New Episode: Communicate for People, Not to Them


Hey Reader,

What would happen if we stopped thinking of communication as something that we do to someone, and instead lean into the fact that what we are doing is communicating for someone.

This week's guest, Salvatore Manzi, has coached more than 4,2000 leaders over the past 20 years in the art of communicating effectively, from the everyday conversations with team members to the the stage.

In this episode:

  • Salvatore shares tools for your next meeting to make your communication more thorough and impactful
  • His trick to get quiet voices joining in on the conversation within the first five minutes
  • Two pointers to listen for: leave 10 seconds of silence and then his framework of “you, then me"

Think about the person in your life who’s a genuinely great communicator. Not the loudest voice in the room, but rather the one who makes you feel like the only person in it. Who leaves space for you to finish the thought you didn’t know you had? We all have someone like that. Hit reply and tell me who’s on yours.

PS: Have you told them that they had that impact on you? I think you should.

Hey Reader, The drive that built your success can be the same thing that caps it. My guest this week, Jason Connell, was a professional magician by the age of 18 and a sold-out speaker a decade later. Both times, he was professionally successful and personally miserable. Today he's a licensed therapist and author of When Success Isn't Enough, but most importantly feeling like he’s living his most authentic life. He learned the hard way that sometimes you have to rewire what success means to...

Hey Reader, "Oh God, here we go again." That's what my team would groan every time I brought a new idea to them. I used to think one of my greatest gifts was the ability to see over the horizon, connect the dots, and come up with a million new ideas. It took me a while to hear what they were telling me with those groans. See, I was in a group back then and we used to have a monthly presentation from a speaker. Each month we would laugh about how dangerous it was to hear one of those...

Hey Reader, If every hard problem in your company still finds its way to your desk, here's the hard truth: you didn't build a bigger company. You built a longer list of stuff to do. Twenty years ago, my mentor Terry Dunn told me something I didn't want to hear: "You had better get comfortable being the least informed about the details of your business." I'll let you think about how that went. This week kicks off our CEO Mindset series with that lesson. In this episode: Why the skills that...
