Topic: The Brain-Voice™ Connection...Becoming
More Effective Speakers and Interviewees
Presenter: Anna Bernstein
Location: Community Center,
Mercer Island, WA (For directions, click here)
Anna Bernstein, former New York singing
coach and a speaking coach since 1997, will share numerous
ideas on how we
and our clients can become more effective speakers and
interviewees. While working in New York City, Anna realized
she could adapt her singing techniques to the speaking
voice and combine those techniques with research on how
the brain influences the voice and our language choices.
Anna will teach us how to breathe using
a special technique for inhaling. This inhalation supports
your voice and creates
a resonant sound that carries your communications with
confidence.
Anna also will address issues that will
help both career coaches and their clients, including:
1. The Brain-Voice Connection™: understanding how your
brain controls everything your voice does and trusting your
brain to provide what you need, whether it's pitch, volume,
intonation or projection;
2. The Three Ones™: one breath, one topic, one sentence.
This helps focus people to speak clearly about one thing
at a time and then pause to allow the listener to take it
in (this will be especially helpful for interviewees);
3. Speaking from the listener's perspective: instead of worrying
about how we sound, it's essential to understand how we are
heard. The brain of the listener is wired a specific way
to hear us. Anna will demonstrate how to use this knowledge
to make yourself heard and help the listener focus on your
message;
4. Concepts that are relevant to interviewing will be covered
and will ensure the audience understands how to apply them
to job interviews. Participants will also learn how to coach
their clients on these techniques.
Anna can be contacted at anna@speakingmatters.net, 206-216-4650.

This meeting
will be followed by an interactive discussion regarding
the
concepts presented by Anna.
