PODCAST THROWBACK... "Our Voice Needs to Work For Us..."
.
.
Shouting out the amazing team at @fitnesscareermastery for having me on their fabulous podcast a few years ago. I LOVE the professionalism, innovation, & PASSION of Shay and Barry, & was so grateful for the time we shared. It was an incredible opportunity to chat about vocal health, VOICE, & fitness!

As fitness instructors, it is OUR JOB to INSPIRE, to MOTIVATE, to ENCOURAGE, & to GUIDE people to do things they wouldn’t normally be able to do on their own. To help them push just a little harder, to convince them that they can KEEP GOING versus give up, and to foster a beautiful support system that gives them the permission to BELIEVE without letting the doubt creep in. It is our JOB to coordinate MOVEMENT with MUSIC and to provide people the ESCAPE from the “real world” that they are often longing for & cannot always put into words. It is our job to help others LET GO of what’s holding them back, & push forward to what is POSSIBLE. To help them set goals, surpass goals, & create new ones. To encourage them to keep STRIVING—onward, upward, & forward. To allow them to FEEL something within a COMMUNITY of people who are also experiencing that beautiful “high” from fitness, mindset, & music. AND to have FUN while doing it! MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE. I am so grateful for the job I have to CONNECT with others in this way.

It is our VOICE that is the vehicle of this incredibly important multifaceted MESSAGE; it is our VOICE that carries our MISSION from within us—to within another. The VOICE is able to truly reach out & TOUCH SOMEONE without physically touching them at all; this further bridges connection. Our VOICE plays an epic role in ensuring the class is monumental versus “just okay”. Our voice NEEDS to work for us. Our voice should be reliable, functional, supported, clear, & impactful. It should be a huge factor in the MAGIC of how we CONNECT with others. If VOICE is not a priority (vocal health, vocal efficiency in & out of the studio, and vocal dynamics while teaching), it’s very possible that the instructor/client connection will suffer AND the client experience will not be half of what it could be. In addition, if VOICE is not a priority, it may not “work” as we demand that it should. As a fitpro, PRIORITIZING YOUR VOICE is one of the BEST things you can do for your career. Start now. Start today. And let me know if you have any questions!!
