IMPACTFUL LEADERSHIP
PROFESSIONAL, PURPOSEFUL, AND POLITE COMMUNICATION
Many religions teach us that our voice is the key to manifestation and that speaking can bring to life our creative genius. In Shamanism, the world’s oldest religion, your words are literally magic. I had a fist-sized tumor that had to be removed from my head through surgery, and my clear and confident communication saved my life. I lovingly told myself to survive, knowing I was not “done” on this planet. I requested that my neurosurgeon play the music he loved in the operating room. I also asked that he and the medical team say only positive things while I was under sedation (a highly suggestive and vulnerable state), such as “Things are lookin’ good, Miluna; healing is happening.” And I was in constant dialogue with the Divine. Before the surgery, my face was paralyzed, my mouth drooped, and I slurred my words. After surgery, my voice returned, but it was stronger, because I had learned to advocate for myself.
