"Your brand is a gateway to your true work. You know you are here to do something - to create something or help others in some way. The question is, how can you set up your life and work so that you can do it?
The answer lies in your brand. When you create a compelling brand you attract people who want the promise of your brand - which you deliver."Dave Buck

Language and vocal tone
The brain is an incredible organ. It starts working the moment you’re born, and only stops working when you get up to give a presentation
Nonverbal Communication
“What you do speaks so loud, I can not hear what
you say”- Ralph Waldo Emerson

3 V’s of Communication
Visual: What’s Seen
Vocal: What’s Heard
Verbal: What’s Said
VVV
• Tone, quality, pitch, resonance, volume
• Variation within pitch & volume
• Vocal patterns, accent
• Gestures• Facial expressions• Posture, movement
• Organization, vocabulary, grammar
Communication Stats
Non verbal signals have 5 X’s as much impact as verbals
60 – 80% of initial opinion made in less than 4 minutes
Body language counts 60-80% in negotiations
It takes 2-7 seconds to make first impression
it can take up to 12 visits to undo a negative first impression
The Triune Brain
First Brain – the instinctual brain stem.
Second Brain- emotions and feelings
Third Brain – where conscious thought takes place.
