Are you worried about loss of sales, fewer career growth opportunities, decreased self-confidence or embarrassment - all because of your or your employees' communication skills? Are public speaking, a very strong foreign (non-American) or regional accent, coaching and delegating or other verbal skills a concern? According to a recent poll, these are all common areas of concern to employees and companies today.
It is vital to define your concern as much as possible. For example, you may have trouble with speech delivery, or speaking to a specific group of people. Maybe your accent is worse when you are upset, and people don't understand you then.
Are there certain words or terms that are hardest for you to say? If so, write them down and see if there is a pattern.

Persuasion and Your Voice
Do you want to become a more competent persuader? Your voice can help you do it.
Several techniques can help you. First, speak at a normal volume, but at the crucial point, speak slightly softer.
(This only helps if your listener has normal hearing or you are using a microphone!) It sounds to your listener like you are conveying a secret, and he will pay more attention.
Second, pause briefly right before the crucial point. This also helps focus the listener's attention.
Third, change your rate of speech at that point. Speak slower if the information is complicated for the listener to understand. Speak slightly faster if this is urgent, such as pleading with people to stay away from the area of an accident.
If your voice is normally mono-tonal, and lulls people to sleep, speak with more energy and enthusiasm. Be excited about what you are saying!
