Vocal Intelligence

This is the first of our pod casts, an interview with Dr Louise Mahler from the Art of Business. Louise is Australia's premier voice coach, and has created a unique approach to developing personal capability.

Louise believes that there is a driving need in organizations to address the issues of bringing who you are to what you do at an authentic level. Louise offers a unique approach to exploring each person's contribution to the organisation through mind, body and voice coherence,which she calls Vocal Intelligence.

Find out more by listening to the files below. Each file is about three minutes long. Your media player should automatically open and play the file. There are seven files. They may be listened to in sequence, or you may like to skip across some.

Dr Mahler is best described as a translator between the creative world of the performance arts and business as a way to facilitate personal and organizational transformation. She believes that, through the voice, body and mind connection, there are pathways to knowledge, from the individual in leadership, presentation or customer service, to group activities in teambuilding and the opera of organization as a whole.
