The Influential Voice: Saying What You Mean for Lasting Legacy Paperback – 27 April 2021

I was drawn to Tricia's teaching through her master classes and blogs, and then, she wrote a book! I started learning from her to understand the world of speaking on a TEDx or TED stage from a coaching perspective. I simply wanted to be the best coach I could be for the speakers I was helping.And then, as my own talk began to take shape in my mind and in my heart, I wanted to absorb more of what Tricia was teaching.This book is a masterpiece. Transformational speaking is the most powerful aspect of communication in a very noisy world. I love to give this book to my coaching clients now to inspire them and hlep them to see what can happen when they tap into their own unique stories.Time is precious, words from the stage matter and learning how to use your voice in the most influential way possible is a priceless gift.This book is a wise guide and mentor for anyone on the journey to the stage.

What I love about this book is Tricia's voice behind the words. When you start reading, you quickly realize this is not your average "how to". There's a warmth, compassion and true desire to help you figure out your message, the problem you want to to solve for your audience and discovering the real reason behind why you want to bring your message onstage. I really felt like Tricia was right next to me encouraging me and reminding me why my mission was so important, why my story was necessary to tell. She made me feel like my dreams were her dreams as well!The exercises in the book are a great addition!! They help you to put your thoughts down on paper to understand what you are really thinking or requires you to reflect on aspects of you, your mindset, beliefs, thought patterns, habits, blocks. As someone who practices mindfulness, self-reflection and self-awareness, I was still surprised with some of the answers I wrote down in response to the questions in the book. It made me pause and think about what I need to change to head in the direction of my dreams sooner than later.As a emerging speaker, this book is one you must read if you have any interest in becoming an influential speaker!

"What I have to say matters. My voice matters". In the last paragraph of Tricia Brouk's impressive book, she sums up the past seven chapters eloquently with this mantra she ask the reader to say out loud. Today and every day. Words so true and powerful, whether you are an aspiring speaker or someone who feels silenced, stifled or unheard. More than a textbook of practical techniques for inspired speaking, her book weaves in stories of her own journey as director, producer, writer and speaker as well of those she mentors and coaches to elevate their voices to being Influential Voices. She reminds us our stories are real, our ideas are important and our responsibility as humans is to speak loudly. It is a book that you will dog ear, highlight and return to time and again as you gain the confidence and skills to find and use your voice for good in the world. This book is a gift as Tricia holds nothing back, sharing all her training methods for speakers who seek out her mentorship and her own personal habits for high performance. Tricia's mission is to elevate others and give them a voice for lastly legacy and that is what she is doing by sharing her knowledge, skills and teachings in this wonderful book.

This book is amazing. It highlights how we need to look at ourselves and how we need to present ourselves to get our message out. It is profound and insightful, and it clearly comes from the heart of Tricia. I look forward to additional training with her.

The Influencial Voice is a must read for people who have ever even entertained the idea of speaking, for beginners, and for veterans alike. The unique and powerful perspective Tricia brings to this field is backed by her expert guidance in pulling back the curtain and starting from the places that matter in YOU. She sees you, she gives you permission, she validates what matters to you, and then shows the way using wisdom, humor, storytelling, and undeniably effective tools that will set you solidly on the path to voicing what you are meant to voice, even if it's just to yourself first.Tricia is a personal mentor of mine who has made every difference in my life and career, but I know without a doubt that someone who's never met her will feel her very personal touch with this read, and you'll join the ranks of all of us who can't imagine life without her work and what's more, what her work does for ours out in the world.
