What's your business, and who are your customers?
As a voice, singing, acting, and dialect coach, I’ve been coaching and studying the human voice for over 35 years. I’m also a professional singer-songwriter, actor, speaker, and writer, and I’ve been on a deep spiritual journey for most of my life. Now I’m a certified life coach and certified meditation teacher, and I hold a master’s in speech pathology/voice therapy.
As creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders, we all have something to say, and we feel that as our passion or desire to express ourselves. The problem is we judge what we hear or say. We get discouraged and step away from really finding and developing our voice. We don’t trust our physical voice or our creative voice.
It is my mission to help and empower creative professionals, leaders, messengers, and organizations to find their own authentic voice and Raise Their Impact, so they can powerfully and courageously share their message and talents and change their life and the world around them.
Tell us about yourself
I started coaching and teaching when I was 16 years old. I began as a guitar teacher and then started singing and teaching professionally. I didn’t start out as a good singer, but I loved to sing, and I was determined to learn everything I could.
Now I love how the human voice can move, teach, motivate, and inspire us. I help all kinds of people build and develop their voices and empower their ability to make an impact. It’s a body, mind, and spirit-integrated approach that brings lasting change because we aren’t just a body. Our thoughts, our hearts, our emotions, our gifts, and our talents all come together to be a total expression of our unique spirit.
What I know is that freeing our voice leads to freedom of self-expression. The voice becomes the window to the soul. Your voice matters because your soul matters.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I’ve had the opportunity to work with Academy Award-winning actors, television hosts, world-class business executives, and people from all walks of life. It’s truly wonderful to see the life transformation my clients continue to experience. And I’m grateful every day for the opportunities I have to share my own gifts and talents.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Trying to integrate my creativity and my business together without sacrificing either.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Invest any money you can spare into hiring someone to help you with your marketing.
- Keep your dream and your passion alive.
- Don’t sweat the small stuck; it’s all small stuff.
