Empowerment Through Voice The basic foundation is “voice is power.” When you own your voice, you own your power. Empowerment through voice consists in creating a persona, which starts with an exercise: * How do I believe I’m presently perceived? Followed by making a drawing * How I want to be known? Followed by making a drawing Change mastery in any discipline is only achieved when integrating mind, body and spirit. Athletes and artists use hubris all the time. What Arthur learned working with Angelina Jolie, Sean Connery and sports’ world champions Their extraordinary commitment to excellence: a champion does it differently. Joseph teaches them that everything in life costs something, and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to be  at world stage the highest level.
