Episode 3: Beyond Words: The Real Skills Behind Effective Communication
Communication isn’t just about what you say — it’s about how you connect.
In this episode, I dive deeper into the nuances of workplace communication: how to navigate meetings with confidence, talk with your leader the right way, and build emotional intelligence that strengthens trust and credibility.
You’ll learn how to:
💬 Prepare for meetings and add value (not noise)
🧭 Communicate with your leader clearly and respectfully
🤝 Lean into emotional intelligence and empathy
⚡ Replace control with connection to build stronger teams
Because great communication isn’t a talent — it’s a skill.
And when you master it, you don’t just get heard… you make an impact.
