earth in your voice, dive. Yet it's very calming, it's very

254
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:49.000
welcoming. Well, because she was
so passionate about her work, the pace

255
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:56.319
at which she spoke was very fast, it was very curt People often thought

256
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:02.720
that she was actually angry, which
would repel instead of attracting her team to

257
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.359
want to collaborate with her, she
was actually repelling her people instead of bringing

258
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.880
them into work with her on her
projects. So just a few adjustments that

259
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.519
we did for her voice, you
know, some of the mistakes that we

260
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:22.720
addressed. First thing I did was
we slowed her rate of speech. So

261
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:25.960
we and we practiced this. We
recorded this so she would, you know,

262
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.440
preparing specifically for a project. I
helped her she was going to be

263
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:36.400
presenting, and so we recorded once
through video and audio. Then she's able

264
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:41.559
to go back watch listen. We
slowed things down, so the tempo at

265
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:48.400
which she was speaking, we balanced
out all that fire, that tone,

266
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.519
that that uh, that passion.
You know, she didn't it didn't mean

267
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.279
it in the mean way, but
the listener, her teams, the way

268
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:02.160
they are receiving it was, wow, she's up, very nice. I'll

269
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:06.039
keep it, I'll keep it family
friendly. They were saying other things behind

270
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:11.519
her back. But we just we
calmed that fire down. We added added

271
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:18.400
more water. We balanced that with
more earth to have her feel more as

272
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:23.880
an authority, more calm, more
confident in her body. The water balanced

273
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.960
out that fire, and she was
most excited, you know, at the

274
00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.119
end of the day should take these
back. And we worked for several weeks

275
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:37.519
together and she just kept applying the
principles that I was teaching her, and

276
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.240
each week she had more success.
But when we parted, the thing she

277
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:48.440
was most excited about was the power
of the pause. She was going into

278
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:53.799
her meetings way more calm, feeling
more productive, definitely feeling more engagement with

279
00:24:53.960 --> 00:25:00.160
her teams. But the pause,
instead of her feeling like she needed to

280
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:07.200
jump in or defend a perspective or
her ideas, she would stop, wait,

281
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:12.039
put it back on you know,
the other other team members, ask

282
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.680
them for their thoughts. Uh.
She said that was that was just a

283
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:22.359
game changer for It was transformative.
Uh. It really it changed everything and

284
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:27.640
how she communicated and the success of
just bringing the people together as a team

285
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:36.279
to collaborate and work together instead of
everyone feeling defensive like they had to defend

286
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.880
their ideas and they had to defend
you know, and and the agitation between

287
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:47.200
them and her as their team leader. HM. That's a very powerful example

288
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:53.200
of examples. Yeah, it's what
you're talking about is a pause that it's

289
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:57.319
okay, it's okay, to take
a pause to think through what you're going

290
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:04.559
to answer rather than jumping into it
or interrupting someone. So that's very very

291
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:11.079
powerful. And then you had mentioned
a few so like breathing, let's now

292
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:17.640
talk about how can people that's if
somebody is a good speaker, how can

293
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:22.759
they enhance and elevate their leadership skills? Like, do you have any vocal

294
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:27.119
practices that you can share with the
listeners and audience and viewers who can go

295
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:34.119
and like implement in their lives immediately? Oh? Absolutely, you know some

296
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:41.759
sort of a practice, and you
know you you the listening, viewing audience.

297
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:47.279
If you are already speaking on stages, you might already have some sort

298
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:52.119
of a practice or something that you
do to get yourself in state. If

299
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:59.599
you are new to presenting or leading
or podcasting. And I still have my

300
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:06.079
little vocal warm ups, but something
that you can do. There are numerous

301
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:10.960
things that you can do. I
personally prefer there. It's a two parter

302
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:18.519
for me. It takes less than
five minutes. First grounding and centering.

303
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.359
Well, I'm always suggesting to my
clients they have vocal workouts that they've created

304
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:29.440
on their phones or on the through
the zoom if they're not in my area.

305
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:34.240
First is to do a deep breath
workout, and I have multitudes of

306
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:40.799
those that and there are a ton
available online. But something that grounds you,

307
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:47.079
that combs your nervous system. I
personally love because it's so fast.

308
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:51.200
Do you want to try one right
here? Do you want to get it?

309
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:53.680
And people might already know this,
but I like taking the left hand,

310
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.680
put that on the heart, and
then take your other hand and put

311
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:03.240
that right right on your stomach,
just above your belly button. And then

312
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:10.079
as you breathe, so we're connecting
the mental brain to the physical body through

313
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.519
breath. And the idea here is
to inhale through your nose or your mouth,

314
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:19.680
not up into the lungs. You
know, inhaling your shoulders up to

315
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:23.880
your ears. If you're watching this, this is not what we are doing.

316
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.680
Friends, you want to keep those
shoulders relaxed. In fact, as

317
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:32.480
you breathe, you don't want those
shoulders to move at all. You want

318
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.720
to inhale through the nose or mouth, past the lungs, down into that

319
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:42.279
solar plexus muscle where your hand is
sitting on your stomach there, moving the

320
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:51.400
hand forward as you inhale and then
as you exhale, that hand should move

321
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:57.480
toward your spine, so the shoulders
aren't moving at all. So as let's

322
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:03.440
try that again. Let's breathe through
the nose or mouth down into the solar

323
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:10.119
plexus, moving that hand on the
stomach forward with the inhale, and then

324
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:15.039
as you exhale, the hand should
go towards the spine. So you're emptying

325
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:19.680
that solar plexus muscle connected to the
diaphragm. You're contracting that muscle. And

326
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:25.759
this is something you can see how
fast that is. I suggest that you

327
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:30.759
take ten breath. This is something
you can do in your car before you're

328
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:36.559
going into a meeting, maybe that
you're feeling anxious about, if you're getting

329
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.759
on a stage. I have an
additional little thing that I like to do,

330
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.559
and that is just really to get
the body in that excited state.

331
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:51.440
And this is a vocal swoop I
call it. It's a very it's a

332
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:56.759
very Anthony Robbins type thing. But
you know, if you're in a place,

333
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.799
in a situation where you would actually
a visualize, right you would be

334
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.160
standing up for this. You know
a couple of jumping jacks, you know

335
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.359
some push ups. You know,
you know, everyone knows Anthony Robbins is

336
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:12.440
whole thing. But I just to
get energy moving in your body. It's

337
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:17.640
very weird. It's going to feel
a little bit loud. But you want

338
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:22.920
to imagine that you are drawing air
and energy up through the bottoms of your

339
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:29.079
feet. You're drawing support from the
planet, and you would draw that up

340
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:33.279
through your feet, up through your
legs, all the way up through your

341
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.519
body. You would release that out
the top of your head, and then

342
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:40.400
you would come all the way back
down landing on the planet. And it

343
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.160
looks like are you ready. It's
weird, it's loud, it's very silly,

344
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:49.680
but it's been working for over twenty
years, so I keep using it.

345
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:53.400
It's called a full range vocal swoop, and it sounds like this.

346
00:30:53.880 --> 00:31:07.640
Listen once, I'm gonna draw my
breath. Oh you want to try it

347
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:14.960
together? Sure, and it's meant
to be really loud. I'm holding back

348
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.119
a little bit here for the sake
of all of our audio. Let's try

349
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.039
it together. Nice big breath,
drawing that air from your from the bottom

350
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:37.559
of your feet. Here we go
A yeah, yeah, it's it's tricky

351
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.279
and we're sitting down. Uh,
And and there's so much more on all

352
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.640
of that. But so that's kind
of a two part thing that I do.

353
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:52.240
First and foremost always to get yourself, your your your your mental state,

354
00:31:52.759 --> 00:32:00.599
your vocal state, your physical state
prepared before presenting, before leading jumping

355
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:06.880
on a podcast. Uh. Is
that centered grounding breath to start, because

356
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:09.559
that's letting your brain and your body
know that you're okay, You're going to

357
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:14.960
be all right. The lions aren't
chasing us, We're not going to be

358
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.720
okay man days. And then the
second piece of that, if you need

359
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:24.200
to get yourself fired up and and
and increase your energy level, uh is

360
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:29.880
the full range swoop with some Anthony
Robbins, some push ups and some exercise

361
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:35.680
jumping checks. Yeah, definitely,
I'll have to listen to this podcast again

362
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:43.519
and then do it because I didn't
want to great a discord in people's years.

363
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:47.359
So I think, thank you for
sharing that. You're so welcome.

364
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:52.119
There's so oh my goodness, the
exercises and things I've created on the fly.

365
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:58.200
Uh. One I just created last
week. Although there's so many things

366
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:04.200
that you know, you create out
of this right, so many stories,

367
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:07.759
too many stories to share in this
short time. But just this week,

368
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.960
I have a woman she's actually she's
actually a property manager, so she's she's

369
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.079
kind of on her own and she's
got you know, she's married with a

370
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.799
couple of kids in college, and
she came to me originally her her boys

371
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.720
play baseball at the junior college here, and so she wanted to sing the

372
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:27.920
national anthem for you know, at
the beginning of the game, before they

373
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:34.000
throw the first pitch out. In
addition, she's been asked to This is

374
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:38.279
total different purpose for using the voice. She has been asked to audition for

375
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:43.599
a band, and it's an all
male band. They're just like a garage.

376
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:45.480
They do some fun parties and things. But she's the only female and

377
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:50.519
she's never done any of this before. So an exercise created again out of

378
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:55.359
necessity, is I kept noticing her
shoulders kept creeping up. And what happens

379
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.880
when our shoulders creep up, especially
we're singing something like the national anthem.

380
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:07.279
It's a big song, very athletic. When we start creeping those shoulders up,

381
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:13.320
we are disconnecting from the solar plexus, where your support comes from.

382
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:17.559
We need air to move through the
vocal chords to cause them to vibrate to

383
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.800
create the sound that we hear that
comes out of your voice. So I

384
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:28.559
just I happen to have these hand
weights that sit by my door. They

385
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.679
look beautiful by my door. I
finally found a use for them. I've

386
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:37.920
not been using them, so I
grabbed the five pound weights put them in

387
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:45.920
her hands. Those automatically kept her
shoulders down, which helped her to focus

388
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:52.360
on that breath from the solar plexus, which helped her to support when she

389
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:57.159
got to those big notes for the
anthem at the end of that song.

390
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:04.039
To be able to support and sing
those big notes with clarity, with confidence

391
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:09.360
on key in the right note,
and to sustain and be able to hold

392
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:14.360
those notes to the end. So
that's just a silly little thing. I

393
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:15.400
was like, you know, I
was like standing behind her, and I

394
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.920
was putting my hands on her shoulders
and pushing her shoulders down, like wait

395
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:24.320
a minute, let's try this.
So my clients frequently there's all kinds of

396
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:29.039
silly things that I've created as a
result of not knowing. You know,

397
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:31.960
what I've been doing already wasn't working. It's like, okay, so I'm

398
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.960
I've been blessed and creative and innovative
enough to be able to think, well,

399
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:42.880
that's not working. What is something
else we can try to get the

400
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.400
result that I'm looking for, to
get the results the client is wanting,

401
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:52.400
so powerful, so fun, so
fun, so fun too, absolutely so

402
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:57.480
Sloan. These are like a lot
of good exercises, great tips. And

403
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:00.239
I'm sure people are thinking, okay, and I find Sloan, how can

404
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:06.280
I work with her? So give
us all the details? Oh my goodness.

405
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:13.920
Well, first would be the website. Vocal Coaching by Sloan should get

406

Confidence. There are some free gifts
under work with Sloan. There are a

409
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:36.719
couple of audio files there, and
the one that I really want to offer

410
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:43.400
to the listeners is if you found
you know, if mastering your voice to

411
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:49.800
elevate your own confidence is something that
interests you, please schedule a complimentary find

412

your Voice breakthrough session with the link
that we have in the show notes here

413
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:59.440
that goes straight to my calendar.
It is complimentary. It's a forty five

414
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:05.400
minute session to answer some questions for
you see if focal coaching is right for

415
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:08.800
you. But the website is a
great resource. Like I said, there's

416
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:15.440
some free audio files there for the
listener. But if you are serious and

417
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.159
you have if you, the listener
or the audience are struggling with any of

418
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:24.320
the issues that DIVI and I have
spoke of today, please go get on

419
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:29.760
my calendar with the complimentary session and
we'll get you squared away. And at

420
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:34.039
the very least I can give you
some direction and make some suggestions for how

421
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:39.519
you might want to consider proceeding.
Absolutely, and I want to circle back.

422
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:45.320
You had mentioned initially that you're working
with people who have had medical challenges.

423
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.639
Can you also share with us as
to how do you do that?

424
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:53.920
And how somebody is experiencing any medical
or health issues, how can they come

425
00:37:53.960 --> 00:38:05.280
to you? Because having good help
is so important. Good health wellness is

426
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:13.800
probably my number one core value over
over anything Without our health, you know,

427
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.280
freedom, I would say, is
my number one you know freedom,

428
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:21.559
financial freedom. But if if we
don't have our health, you know we're

429
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:28.400
not free. So absolutely, uh
Well, I work with people uh one

430
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:32.800
on one primarily always to start uh
I do work online with clients as far

431
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:37.199
oh my goodness, as far as
Australia and uh, you know, London,

432
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.360
you know, all all over the
world at this point. But if

433
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:46.239
you are having a medical challenge,
you know, the first thing would be

434
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:51.880
again to meet for that initial session
to talk more about you know what,

435
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:55.039
what are the issues that you're having, and then I just break it down

436
00:38:55.199 --> 00:39:02.320
and more often than not, it
is usually the breathing is really a key

437
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:10.039
to uh unlocking, unfolding what is
going on in the rest of the body

438
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:16.000
of One more story here. So
I mentioned that I was very sick as

439
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:20.960
a child. Uh. I had
my first asthma attack at six months old,

440
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:27.679
and I was hospitalized every year right
around December, my birthday with upper

441
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.880
respiratory issues. I didn't I never
just got a cold. I would get

442
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:38.239
a cold that would turn into bronchitis
that would then turn into pneumonia and I

443
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:43.360
was in the hospital. Back then, you know, they didn't they didn't

444
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:45.599
have the oxygen machines like they have
now. You were I lived in an

445
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:52.760
oxygen tent. I was like the
bubble girl. And what happened is probably

446
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.480
around elementary school. I want to
say, maybe you know third fourth grade,

447
00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:05.280
I literally taught myself how to stop
an asthma attack. I was heavily

448
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:08.840
medicated always, so what they do
they probably still do, is if you're

449
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:15.199
having an attack and can't breathe,
they shoot you up with steroids and pregnozone

450
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:19.679
was in my system, a lot
pills shots. It would make me very

451
00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:23.400
anxious. I'd be shaking all the
time, and I couldn't stand the medicine.

452
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:29.519
I couldn't sleep, I couldn't communicate, and so I literally had no

453
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:32.440
idea. Again, it's part of
my why I do the work that I

454
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:38.400
do. I truly believe, Davia
that I healed myself with the breath work

455
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:45.280
as a vocal coach my own health
issues. I have never been as healthy

456
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:51.079
as I am today. I'm not
on any medication. Vitamin see that's all

457
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:54.440
I take, and lots of water, but I'm not on any medicine.

458
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:59.559
I don't have any of the issues
that I used to, allergies, skin

459
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:07.599
stuff. So I do believe the
work, any work with your voice UH

460
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:15.000
is very healing. The breath work, the body work, the connecting the

461
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:21.679
mental work to the body visualization.
I know sometimes it seems silly, and

462
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:23.039
I know for a long time,
you know, I didn't believe in any

463
00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.880
of that stuff, but you know, fast forward, I'm looking at my

464
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:31.920
life, I'm looking at the clients
that I help, and I'm I'm connecting

465
00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:37.599
the dots and realizing, wait a
minute, this work is really powerful.

466
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:43.039
It's why I'm still doing this.
It's what basically what we're hearing is that,

467
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:47.960
like you, you can do breath
work and you can increase or elevate

468
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.119
your well being and that can definitely
help you. So thank you for sharing

469
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:58.880
that. And as we wrap up
our show, I want to thank you

470
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:05.400
and do you have any very quick
parting words for our audience. Well,

471
00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:09.559
you know, if you're on the
fence and you're not sure about any of

472
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:15.000
this, but you have questions.
Again, I want to encourage you get

473
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:21.159
on my calendar so we can have
a conversation. I do love. I

474
00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:27.360
did bring a quote as a close
for myself. This is from Thomas Edison.

475
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.360
If we all did the things we
are capable of doing, we would

476
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:40.159
literally astound ourselves. We are so
capable of doing amazing things that we never

477
00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:47.840
even imagine, things that seem so
far fetched and out there. I believe,

478
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:53.920
because of my own life that anything
is possible. Anything. I love

479
00:42:54.000 --> 00:43:00.119
that. What a beautiful way to
close the show. So listeners, any

480
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:05.280
thing is possible. So thank you, Sloan. Really appreciate you, and

481
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:10.480
thank you listeners for being part of
our show because you are so vocal and

482
00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:15.960
I appreciate your trust. I appreciate
you reaching out to me and always sharing

483
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:21.320
your thoughts. So if there's any
other way we can serve you support you,

484
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:24.400
please let us know. And I
want to share something very exciting.

485
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:34.159
B will be starting a subscription very
soon and you will be getting bonus content.

486
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:38.360

00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:14.000
relationships. During Beyond Confidence, Dvpark
shares what happened to her when she stepped

494
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.800
out of her comfort zone to work
directly with people across the globe. She

495
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:22.519
