"Long ago I discovered that taking the often perilous journey required to fulfill a life vision demands tremendous focus and a carefully organized structure. The Vocal Awareness^® method recognizes the voice as a metaphor. Its copyrighted techniques integrate the mind/body/spirit into a conscious system that gives one the necessary tools and the compass to take life’s journey as effectively as possible. The goal of the Work, in a word, is Sovereignty—supreme excellence or an example of it."
