Back to Zero Weekly: Soft Tone Strong Presence
May 29, 2025
Welcome to Back to Zero Weekly: Big Emotions, Simple Strategies
Each week, get one quick, actionable strategy to help you manage emotions, build self-awareness, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, creating greater space for joy.
Soft Tone Strong Presence
Our tone of voice can either ease tension or escalate it—especially in emotionally charged moments. Lowering your voice helps lower the energy in the room. When you speak slower and softer, you invite calm instead of adding fuel to the fire.
Strategy for the Week: During a conversation, intentionally slow your speech and lower your voice when you notice emotions rising. Watch how it influences not only you, but also the person you're speaking with. Calm is contagious.
