Most leadership communication fails before the conversation even begins. Learn how to shift from reaction to ownership and lead with clarity, confidence, and emotional intelligence.
In this episode of the CEO Sales Strategies Podcast, Doug C. Brown sits down with executive coach Adrian Koehler to explore what really causes communication breakdowns in leadership—and how top performers shift their mindset to lead powerful, trust-building conversations.
You’ll learn how to reframe “difficult people,” stay grounded during high-stakes conversations, and use clarity as a leadership tool instead of a vulnerability to avoid.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Why most communication fails before it even begins
✅ How the “victim mindset” shows up in high performers
✅ Why labeling someone as “difficult” blocks your leadership
✅ How to use emotional intelligence to lead through tension
✅ Why clarity is uncomfortable—but essential for impact
