5 Voices of Leadership
The Problem is…
We lead accidentally. We lead based on our own bias, experience, and perspective. Most people don’t know their leadership voice or how to use it.
- Most teams function at less than 60% of their true potential.
- 82% of team members tend to feel misunderstood or undervalued.
Some don’t know their own Voice. Others are insecure in their Voice and have been told it is unimportant. And others immaturely overuse their voice and dominate the airwaves.
The Solution? Welcome to the 5 Voices
The 5 Voices are designed to help every individual discover their leadership voice and be empowered to use it effectively.
When people don’t use their natural leadership voice, here’s what happens:
- Meetings seem to go nowhere
- Wasted time, money, and resources
- Misaligned teams that are ineffective or unhealthy
- Toxic work environment filled with drama and gossip
- People in the wrong role or position
- Disagreements that divide instead of unite

Diverse leadership creates an objective language, which allows every voice to be heard, valued and appreciated.
Imagine a team of people who…
- were self-aware
- saw the potential of every team member
- knew how to communicate
- were able to bring their best to the table every day
What would that do for culture? For productivity? For profitability?
We believe teams and whole organizations can be transformed when everyone:
- operates securely in their own voice
- learns to value the voices of others

The 5 Voices Modules

Note: This program starts with having every individual take the 5 Voices Assessment. This assessment will help everyone identify their foundational leadership voice as well as their entire voice order.
Module 1: On-boarding to 5 Voices
5 Voices Team Dynamics: This workshop will set the stage for helping you understand all of the different Voices on the team and how they interact.
Module 2: Understand Each Voice Order
Learn the behaviors and value of each of the 5 Voices and identify the natural Voice you use.
Module 3: Unlock the Full Potential of Each Voice
Celebrate the contribution your Voice brings and learn the negative impact your Voice can have on others.
Module 4: Liberating Others
Get the best from each person in your team by learning to leverage and trust the strengths of their Voice.
Module 5: Grow Influence with Others

Delivering the 5 Voices
Ready to help your team reach its full potential and transform team communication? Here are a few ways to bring 5 Voices to your team:
Live Facilitation of 5 Voices
Choose one module or all five, delivered live to your team. These modules can be delivered in a one-time retreat or in multiple sessions. Modules are available in-person, online or hybrid.
+ Add-on Team Coaching
While your team is working through each of the 5 Voices (one module per month), host a second session for team coaching and reflection (team of 6-10). With this 6-month program, we will conclude with a final wrap-up, celebration, and action planning session in month 6.
+ Add-on Individual Coaching
Walk through the workshops and a customized coaching program in a one-on-one setting, or add individual coaching to a team workshop experience to deepen the individual impact of your key leaders. Like the team experience, this 6-month program will conclude with a final wrap-up, celebration, and action planning session in month 6.
5 Voices Keynote
We can deliver one of the 5 Voices workshops in a keynote setting. We recommend providing attendees with a copy of the 5 Voices book or access to our virtual leadership platform to continue their learning beyond the keynote.
