A Free Voice Diagnostic for Senior Leaders
The Voice Diagnostic
Eighteen questions. Six dimensions. One honest reading of how your leadership voice is performing right now.
Begin →About four minutes
Most leadership development stops at IQ and EQ – what you know and how you connect. The Voice Diagnostic measures the third dimension: VQ. Your Voice Quotient. The capacity to take what you know and feel and turn it into something that actually moves a room.
Six dimensions, scored across the full path a message takes from the moment you notice something to the moment it lands: Signal, Clarity, Authenticity, Conviction, Presence, Impact. Where your voice is strong. Where it is quiet. And one specific thing to practise this week.
About four minutes. No score is "bad". Every result tells you something true.
"This is where you are right now. Not a verdict. A starting point. The work is in what you do with it."

About the Voice Diagnostic
The Voice Diagnostic is the central instrument in PowerVox's diagnostic architecture. It measures Voice Quotient (VQ) – the third dimension of leadership development that sits alongside IQ (what you know) and EQ (how you connect). VQ is the capacity to take what you know and feel and turn it into communication that actually creates movement.
The six dimensions
Signal
What you notice before you open your mouth.
Clarity
The message that arrives in the room.
Authenticity
The gap between what you think and what you say.
Conviction
Staying true to what you judge to be right, under cost.
Presence
Whether the room feels you, not just hears you.
Impact
Whether anything actually moves.
What you get back
An overall VQ Level (1–5), a dimension-by-dimension reading visualised on a six-vertex radar chart, your strongest dimension, your development dimension, and one specific practice to try this week – all on screen, the moment you finish.
Who it is for
Senior leaders – directors, VPs, founders, executive team members – who already know they are good at what they do and suspect there is more available in how they communicate it. Open to leaders of any gender. Especially useful for leaders entering or progressing through PowerVox programmes.
Where this sits in PowerVox
The Voice Diagnostic is the public version of the full programme-grade VQ Assessment used inside The VQ Programme and The Greenhouse. The lighter, reflective entry point is The Voice Mirror. The written-message diagnostic is The Black Egg. Together they form the PowerVox diagnostic architecture – three instruments, one shared framework: the Voice Ladder.
