In this episode, we hear from Dr. Michael Gerharz, a communication expert who helps leaders find impactful words to enhance their influence. He discusses the evolution of leadership communication, stressing the importance of resonating with audiences rather than merely persuading them. Dr. Gerharz elaborates on the concept of using words that align with personal conviction and service orientation, moving away from performance anxiety.

We also discuss strategies for creating effective presentations, the drawbacks of clickbait communication, and the importance of clarity and curiosity in team communications. Dr. Gerharz introduces his PATH framework (Plain, Actionable, Transformative, and Heartfelt) for strategic communication, and highlights the significance of fostering environments where ideas can flourish. The episode emphasizes serving the audience and authentic engagement as keys to successful leadership communication.

Dr. Michael Gerharz helps leaders across the globe find the right words so they can make a bigger impact. He’s the author of “The Aha-Effect” and the “Leaders Light the Path” manifesto. His blog on “The Art of Communicating” has more than 1000 published posts and he’s the host of the “Irresistible Communication“ podcast.
