We want your feedback and questions. Text us here.“Where do you need my support?”  It's a question every leader should be comfortable asking because it builds trust, uncovers hidden challenges, and moves the team forward faster. However, many leaders shy away from asking this question because they are worried it will cause more problems than it solves. Today, in the final part of our series on the phrases all leaders need to know, we'll talk about when to use this question, how to use it with confidence, and why the benefits are greater than the risks.

Lisa Bilyeu sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling author Charles Duhigg, known for "The Power of Habit" and his latest book, "Super Communicators." Charles joins Lisa to unpack the art of high-stakes communication—especially for women who face belittling, dismissive, or outright toxic interactions. Drawing from expert research and practical tools, Charles equips listeners with real-world strategies to confidently respond to disrespect, set boundaries, and reclaim their conversational power. Lisa and Charles dissect scenarios every woman has faced: being dismissed with demeaning remarks or told to “smile more.” They break down the nuances between well-intended but clumsy comments and those intended to hurt, and dive into how to respond with strength and grace in both cases.

In this episode, Neil delves into the delicate balance of generosity in hospitality, exploring how to avoid creating confusion for guests when offering kindness. Drawing on personal anecdotes and experiences, Neil emphasises the importance of clarity in communication. KEY TAKEAWAYS When offering kindness or additional services to guests, it's crucial to communicate clearly that there are no hidden costs or expectations. Phrases like "this is on me" or "just part of the welcome" help set the right tone. Creating opportunities for guests to contribute, such as a communal barbecue where everyone brings a dish, fosters a sense of community and reduces feelings of awkwardness. Being attentive to guests' emotional states and offering support, like a meal or a listening ear, can significantly enhance their experience. Providing clear information about any additional services or offerings before guests arrive can prevent misunderstandings and ensure they feel comfortable. Small, thoughtful gestures can have a lasting impact on guests. Whether it's a handwritten note or simply being a good listener, these acts contribute to a positive experience and can create a meaningful connection. BEST MOMENTS "When you want to treat somebody, make it clear from the outset that this is the case. It's your treat." "When we're not clear, or when we accidentally attach money to what is meant to be a gift or an act of generosity, we risk changing the emotional meaning of the gesture." "I have to enjoy myself too. And having you join me with whatever it is would tick that box." "Here's what I can offer. Here's what it costs. And simple, transparent, no surprises, no awkwardness." "All that you take with you when you die is what you gave away when you were alive."
