A podcast about a more human way of communicating. One that skips the superficial and instead is grounded in work that matters. It’s in stark contrast to the default mode of the selfish communicators who care more for themselves than anything. What if you could skip the fluff and tell your story in a a way that just nails it and yet is totally true to who you are? What if instead of having to persuade an audience they would be dying to know more? What if you could speak with such clarity that you light the path for your audience, your team, or your customers? That’s what great leaders do. They light the path and create messages that resonate so strongly that it incites action and creates movements. This podcast is for you if you’re done with selfish leadership that believes that communication is mostly about themselves. If you’re looking for a way to tell your story in a way that totally nails it, yet feels 100% true to yourself, you’ve come to the right place. Join me for two minutes, twice a week and create messages that resonate so strongly that it leads to change.
