Your voice.
It's your calling card. It's unique to YOU. It's how most of us communicate personally and professionally.
Have you thought about what would happen if it suddenly didn't work, didn't sound the same or gave out midway through your day?
For me..it would mean a drastic change in how I did my work as a speech language pathologist. In many ways, I wouldn't be able to do my work. Sure there are other ways to communicate BUT would they be easily implemented and would you be able to use those methods AND sustain your career?
Think about it.
Now, what if I told you that taking care of your voice can seemlessly fit into your day and that simply taking some quite time each day {something we should each be doing anyway}is part of the program? Interested? You should be, because taking care of your voice needs to be the number one priority for anyone who uses their voice in their work.
Your first step in a vocal hygiene program is to...
- Spend at least two 30 minutes blocks EACH day being quiet. No talking and no using your voice in any way {no throat clearing, no coughing, no singing, no humming, no whispering...you get the idea}.
- Second~Tune in to Jennifer's BlogTalk Radio show on Tuesday, Janauray 29th at 10:00am to find out more.
Take care of those voices!
As always thanks for reading and be sure to keep Saying it with Style!
