Introducing

Up-Level Your Communication

Who could have ever predicted what a paralyzed face and a fist-sized tumor in the right side of my head would do for my life?  Who knew that it was, in fact, going to set me on a major detour?

I have been in love with the voice since I was a little girl swinging and singing in my backyard.

I could always sing, especially catchy little television commercials, one favorite being the Coca-Cola jingle “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.” I would sing all of the TV commercials and couldn’t wait for American Top 40 with that incredible, deep-voiced, perfect-for-radio-host Casey Kasem.

So, what do I mean by Up-Leveling?

​

• undertaking ownership of what you say and how you say it by using words that have meaning and purpose

​

• feeling joy in the fact that we have the ability to truly lead people and change people by using beautiful language

​

• building the necessary self-awareness and emotional intelligence (EQ) to move beyond broken relationships, transactional business, and a lack of humanity

How will you move forward as a CEO, as an executive, as a business owner? Do you understand that your words, intent, and delivery matter? It’s important to know that there are people from all over the world who speak different languages and learn in ways different from us. Some people have been injured and gone through trauma. Know that your voice and the way you speak makes a difference.

​

My purpose in writing this book is to help leaders speak in a voice that is clear, courteous, conscious, courageous and ‘clusive – meaning inclusive and get a clue!  My experience and training include a B.S. in Music Business, an HHCP – Holistic Health Counselor Practitioner certification and Ph.D. in Holistic Psychology as well as private training in singing, acting, improvisation, and energy healing. I performed with my jazz pianist Chris, sang in operas, and acted in theatre, television, and film, also writing two one woman cabaret shows.

I believe the world has a deep need for true leaders who are mature and move beyond their ego to get the heart of the matter. The CEOs we will listen to in the future will be those who lead by example with emotional intelligence, character, and humor.
