Blab With Terry Wildemann & Ariana Lise Newcomer
I’m excited to share my recent Blab interview with Terry Wildemann creator of the Attractionpreneur™ Business Show.
Your usual voice is NOT your whole, authentic voice – the voice of your soul. It’s only part of it.
If your soul has a big purpose, you need your whole voice to express it. Your habits of speech are unconsciously preventing you from truly communicating.

Tonality And Making Your Offer
I find that many coaches, speakers and entrepreneurs, when they deliver presentations from the stage, on webinars, or during 1:1 sales conversations, totally shift the tone of their voice when it comes to asking for the sale!
Here’s an excerpt from a free video training I created last summer in the lead up to my first Voice Your Value™: How To Charge What You’re Worth and Get It! group program.
In this free video, I share a highly effective technique at about the 2:21 mark that helps you dramatically shift how you’re using your voice in sales conversations and presentations.
