Episode Notes

Consider a leader who consistently commands attention in meetings—someone whose presence inspires action, fosters connection, and drives results. What sets these individuals apart and ensures their voices are heard and respected? While nonverbal cues such as posture and eye contact play a role, research consistently shows that vocal delivery significantly shapes how we are perceived.

In short, how we say something is just as impactful as what we say.

Jimmy Cannon is an executive coach whose belief is simple: whether you're speaking or singing, your voice is your most powerful tool. Over the past decade, Jimmy has helped individuals at all levels— from first-time speakers to X Factor auditionees and CEOs—develop vocal strength, confidence, and presence. Whether it's expanding range, enhancing projection, or overcoming anxiety, the journey is always transformative and empowering.

Jimmy joins Rich and Maikel on the episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT to discuss the importance of vocal presence as a leader.
