The Echo Test: How to Tell If Your Voice Actually Lands

Many of us speak and then wonder if anyone actually heard us. In this five-minute episode Maya teaches "The Echo Test"—a simple, three-signal method for quickly reading whether your words landed and what to do next. Drawing on a brief client story about speaking louder without changing outcomes, Maya breaks the test into three observable echoes: immediate response (verbal cues), reflective signals (follow-up or action), and relational tone (body language and energy). You get two practical on-the-spot scripting tactics to clarify or invite next steps, plus a one-question calibration to use after any conversation. The episode closes with a concrete challenge to try today and a memorable mic-drop line to anchor the lesson. Ideal for leaders, teammates, and anyone tired of feeling unheard, this episode helps you stop guessing and start noticing so your voice creates the impact you intend.
