multilevelness

What goes into making your voice sound good, and what does the nervous system have to do with it? Voice coach and author Laura Stavinoha talks about the challenge of transmuting overexcitability into talent, a process she learned first from experience.  Laura and Jessie discuss what really makes an effective speaker and how to overcome some challenges facing intense people who want to use their voices more skillfully.

Overexcitability is often the concept that draws people to the theory of positive disintegration—and that's a shame, because if you get stuck there, you'll miss what the theory is really saying.  In this pilot episode, Third Factor's founder and editor in chief draws on Kazimierz Dabrowski's original writings to explain what overexcitability is and why, though it often is a bad thing, it doesn't necessarily have to be.  Spoiler alert: it's all about this thing called multilevelness, which Jessie explains to set the trajectory for this new podcast.
