Description

How can you communicate with such a level of clarity that it becomes irresistible? Using words you truly believe in about the things you truly believe in? Words that resonate so strongly that you can make the impact that your ideas deserve? In this super short podcast, we explore what great communication looks like and how great leaders use it to make change happen. Each episode gives you one idea. My goal is to give you a pause, pay attention to a little things, and reflect on how you can apply them to boost your impact. All of that in 2 minutes. That’s shorter than it takes most other podcast to even get past the intro. Perhaps, that’s the reason why listeners from 90+ countries love this podcast.
