As a highly sensitive person, do you avoid conflict? Listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes executive coach and consultant Michelle Gladieux for conversation about communication challenges, conflict management and emotional intelligence. “The more interested or passionate we are about a topic, sometimes the more dangerous our words and tone can become.” — Michelle Gladieux When a work situation doesn't sit right with you, do you speak up or hold your peace? What about when the boss wants to have a word with you? How do you handle disagreements with your partner or your friends? Do you avoid conflict? Or do you dive in head first and insist that you're right? Communication doesn't always come easily, especially if you're highly sensitive. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a mid-life women's coach, welcomes Michelle Gladieux, an executive coach, consultant and author of Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges, for a discussion of communication skills for the highly sensitive. They talk about the roots of some common responses to conflict and why these approaches are usually self -defeating, and offer practical strategies and examples of how you can say what you need to say when you want to say it.   You can find the resources and show notes for this and every episode here.  https://www.elizabethcushcoaching.com/awaken-your-wise-woman-podcast 

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, Michelle Gladieux, author of Communicate with Courage, explores the four hidden challenges of effective communication and shares practical strategies for overcoming them. From embracing vulnerability to balancing authority and empathy, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to help you communicate with authenticity and purpose.    TAKEAWAYS Bravery is a critical component of effective communication as it allows us to take risks and avoid regret. Hiding from risk stems from fear of exposing vulnerabilities, which can hinder personal growth and authentic connections. Clinging to being right often blocks the opportunity to learn from others' perspectives and experiences. Pessimistic self-talk can negatively color communication, but choosing optimism can transform both interactions and outlooks. Settling for "good enough" prevents individuals from reaching their full potential in meaningful situations. Balancing vulnerability with authority can humanize communication, especially for those in leadership roles. Sharing personal communication goals with others helps shift perceptions and fosters accountability. Thoughtful self-reflection and feedback-seeking are essential for continuous growth as a communicator.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST

Michelle Gladieux, a communication expert, debate coach, executive coach, and author of “Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges,“ brings years of experience in training leaders in almost every industry for more impactful presentations.  Four personality skills consist of: 1) driver for highly assertive person; 2) analyst is great at details; 3) amiable means you are flexible; 4) expressive style is one who is gregarious and loves to talk.  The four challenges: 1) hiding from risk when the risk should be confronted; 2) defining to be right and confident; 3) rationalizing the negative and being afraid to bring it up; 4) settling for just “good enough.” Example of ProMoves is just doing a little more than the average reaction.

Authors tend to be very proud of their books and believe what they've written can help anyone, anywhere!  Although that might be correct, the hard truth is you are going to have to focus on the .001% of the population that is going to get the most out of your book and that will in turn get the most out of your content. To discuss the ins and outs of marketing to your target audience we've invited first time author Michelle Gladieux to join us. Michelle is the president of Gladieux Consulting, which offers one-on-one executive and employee coaching and strategic plan facilitation. Michelle's first book is Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges. Michelle shares how she spent four years writing her book to ensure it was ready for publication. Then, her editor suggested that she rewrite the book and focus on an overarching message that would better resonate and pull the reader in. That message would become the four hidden challenges that prevent people from becoming fearless and peerless communicators Peter and Michelle discuss the hard task of marketing a book, and why you need to start marketing before you're published. We learn what personal touches Michelle used to give the book legs and what experiments she has tried and is continuing to do that have a low cost but potentially high impact!   Three Key Takeaways: ·         For most people making money cannot be the main driver for writing a book. ·         Don't be afraid of failure when experimenting with marketing. Some ideas might not fly, but others could go further than you might imagine. ·         It is easy to fall into the trap of feeling like everyone can use your book.  In order to get the best return on your investment you have to drill down deep into who your target avatar really is.

Michelle Gladieux is President of Gladieux Consulting and author of the new book Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges. Communication is an essential building block in leadership at all levels. And yet it's frequently misunderstood. Michelle demystified this and provides help in overcoming some of the biggest challenges this week on the On Brand podcast. About Michelle Gladieux Michelle Gladieux is President of Gladieux Consulting, a Midwest-based team known for the design and presentation of seminars in communication and leadership topics around the U.S. She's the author of Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges. She facilitates strategic planning and executive coaching for clients in diverse industries, governments, non-profits, and in academia and has 18 years of collegiate teaching experience at three universities in her home state of Indiana. Episode Highlights Communicating from the heart(land). I asked Michelle if being from the Midwest—the heartland—made her a better communicator. She shared a touching story of the "hard-earned pearls" of wisdom her mother passed down to her and how it led her to help others in their own communication. "Nobody's born a great leader," Michelle said. Or a great communicator for that matter. Michelle shared a story about how every time someone's implied she's given a great speech effortlessly, she says, "the effortless part is an illusion." What are the hidden challenges in leadership communication today? Michelle shared these along with how they're addressed in her book Communicate with Courage: Hiding from risks Defining to be right Rationalizing the negative Settling for good enough What brand has made Michelle smile recently? "Purdue University is the only university to be included on Fast Company's list of brands that matter." This means a lot to Michelle as Purdue is both an institution she's taught at and her alma mater.

If there is one truth in the world today...it is that when it comes to communication we are not doing very well. Let's be honest as problems increase, as we draw more verbal lines in the sand, the only solution that can solve the problem is more effective communication.  And yet communication with each other seems to be a greater challenge. We all know in our business and personal lives that poor communication leads to numerous problems. We want to believe that we are great when it comes to our communication...and yet...we often seem to miscommunicate.  But how often do we say things in the wrong way, want to prove that we are right, or maybe we hide ourselves from the conversation, rationalize with negativity, or not give our best effort in our communications with others. The fact is we all need to do better and we can do better...how?
