Co-Host Dr. Laura Sicola (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sicola) VIDEO VERSION: https://mountaintoppodcast.com/youtube My returning guest is Dr. Laura Sicola, TEDx speaker and author of Speaking To Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice. The last time she was on, we meant to talk about how to master your leadership voice, but instead ended up talking about how your name matters in dating and attraction. So as promised, she's back to cover what we had originally planned. What's the first step to using your voice to get ahead in your career, and indeed in life? Find out about what Laura calls "the linguistic glass ceiling" and how to blast through it. What are the special communication skills that are unique to leaders? How can high IQ guys fall into traps that are uniquely set for them? As it turns out, the way to make people think you're smart and competent is very similar to how to make them think you're a cool guy. Laura explains that in detail, including how the "dance of communication" ties into it. How do we pigeonhole ourselves into poor leadership communication, simply by overlooking the nuanced finesse required in most situations? Better yet, how do we fix that? How do you adjust both the objective and subjective elements of your communications style based on who exactly you're leading, and in what context? How can you earn respect through your communicative leadership rather than demanding it? What's the real relationship between what you say and how you say it? (Hint: It may not be what you've heard in the past.) How can you "match the energy" of the person you're talking to in a way that builds respect and rapport? What are the big mistakes that even major companies make when attempting to communicate to their customer base in a way that creates admiration and goodwill? Get in on the new VIDEO version of the podcast at https://mountaintoppodcast.com/youtube === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === The show is now available as a VIDEO version on YouTube. For some reason, the episodes seem funnier...if a bit more rough around the edges.

Send us a textWhat happens when Southern hospitality meets New York Assertiveness? You get Jennifer Logue, the force behind Phenomenal Speaking, who's transforming how Leaders communicate through a powerful blend of Emotional Intelligence and Radical Candor.Jennifer's journey began in the South, where family values and entrepreneurial spirit shaped her foundation. Her grandfather – a trial attorney she affectionately calls "Papa" – showed her what true Leadership looks like by fighting for justice while raising three strong women. "Remember you are loved," his words that catch in her throat when she shares them, became both her personal mantra and professional compass.When Jennifer arrived in New York at 21, the city immediately taught her a crucial lesson: you can't control everything, but you can choose how you respond. Managing Irish pubs and nightclubs became her MBA in human behavior, teaching her to cool down tense situations while maintaining boundaries. This unique combination – creating space for people to be heard while moving them toward action – now defines her Executive Coaching approach.What makes Jennifer's method truly "phenomenal" is how she weaves together seemingly contradictory strengths. Named after Maya Angelou's poem "Phenomenal Woman," her business embodies both fierce advocacy and deep empathy. "People forget what you've said, they'll forget what you've done, but they'll never forget how you made them feel," she quotes Angelou, explaining how this philosophy guides her work with clients.When not Coaching Executives, Jennifer performs with her Theatre Company "Our Bar NYC" and Jug-Band "The Salt Cracker Crazies", channels her inner Gamer with titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, and spoils Hazelnut, her beloved dog. These creative outlets keep her grounded and remind her of the importance of play in professional growth.Want to develop your own communication superpowers? Connect with Jennifer at www.phenomenalspeaking.com and discover how emotional intelligence can transform your leadership presence while staying authentically you.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

"The Leadership Myth That's Making Your Workplace Sterile (And Why You Need to Ditch It)" Ready to challenge one of the most damaging myths in modern leadership? This week, the No More Leadership BS crew tackles the ridiculous notion that emotions have no place in the workplace. Spoiler alert: if you're buying into this myth, you're probably creating a workplace that's about as inspiring as watching paint dry. Here's what went down when emotions got real: The Human Factor Revolution Forget the stoic leader facade – our hosts dive deep into why emotional authenticity isn't just acceptable, it's essential. When leaders show genuine emotions, they're not being unprofessional; they're being human. And guess what? People follow humans, not emotionless robots in suits. Response vs. Reaction: The Game Changer There's a crucial difference between having an emotional meltdown and responding authentically to situations. The key isn't to suppress emotions (spoiler: that never works anyway), but to learn the art of responding rather than reacting. Think of it as emotional aikido – using the energy without letting it control you. The Manipulation Trap Here's where it gets spicy: emotions can be a powerful leadership tool, but there's a fine line between authentic influence and manipulative behavior. The hosts explore when emotional awareness becomes a superpower and when it crosses into dangerous territory. The Authenticity Paradox If you're preaching authentic leadership while showing zero emotions, you're basically a walking contradiction. Real authenticity includes the full spectrum of human experience – the good, the challenging, and everything in between. The Bottom Line: Emotions aren't the enemy of professionalism; they're the secret sauce of genuine leadership. When you embrace emotional authenticity, you build trust, improve communication, create psychological safety, and drive engagement. Your workplace becomes a place where humans want to be, not just have to be. Tune in for: >The "boiling emotions" analogy that'll change how you think about suppression >A powerful story about saying "I love you" at work (and why it matters) >The difference between being emotional and being emotionally intelligent >Practical ways to show emotion without becoming "that" leader Why consistency beats perfection every single time Don't let outdated leadership myths turn your workplace into an emotional wasteland. It's time to lead with your whole self – emotions included.

The Great Career Divorce: When You and Your Job Just Don't Match Anymore Gone are the days of the gold watch retirement fantasy. Today's workplace reality? Companies change direction faster than a GPS with poor signal, and sometimes that means your career path suddenly looks like it was planned by a drunk GPS. So what happens when organizational priorities shift and your professional values feel like they're speaking different languages? The Real Talk: Three Critical Realizations About Career Misalignment Stop Getting Your Worth from Your Workplace Here's the uncomfortable truth: if your entire identity revolves around your job title, you're setting yourself up for professional heartbreak. When organizations pivot (and they will), employees who derive their self-worth externally find themselves emotionally devastated. The solution isn't finding the "perfect" company—it's developing internal value that doesn't fluctuate with corporate reorganizations. Safety vs. Growth: The False Security Trap Many professionals stay in misaligned positions because it feels "safe." But here's the plot twist: real safety comes from knowing your skills are valuable anywhere, not from hanging onto a paycheck that slowly erodes your professional soul. High-S personality types especially struggle with this, preferring status quo over the uncertainty of change—even when that status quo is professionally toxic. Communication Before Evacuation Before you storm out dramatically (tempting as it may be), try adult conversation first. Write down your concerns, remove the emotion, and present them professionally. Go up the chain if necessary. You might not change the situation, but you'll change yourself—and leave with integrity intact. The Leadership Perspective: Why Good Leaders Prepare Teams for Uncomfortable Conversations Smart leaders set expectations early. They tell new hires: "We will have uncomfortable conversations. This is normal and necessary." When issues arise, they reference this upfront agreement, creating psychological safety even during difficult discussions. This approach builds trust instead of breeding resentment. The Bottom Line Career misalignment isn't a character flaw—it's a navigation challenge. Companies will always operate in their best interest; you must know yours. Sometimes the best growth happens when things aren't working for you, but on you. Tune In For:

How to have the conversations that are most difficult — and most important.Before you can have hard conversations with others, you need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's the counterintuitive advice from Sheila Heen, who says our own internal narratives often derail our attempts at negotiation and conflict resolution."The first negotiation is actually a negotiation I have with myself about my own story," explains Heen, a Harvard Law School lecturer and co-author of Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. When entering challenging interactions, she recommends a powerful shift where we consider that our perspective is only one side of the story. "If I can shift my purpose from convincing you of something to just understanding how you see it and why we might see it differently, that actually is more likely to generate a good conversation with less defensiveness for both of us."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heen joins Matt Abrahams to explore effective communication in high-stakes situations. From giving and receiving feedback with her “ACE” framework (Appreciation, Coaching, and Evaluation) to recognizing the "degrees of difficulty" in disagreements, she offers practical strategies for having productive conversations even when emotions run high.Episode Reference Links:Sheila Heen Sheila's Books: Difficult Conversations / Thanks for the Feedback  Ep.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneEp.136 The Art of Disagreeing Without Conflict: Navigating the Nuance  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:36) - Managing Anxiety in Tough Conversations (04:15) - Why Emotions Matter (07:23) - Shifting the Story We Tell Ourselves (08:41) - Starting with the Real Issue (10:20) - Getting Unstuck in Conflict (13:18) - ACE: The Three Types of Feedback (16:20) - Making Feedback Actionable (18:40) - Finding Common Ground (20:17) - The Final Three Questions (27:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Simina Fodor: How Leadership Communication Can Destroy Team Morale Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Simina recounts working with a diverse, remote team on a high-visibility project to retire legacy systems under strict deadlines. The team made sacrifices, working overtime and through vacations to meet the challenging timeline. When Simina recommended team bonuses to recognize their extraordinary efforts, leadership not only rejected the request but publicly announced that overtime was simply "expected" as part of the job. This single communication destroyed the team's trust, leading to disengagement, dropped velocity, missed deadlines, and team members skipping Scrum events. Simina highlights how quickly team dynamics can collapse when leadership dismisses extra effort and fails to acknowledge team contributions. Self-reflection Question: How might you advocate for proper recognition of your team's extraordinary efforts when leadership views such work as simply expected? Featured Book of the Week: The Making of a Manager by Julie Zhuo Simina recommends "The Making of a Manager" by Julie Zhuo, a book she initially dismissed because she wasn't in a management role. However, upon reading it, she discovered numerous parallels between effective management and Scrum Mastery. The book's message that managers don't need to know all the answers resonated deeply with her, reinforcing the importance of understanding humans first before implementing processes. Despite not being an Agile-specific book, Simina found its people-focused approach incredibly valuable for her Scrum Master practice. [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

“There's three groups of people. When there's a crisis, there are three people you need to talk to, including your employees, your stakeholders, your suppliers, whatever, and the public… You've got to get out there and tell your employees it's okay, you're going to be safe, and you need to tell the managers beneath you that, hey, you're going to be okay, here's what we're going to do. But if you're not communicating on a crisis level, that's horrible. But a company that is always communicating with its employees, its stakeholders, and the public, if it's always doing that, then it becomes just a kind of a natural thing.” – David Tyler This episode is the second half of my conversation with media and communication coach David Tyler as we discuss the key to maintaining effective communications during a crisis, how remote work has changed the way we share knowledge, and what makes sound more important than ever.

(0:00:00) - Communication Strategies for Effective LeadershipThe second half of our discussion starts with David's advice for business leaders looking to build both team rapport and a stronger brand. “A lot of times,” he says, “managers are just pushed up the ladder and given no training about how to be a better communicator. But I think probably the biggest thing that managers need to know is how to communicate vision.” We talk about some of the latest headlines and how they've tested each company's communication strategies, and the technological barriers that he sees when it comes to making a connection. “One of the other things that I teach managers,” he says, “is that listening is 50% of the conversation, and I emphasize that with them. It's important to listen actively, to put away your phone, [and] to put away any kind of distractions.”(0:10:03) - Media Interview Preparation and Communication TipsDavid shares his thoughts on branding and communicating through the media, and tips for anyone facing a surprise interview. “What do you think they're going to ask?” he suggests. “And write those questions down and have a list of the questions with the answers, so that you already have an answer.” He offers a playful example of how to keep an interview on track when I ask him about his hair color. “That's a really good question,” he quips, “but I think what we should talk about is the financial problems we're having in Ottawa.” As he explains, “You need to have the things you want the public to know ready to go and then find a way to weave those things into the interview.”(0:13:33) - The Importance of Non-Verbal CommunicationAs our conversation comes to a close, David and I talk about how much subtext can be carried by sound and all the non-verbal cues that surround it. “Meaning happens between the words,” he explains, “in the same way that a musician can play a song and then a great musician can take that exact same song, that exact same melody, and put so much meaning into it to drive you to tears.” We discuss AI's role in the future of audio branding, and he shares an observation from...
