    The Art of the Voice with Leslie Gordon

    Episode #157

    In this episode of The Creative Soulpreneur, host Nick sits down with Leslie Gordon, a dynamic public speaker, coach, and linguist. Leslie, who will soon be stepping into her new role as the president of the National Speakers Association's Atlanta chapter, shares her inspiring journey from a Barbie-loving child who dreamed of being a dancer to a seasoned linguist passionate about the power of language and communication. They dive into her fascinating work, which includes accent and voice training, and discuss the importance of reconnecting with one's authentic voice. Leslie shares valuable insights on maintaining curiosity and breaking away from the "shoulds" that often hinder personal growth and expression. Tune in to explore the transformative nature of language and discover how Leslie's story can inspire you to reclaim your own voice and follow what makes your heart truly happy.

    Key takeaways:

    Play as a Pathway: Rediscovering the child-like curiosity and playful experimentation can be a gateway to uncovering your authentic self and voice. Whether it's through imaginative play with Barbies as a child or experimenting with new sounds and languages, embracing play leads to creative discovery.

    The Power of Curiosity: Maintaining a mindset of curiosity rather than obligation (switching "should" to "could") opens up new possibilities. By asking ourselves what might happen instead of telling ourselves what to do, we access a more expansive and creative mindset.

    Aligning Voice and Purpose: Finding your voice isn't just about speech clarity—it's about aligning your physical, mental, and emotional self with your true purpose. Through coaching and reflection, understanding the motivations behind our inner narratives can unlock a more authentic and powerful way of communicating.
