This week, I'm going to be talking about finding your writing voice. This is something that's deeply fascinated me as a professional writer for over 20 years, how does that voice change as we progress and grow as humans? Also, how the skills that we need and the way we need to express ourselves change as our own businesses or the work that we do changes too.That's certainly been the case for me. 

So what is a writing voice? It's what keeps readers coming back. It's what makes you stand out from other writers, whether you are doing it for yourself or you are using it to share your words and wisdom with the world. 

Here are the highlights:

(01:29) Blogging is a brilliant way of getting your unique voice out in the world

(02:15) Your writing voice really is what connects you to readers

(03:46) How do you grab people's attention with your voice and what you are writing? 

(06:24) Who are you writing for?

(07:35) I really love sharing my words

(09:31) What transformation do I want my readers to experience?

(10:13) Don't stay in your comfort zone
