NUMBER 1

Episode #58: Communicate with CONFIDENCE – Mental Preparation 

This episode was released in 2020, and it’s the TOP EPISODE for the second year in a row. Clearly this is a topic that resonates with A LOT of people. In this episode I share the 4 P’s of communicating with confidence: 

1. 1. Practice
   2. Proverb
   3. Pep Talk
   4. Pirate

NUMBER 2

Episode #86: Introductions – How to INTRODUCE Yourself

Wow! This episode was only released a few months ago and it made it into the Top 3 of the year! In this episode I share a 3-step framework for introducing yourself: 

1. Present – Establish who you are.
2. Past – Highlight your relevant experience.
3. Future – Ideally an immediate future statement.

Listen to the episode to learn how to put this framework to use, and never feel self-conscious about introducing yourself again.

NUMBER 3

Episode #75: LEADERSHIP – Communicate Like a Boss with Jill Nykoliation 

My interview with Jill in episode #75 was one of my favourites to date, and if you haven’t already listened to it, I hope you will. Jill and I worked together years ago in marketing at Kraft Foods. When I left to pursue academia, Jill joined an advertising agency.  She’s now the award-winning CEO of JuniperPark/TBWA. (Go Jill!)

There’s a lot we can all learn from Jill in this episode, including:

1. the benefits of authenticity
2. the importance of a growth mindset
3. the significance of precision…
