Your voice is a valuable asset. It gives you the ability to connect with others on a deep level and helps you communicate in a natural way. Yet we rarely develop our voice.

Step 1: Identify Your Personality
In order to develop your voice, you first need to understand your personality. In other words, how does your personality affect how you approach communicating?
In the early days of my career, I focused on improving my writing abilities. But even though I was good at most things, I found myself consistently struggling with getting people to listen to me.
I realized it wasn't my writing skills that were the issue. It was my personality. When I got nervous, I spoke too fast and sounded abrupt. And I often struggled to express myself clearly.
I had to shift my focus to identifying my personality traits. I didn't want to just try and be a writer. I wanted to be a writer with a strong personality.
To do this, I worked with a coach who helped me understand what my personality traits were. Then, we looked at the impact they were having in my communication and how I could improve it.
By the end of our sessions, I felt confident in my ability to express myself. Now, when I approach someone, I don't feel nervous. I know exactly how to communicate effectively.
Step 2: Understand Your Own Language Patterns
Once you understand your personality, you need to learn to adapt your language and communication styles. This is known as developing your voice style.
