    The Exercises
    1
    When you speak, your voice is the primary link between you and your listeners. Every time you
    address a colleague, friend, significant other or an audience your mind, body, and voice all
    play an important role with your listeners. The greatest tool you have as a speaker is having a
    strong and dynamic presentation.

    2
    Talk to someone special about what you want, need and feel. Use ‘I’ statements like “I need
    this”, “I want this” and “I feel this.” Expressing personal feelings and emotions are the most
    difficult. For communication to be powerful it has to be personal and meaningful to you.

    3
    Take singing lessons not just to improve your singing, but to help you find your voice. Singing
    and taking powerful acting exercises will help you discover what is it that you have to say.
    What is your unique message to the world?

    4
    Be aware of your body language. When you speak, look into the other person’s eyes, letting
    them know you care. Keep checking your body language. Your body should be conveying the
    same message as your words in order to be effective. Notice your breath. Take five breaths and
    follow each inhale and exhale. Shift your awareness from your breath to your body and begin
    to scan through the body slowly from head to toe, observing any tension, feelings or emotions
    that may be present.

    5
    "Listen with your blood." Active listening is the most important factor in having a constructive
    dialogue in business and life. It's not what you think they said, but what they meant. Try
    understanding and connecting with other people’s intentions, feelings, needs and wants. This
    is called empathy.

    6
    Talk to 3 new people every day. You must be willing to leave your comfort zone for this
    practice to be effective. Pushing yourself to speak under pressure will improve your ability to
    speak in any given situation.

    7
    Go into a very busy restaurant or other exclusive places where they require a reservation, or an
    appointment for service. Once they tell you that they cannot accommodate you right at that
    moment, use your charm, humor and well-chosen words to convince them into giving you what
    you requested. This will only work if you do this with love and humility. You will discover that if
    you put your intention into getting something, you can achieve it. I know that great words and
    the right energy can change any situation.

    8
    Record yourself reading poetry or text and play it back. Find your diction, articulation and your
    vocal power. This is finding the tone, the pitch and specific sound that is pleasing to the ear.
    This is what makes people want to listen to you. Sometimes voices are too nasal or too squeaky
    and very hard on the ear making them not appealing nor do we want to listen to. The sound
    you make when you speak is the most crucial factor when communicating.

    9
    Find a rousing or powerful piece of text that you emotionally connect with, which also has
    deep meaning for you. Read it out aloud every day with energy and power. For example, the "I
    have a dream” speech by the legendary civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, is a passionate,
    emotional and inspiring speech.

    I Have a Dream
    (an excerpt from Martin Luther King's speech).

    I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of
    its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created
    equal”...I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation
    where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their
    character.

    I have a dream today...


    I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain
    shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places
    will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall
    see it together.

    With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle
    together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we
    will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to
    sing with new meaning, “My country ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I
    sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrims’ pride, from every
    mountainside, let freedom ring.”
