Have you ever held back in a meeting, fearing how your words might be received?
Fear often takes the driver’s seat in our communication, keeping us from building better relationships and unlocking new opportunities.
But what if you could overcome those fears? This week’s guest is here to help you do just that.
Meet Michelle Gladieux. Michelle is the author of Communicate with Courage, a transformative and award-winning bravery manual for your personal and professional life. She leads a consulting company offering development programs across sectors (for profit, non-profit, government, academia, and industry) and has been called a human potential whisperer who loves what she does - and it shows!
Today, Michelle reveals the four hidden challenges blocking our communication potential and shares actionable advice to help you become a courageous communicator.
In the extended episode available to members of Podcast+, Michelle dives deeper, discussing how managers can empower their teams to communicate courageously and how feedback can be a powerful tool for growth.
