Choosing How You Want To Be Known
Sep 18, 2024Creating a legacy isn't just about the big achievements; it's about the mark you leave on the world and how you're remembered. Over six decades of teaching, I've had the privilege of knowing countless remarkable individuals, each with their unique Vision of a legacy.
The Journey to creating a legacy begins with understanding Who We Are, which is why I developed the technique of crafting a Persona Statement, to always embody who you want to be and never present for approval. The Personal Statement is a Vocal Awareness technique that helps us choose how we want to be known, first to our Selve and, by extension, to everyone else.
Throughout my teaching career, I've seen how understanding and articulating one's vision can transform lives. A legacy is not just built through grand gestures but through everyday actions and choices that reflect our true Selves.
Years ago, I realized that many people struggle with presenting their true Selves. This led me to develop the Persona Statement, a Vocal Awareness technique, a tool designed to help individuals articulate and embody their Selves. A Persona Statement is a declaration of how we want to be known, serving as a guiding star for personal and professional growth.
Teaching has given me countless stories of inspiration and I am here to share this empowering story with you.
A couple of years ago, I was working with a group of really dedicated young teenagers, ranging in age from 16 to 19. They were eager to learn and grow, each bringing their unique perspective to the table. Their enthusiasm and commitment were truly remarkable.
Among this group was an extraordinary young lady who crafted her idealized Persona Statement. She was insightful, driven, and deeply reflective. Her statement was not just a declaration but a representation of what Vocal Awareness meant to her.
Her story is a reminder that no matter what you think is holding you back, you can always make the decision to Step Into YOUR Power.
This will lead you to embrace your True Self and act with confidence. The way we communicate is what compels others to hear what we have to say. You are studying this Work because you have made a definitive decision that it is time to Claim Your Power.
Vocal Awareness creates the opportunity to become your very best.
Living according to your Persona Statement requires commitment and consistency. It means making choices that align with your declared identity and being mindful of Who You Are. While challenges will arise, staying true to your Persona will help you navigate them with confidence.
Enhancing Vocal Awareness will significantly impact your personal and professional development.
