In this final episode of the season, I’m reflecting on a big year and inviting you to do the same.

Transcript
Hello and welcome to the very last episode of That Voiceprint Podcast, for the season. Don't worry, we are coming back. I went to count how many episodes it's been since the break and my head started hurting. It's been many, many months of the podcast every single week and we're taking a little bit of a reset after this one. This episode is a chance to think about Voice Goals.
Voice goals for 2026, reflect on your celebrations, look forward to the next year. And wow, I have had quite a big year. It was the year of the three B's for me:
Write a Book, renovate my Bathroom and celebrate my 40th Birthday! And I'm quite proud actually.
Wow, I got the book written including the Oracle cards. If you have not got your copy of Voiceprint, please go and grab yourself a copy, get the Voiceprint Oracle cards. I'm loving the feedback coming through. Make sure you do leave a review if you have read the book.
Book, bathroom, birthday. And next year, it's looking like I'm going down the alphabet! I've so far got the four C's. I've gone from the three B's to the four C's and the first C for next year is the Camino de Santiago.
So Patrick and I are walking the Camino de Santiago, Camino del Norte. So it's the northern route, it's the pilgrimage. We are doing about 20 kilometers of walking each day. We are starting from Irun, we're catching a train down to Irun from Biarritz. So we're flying into Biarritz, starting in Irun the walk, and then over 33 days across the north of Spain and we will end up in Compostela de Santiago.
So that's happening in September. It's very exciting and I've started my walking training. It's going very slowly. Oh my goodness. In February, we're walking Tongariro in New Zealand, which is one of the world's most famous day walks over the top of the volcano there. So it's a pretty challenging walk and we're doing that as a little bit of a warmup and then we'll be continuing our training. So that's the first C, Camino de Santiago.
The second C is Carpet because when they renovated our bathroom, they've ruined all the flooring around the bathroom. So we've been living with this sort of half torn-up floorboards and the carpet is just smattered with plaster cement or I dunno what it's called, but it's heavy setting into the carpet. So it's been okay, but it's not a long-term solution. So would love to get the flooring redone and do a bit of a bedroom renovation.
So C for carpet. The third C is there's some exciting collaborations planned for me for next year. So if you are with an organization you'd like to reach out for a collaboration. Collaborations is one of my C words for the year, and the other big C word is coaching. Now I've always done coaching. It's why I'm here speaking to you on this podcast. It's what gets me outta bed every morning. The reason I pulled this out is because with the book out, I do have more time. I had to set aside time this year to make sure I could write the book, edit the book it, you know, it was a big project that took some time going into next year that has opened up.
So coaching 2026 is a great time for you to hit your voice goals. Now, I shared this prediction at the launch and I stand by this.
The future belongs to the heart-centered confident communicator. With AI coming at us like a freight train, never before has it been more important to have that human to human connection, that voice to voice connection. In communication, you want your voice to be able to rise to the emotion of the moment. If you are not leaving a strong voiceprint, if you haven't got mastery over your instrument, the reality is, a robot or a computer will come in and present more effectively than you and you do not wanna be in this position.
There'll come a time where the only humans they will need to speak are the ones that can really speak and connect. Sounds a little bit doomsday, but this is the time for us to rise. If you are listening to this podcast, it means that you know this.
In Voiceprint, I compare it to robbery.
Speaking is not a robbery you want to get away with. You don't be walking into rooms like you've got those gloves on, flying under the radar, only speaking if you really have to. And then once you leave, nobody remembers what you said. Nobody remembers who you are.
You want to go into rooms in 2026 and get your gorgeous grubby, imperfectly, perfect voiceprints over every room. Those are the voices that are going to be having influence. Your voiceprint is your access all areas pass, if it's strong.
Okay, so this episode I'd like to share some speaking goals which you might resonate with, and I'll also share how I might be able to help with those.
So if you have never worked with me before, you've listened to the podcast but never been in any of my programs, then book a New client one-to-one, a 60-minute one-to-one, it's AUD 550 and we have the hour, we have the session in that time might be all you need or we can work out what the best program is to go into.
And the good thing is, is that entire investment can be used towards whatever program you go into. Really amazing, amazing value. So, new clients book in for a 60-minute one-on-one.
Now the second speaking #voicegoal is, you know, gaining speaking confidence and skills will grow your business and will advance your career in 2026. If this is you, then join Soul Speakers. This is my online group program. Soul Speakers, you can join for 6 months or 12 months at a time. And by the end of that period, you will be speaking with confidence. It's about making connections, gaining confidence, and learning the craft.
Now if you have a speaking event coming up next year, it could be a conference speech, you could be on a panel, you might need to pitch for something, have a board presentation. So if you have that event coming up and you know that you need support with the content, the delivery, and the mindset because how these presentations go often dictate the next opportunities coming in. So if this is you, then work with me one-on-one.
I've got a package called Be Event Ready. And as it sounds, we get ready for your event. Now maybe you have a story that you know needs to be shared. I hear almost every day I've got an amazing story and I really wanna share it on stage because I know it can help people. If this is you, you know you have a story, you know it needs to be shared, but you're struggling to clarify the message, not sure how to articulate it in a speech, and then how to get it on stage.
Work with me one-on-one. My package is called Story to Speech. As it sounds. We start with your story and you walk out with a speech.
Now, maybe next year you are ready to do all the things you want a clear Personalized audibility plan because it's not enough to just be visible.
You need to also be audible. This is our voiceprint. You want to amplify your impact across a range of platforms. Could be socials, could be podcasts, could be events, could be media interviews, and you need help to write your keynote, prepare for all your events, have me on call for when you need, your speaking confidant. Then Soul Speakers Advanced is for you. This is my 12-month program, I'm on retainer and you can do all the things!
So if you have events coming up and you wanna write your keynote and you also wanna learn how to be more confident because this program also includes the Soul Speakers coaching calls. So if you wanna do all the things, it's by far the best value. It is application only to make sure I've got the right people in the group. So reach out.
At the time of recording this, for 2026, I've got just a couple more spots for that one.
Now, if you want to promote your business in a way that feels authentic and aligned and you know your voice is the key to doing that, I would would recommend joining Soul Speakers. I would also recommend coming along to a Speak Up for Your Business workshop. These are my small, intimate, very transformational workshops.
For 2026, I've got the dates for Sydney and Melbourne already locked in and I will also be doing another one in Brisbane. So that's everything I've got for individuals.
Now if you want your team to become better communicators, you might be a leader, you might be privy to the leader, then I'd love to come in and do a workshop.
So my popular workshop topics are Storytelling for influence, Speak with confidence, Lead with your voice, specifically for leaders, Present with purpose. That's really great for subject matter experts who might speak on a more technical kind of topic, but they're looking to make it compelling. And then of course, Media training as well for your company spokespeople.
I also run bespoke programs for organizations. So if you're looking to run like a confident communicators program or you've got empowering women or you've got a particular program, then I can slot into that. I can also devise a bespoke program for your organization.
And of course if you're looking for an event speaker, one that gets the audience up using their beautiful voices and really wanna share this message of the power of your voice, then I will be out and about speaking next year as well.
So reach out, let's have a chat! Let's make 2026 the year your voiceprint makes an impression. Let's make 2026 the year. You're not just listening to communication podcasts, but you're taking action because it's the action that actually creates the change.
And we have a lot of fun along the way. Anyone who's worked with me will vouch for that. Thank you so much for all your support with the podcast this year. I am taking a few weeks off. As I mentioned, I'm off to Samoa with my mum for Christmas. So mum's a Qantas flight attendant and she has a trip over to Samoa over Christmas.
So I will be going along to have Christmas in the sun, enjoy some beautiful saltwater, and bit of relaxing time, really just getting some spaciousness in. For New Year's, I'll be heading up to Tandem Sands where my older sister lives, Shona, you might have met her at the book launch. So we're having New Year's up there and then I'll be back into it.
Whatever you are doing, take that time to listen to your inner voice, to recalibrate, to rest and reevaluate. Listen to more of my voice. If you need to catch up on any episodes and make sure you use your own beautiful voice this time of year, you might be in situations where you're seeing people you don't see a lot of during the year, you might need to be practicing that important two-letter word. No. No, thank you. My niece Hannah, you might have met her at the book launch as well.
Well, she was the one that put up her hand and said, Ah, who's your favorite niece? Oh my goodness. Anyway, she's got this shirt that says, I won't be doing any of that, but thank you. I just think it's brilliant learning boundaries, nice and young. I won't be doing any of that, but thank you.
And thank you again. What an incredible year for That Voice Podcast. Take care of yourself. Take care of your soul. Take care of your voice, and I'll be back on the podcast airwaves in a few weeks!
