Leadership Voice: How to Sound Calm in Uncertain Times with Cynthia Zhai
About this episode
Cynthia Zhai discusses how to maintain a calm voice during uncertain times.
“ I think one thing we mentioned just now, which is equanimity, that, of course, for them, they didn’t realize the word. It was also something, the word that I’ve learned over the pandemic, so I think that’s one thing where that equanimity, how you can stay grounded and centered, even if you are going through chaos, even if there is chaos in your head. So how you can stand grounded, and you can sound calm when you’re talking to people, and even also in the pandemic, a lot of times the leaders don’t know the answer either. So even if you don’t know the answer, even if you feel the future is uncertain, you can still come across as calm and certain with the people you’re leading.” – Cynthia Zhai This episode’s guest is a voice coach, Professional Speaker, and best-selling author.
