The Meeting Where Nobody Heard You
You had the perfect solution. Clear, actionable, exactly what the team needed. You spoke up-and nothing. The conversation rolled past you like you hadn't said a word. Ten minutes later, someone else floats the same idea and suddenly it's brilliant. Sound familiar? This isn't about your competence or the quality of your thinking. It's about something far more fundamental: your voice. Not the physical sound that comes out of your mouth, but your natural communication style-the unique way you process information, share ideas, and connect with others. Most of us go through entire careers without understanding our authentic voice or recognizing why some people command attention effortlessly while others struggle to be heard. The 5 Voices framework changes that, offering a practical language that transforms how teams interact and how individuals show up in the world.
