Today’s Times contains an article about voice/confidence/health. It’s got some useful tips – although there’s the common mis-understanding about the words you use only accounting for 7% of the meaning of a communication. (See my earlier blog – 7% rant) but it’s generally good stuff.
There’s an interesting point that about a third of us are now in professions where our voice is our prime tool. I don’t know where that statistic came from but if it’s valid it’s got serious implications for how we treat our voices/bodies. It’s particularly good to see the journalist recognising that she’s making presentations left right and centre in her work. My personal experience is that most “professionals” are “presenting” several times a day – the just don’t always relalise it!
