00:46:11 Courtney Cauthon: Hilary’s Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hilaryblairspeaks/ 00:50:49 Courtney Cauthon: Hello All. I’ll be personing the chat today. Feel free to put questions here — or share your voice in the room, we love that. 00:51:22 ICFLA Meeting Room: Thank you Courtney! 00:51:52 Courtney Cauthon: Our voices are truly who we are. Sharing our voice is more powerful than most of us are often aware of. 00:52:38 Courtney Cauthon: This is a buffet…take the things that work for you. 00:54:10 Pat Barone: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patbarone/ from Madison, WI. Hello! 00:54:13 Courtney Cauthon: Are you mostly inperson, virtual, phone? 00:54:17 Diane Walker: Phone 00:54:24 Pat Barone: ALL OF THE ABOVE 00:54:28 Laila Keith: virtual 00:54:44 Lori Heffelfinger: In person, Hybrid, Virtual - rarely phone except with friends 00:56:18 Courtney Cauthon: The microphone matters. 00:56:47 Courtney Cauthon: The microphone helps to capture the full range of the voice. 00:56:55 Courtney Cauthon: Bringing a round/fullness. 00:57:55 Courtney Cauthon: We want to be aware of the stories that we create and put on voices. 00:58:04 Virginia Clarke: Never knew these things about microphones! 00:58:36 Courtney Cauthon: Yes, even a pretty inexpensive mic like I’m using makes a difference. 00:59:35 Courtney Cauthon: Let’s work on ourselves first today — getting curious about our own voices. 01:01:12 Courtney Cauthon: We make little adjustments that are a big deal. And we are always working to readjust to moment. 01:03:18 Courtney Cauthon: How do we see others and allow others to see us? As coaches we tend to be pretty good at seeing others. Being present is really about also allowing folks to see us. This helps build a sense of relationship. 01:06:05 Courtney Cauthon: Virtually we want to be looking at the camera when we speak/want to connect. This can feel strange because we want to look at the boxes and see folks. 01:06:35 Kibi Anderson: I love the simplicity of the can I get you a cup of tea…practice because it’s a high quality signal. 01:06:48 Carolina_ICFLA: Reacted to "I love the simplicity of the can I get you a cup of tea…practice because it’s a high quality signal." with 👍 01:06:50 Courtney Cauthon: Reacted to "I love the simplicit..." with 👍 01:07:17 Lori Heffelfinger: I think I am very good at seeing others but not so good at being seen. 01:07:36 Courtney Cauthon: Yes, Lori. This is a real thing. I get that too. 01:07:46 Lori Heffelfinger: Reacted to "Yes, Lori. This is a real thing. I get that too." with ❤️ 01:08:40 Courtney Cauthon: Own the awkward. Rock your awkward. 01:08:45 Carolina_ICFLA: Reacted to "Own the awkward. Rock your awkward." with 🎉 01:10:45 Courtney Cauthon: vulnerablity and availably are different. How may be available to our clients? 01:11:29 Courtney Cauthon: We tend to send our heads into meetings and sessions. This happens literally — we jut our head out. 01:12:05 Courtney Cauthon: Resetting out nervous system with a shake to help us reconnect to our body and bring us to more alignment. 01:12:39 Courtney Cauthon: We jut our heads often to protect ourselves — to just send in our thoughts/ideas, rather than our whole selves. 01:13:26 Courtney Cauthon: The jutting of our heads impacts our voice. The tension it brings to our neck and shoulders changes the sound of our voices. 01:13:51 Courtney Cauthon: Jutting our head off tends to cut off the emotional element of our message. 01:14:37 Courtney Cauthon: In our coaching being aware of our alignment is importing for building that connection and allowing folks to see us — it’s a way of being available and present. 01:15:01 Carolina_ICFLA: Reacted to "In our coaching being aware of our alignment is importing for building that connection and allowing folks to see us — it’s a way of being available and present." with ❤️ 01:15:29 Courtney Cauthon: When we say take a breath — it tends to be a shallow breath. We suggest cuing with the Exhale. 01:15:41 Courtney Cauthon: Exhale. The air naturally comes back in. 01:16:10 Courtney Cauthon: We speak on the exhale. 01:16:43 Courtney Cauthon: We can invite folks to reset, by inviting the exhale. 01:17:03 Courtney Cauthon: We hold our breath more often than we are even aware. 01:17:26 Courtney Cauthon: What phrases do you use to think, get your breath going again. 01:17:32 Diane Walker: “That’s interesting “ 01:17:34 Lisa Gillette: “Take a breath, you got this” 01:17:52 Kibi Anderson: Hmmm… Smile…I’m curious. Let me receive this... 01:18:23 Courtney Cauthon: Let me receive this…that works for me Kibi. I may take that one to try. Thanks. 01:18:33 Carolina_ICFLA: Reacted to "Hmmm… Smile…I’m curious. Let me receive this..." with 👍 01:18:49 Courtney Cauthon: Reacted to "Hmmm… Smile…I’m curi..." with ❤️ 01:19:32 Kibi Anderson: Reacted to "Let me receive this…..." with 👍🏾 01:20:16 Courtney Cauthon: Exhale is intentional. Inhale is reflexive. 01:21:23 Courtney Cauthon: Thinking about our voice coming up, out, and over. Easy flow. 01:21:37 Laila Keith: LOL! 01:21:48 Courtney Cauthon: We tend to have a lot of tension in our voice and we push rather than letting it flow. 01:22:52 Courtney Cauthon: Start to notice when and where you voice is flowing and when you hold it, push it, are working hard to shape it. 01:24:27 Paul Plamondon: Everything resonates with me so far - and helps me refine how I use my voice with clients. 01:24:39 Courtney Cauthon: Reacted to "Everything resonates..." with 👍 01:27:34 Courtney Cauthon: People often say they are not confident or lose confidence. We suggest, we that we get uncomfortable. We don’t loss our confidence, we become uncomfortable. We want to work towards being more comfortably uncomfortable — rock our awkward. 01:28:09 Paul Plamondon: I love the reframe of confidence. 01:31:01 Courtney Cauthon: We have bass energy — the warmth in our voice. We have treble energy — this is the clarity of our voice. We want to thank about balancing our stereo. 01:32:05 Kibi Anderson: Is treble higher pitch and base lower pitch 01:32:18 Kibi Anderson: Do I have that right? 01:32:19 Courtney Cauthon: Yes. Thanks for that clarity. 01:33:27 Carolina_ICFLA: Thank you Nina! 01:33:52 Courtney Cauthon: Prosody is the music of our voice. 01:34:05 Courtney Cauthon: It’s the intonation, inflection, rhythm. 01:34:23 Courtney Cauthon: The more music you use in your voice the easier it is for folks to connect to us. 01:35:15 Courtney Cauthon: We tend to think monotone is “professional” — we see this in corporate a lot. Monotone is hard to understand, doesn’t build connection or trust as easy as using prosody. 01:35:41 Courtney Cauthon: I challenge you to start to notice the music of your voice. What’s your music? How can you play this music in multiple ways. 01:35:49 Lori Heffelfinger: Can you work with my husband? lol 01:36:00 Courtney Cauthon: Yes, send him our way. 🙂 01:36:03 Courtney Cauthon: Reacted to "Can you work with my..." with ❤️ 01:36:40 Courtney Cauthon: Here’s a playlist with several resources for you connected to our work on voice: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5DmfN5g62CseYGQX64wRDhuFwoYzDopU 01:37:47 Courtney Cauthon: Vocal fry — is the least air needed to make sound. It tends to land as less engaged. 01:38:08 Courtney Cauthon: We use all these habits, often to NOT overwhelm others. 01:38:16 Carolina_ICFLA: Reacted to "Here’s a playlist with several resources for you connected to our work on voice: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5DmfN5g62CseYGQX64wRDhuFwoYzDopU" with 👍 01:39:01 Courtney Cauthon: These habits are not ‘bad” they are tools we can use. And we want an awareness of them because they don’t always help us to connect. When we have an awareness of using them we can then be intentional. 01:39:40 Courtney Cauthon: Up Speak — lifting at the end, sounds like a question — not a question. 01:39:41 Laila Keith: will a deck or resource be shared with us? This is a lot of info to process. 01:40:14 Courtney Cauthon: Yes. Resources will be shared both here in the chat and after. 01:40:33 Laila Keith: Reacted to "Yes. Resources will ..." with 👍🏽 01:40:37 Courtney Cauthon: All these vocal habits can be found in the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5DmfN5g62CseYGQX64wRDhuFwoYzDopU 01:40:41 Carolina_ICFLA: Replying to "will a deck or resou..."

Consonants carry the intellectual content. 01:48:21 Courtney Cauthon: We want a blend of vowels and consonants. And be aware when we go to one or the others. 01:50:34 Courtney Cauthon: If you’d like to work with us. Please set up a call with our team. We have a special offer for a 3 pack of vocal coaching. https://articulaterc.as.me/schedule/1e0aa3d6/appointment/94241922/calendar/551865?appointmentTypeIds[]=94241922 01:50:45 Lori Heffelfinger: The lava lamp as I sit at my computer on Zoom 01:50:52 Jessica Powers: I like the idea of using the full voice to say less, and not using monotone filler 01:50:53 Kibi Anderson: Importance of breath in connection. I tend to talk fast so it forces me to remember am I trying to give information or trying to connect. 01:50:59 Laila Keith: talking about upspeak with my female clients and exploring the what and how? 01:51:12 Lisa Gillette: How vocal fry is really destructive both in the perceptions of others AND physical destruction of vocal cords 01:51:13 Janny Franken: The influence of tone when I say ‘oh’ or ‘so’ - without lots of words we have so much power. 01:51:36 Lori Heffelfinger: This was awesome!!! 01:51:40 Jamie Rennert: the meaning behind all the different voice tweaks 01:51:54 Kibi Anderson: Wonderful, wonderful and I just got a new mic so happy to test that out 01:52:13 Todd Alexander: Wow, so dynamic and awesome! Thank you both Hilary and Courtney! 01:52:25 Paul Plamondon: You did an AMAZING job of demonstrating the power of voice. 01:52:28 Courtney Cauthon: Thank you. 01:52:31 Virginia Clarke: Thank you so much!

Is there an end code for this session? Or is the start code enough to get the CCE credit? 02:02:28 Jessica Powers: Reacted to "I have to hop off fo..." with 👍🏼 02:02:44 Janny Franken: Reacted to "I have to hop off fo..." with 👍🏻 02:04:15 Lori Heffelfinger: Great Session! 02:04:24 Pat Barone: Thank you you are great Carolina!
