One personal note on servant leadership is that you may not necessarily sound like a leader when your entire purpose is to serve others. Thankfully, this can be alleviated through what Dr. Laura Sicola (2014) calls vocal executive presence. Check out her video on what it is and how it can be done through a simple, yet effective strategy of simply saying your name correctly!

Personally, the biggest takeaway for me is the importance of sounding credible. As Dr. Sicola (2014) states in the video, when the delivery of your message does not align with the message itself, you don't sound confident or credible as a speaker. To me, confidence comes from the way you speak, and Dr. Sicola does an excellent job in her TEDx Talk outlining this.
