The voice are different things that the voice is. Just the voice. The voice. How do we become a magnetic communicator? Where what we say, what we do, how we show up, when we walk into a room, people are drawn to you.

not those thoughts. Do you find executives resist that? The ones I'm working for are craving it.

We need to give people a reason to show up and find that purpose. Engagement is like 35%. That's
