Persuade without being pushy

Season 5 · Episode 2

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 • Duration 25:46

In today's episode, we're discussing persuasion at work.

It's an element of many people's jobs, so understanding its importance and how to create a safe and comfortable space for persuasion to live is important.

Here are a few things we'll discuss:

Persuading is not convincing; it's alignment
Know what your audience wants or needs (one we always talk about)
Create credibility by asking questions and listening just as much as you talk
Knowing when to take a step back and maintain your image/trust

If people leave agreeing but not acting, persuasion didn't happen.

Setting SMART Goals using clear communication

Season 5 · Episode 1

Wednesday, January 14, 2026 • Duration 26:05

It's January, so of course, everyone is focused on goal-setting for the year to come.

As you plan your goals out, consider a few things:

Set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound)
Be realistic - lofty goals are fine, but know how you're going to get there
Communicate your goal(s) clearly to yourself and others
Check in often and reflect on how the goal is going - make changes if necessary

Going in with a plan helps breed success. Understanding that failure is sometimes part of a goal creates consistency in showing up. Being clear and reflective with yourself allows room for adjustments or getting back on track.

How to be clear, concise & stay on message

Season 4 · Episode 11

Why it can be so difficult to accomplish
Understanding what your audience wants or needs
Knowing what point you're trying to make
The ability to practice purposefully

In this episode, you'll hear how you can approach the coming holidays with clear, concise, and on-message conversations.

The Empty Boat Mindset & Communication

Season 4 · Episode 10

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 19:59

This month, we're exploring the 'empty boat' mindset parable and how it relates to effective communication and relationship building.

The parable basically states that if an empty boat runs into yours, you navigate around it. But if someone is in that boat, you tend to react negatively, even though the same situation occurred.

We discuss the importance of:

Separating intent from impact
Responding not reacting
Assuming positive (or neutral) intent
Focusing on understanding vs. placing blame
Creating safety so relationships can thrive

Approaching interactions as if they are "empty boats" allows you to have more control over your reactions and emotions.

How to Coach Good Communicators

Season 4 · Episode 9

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 • Duration 26:26

Sometimes the hardest people to coach aren’t those who struggle with communication; it's the ones who think they’ve already mastered it. Not because they lack skill, but because their blind spots are often more ingrained.

In this episode, we'll take years of experience and explore:

The Blind Spots of “Good Communicators” — from dominating conversations to resisting change.
Coaching Without Clashing with Ego — using rapport, curiosity, and concrete evidence to open minds.
Common Pitfalls — like over-talking, under-listening, or failing to adapt to different audiences.
Shifting the Mindset — reframing communication as a lifelong practice, not something you 'complete'.

Whether you lead, manage, or mentor, you’ll learn practical ways to help even your best communicators keep getting better.

Effective Communication Cultures

Season 4 · Episode 8

Wednesday, August 13, 2025 • Duration 29:58

Some organizations have excellent communication cultures, while others struggle in this area.

The organizations that have it down tend to do 3 things:

They have access to communicate with anyone within the organization, no matter their title or role.
They focus on development opportunities.
They lead with a growth mindset, and their leaders "walk the talk".

Listen along for more details on each of these topics and what you can do, either as a leader or an individual, to identify opportunities within each space.

The sooner an organization or team can create a culture of good, open communication, the more successful they'll be.

How to choose your evidence

Season 4 · Episode 6

Wednesday, June 18, 2025 • Duration 27:02

Have you ever wondered what evidence to bring to the table in your meeting?

Evidence, or forms of influence (FOI), are necessary to engage and persuade your audience. We spend a lot of time talking about the physical and vocal skillset, which are extremely important in how you show up. But FOIs are equally important. As soon as you're done making those first impressions, the evidence and knowledge we provide is what keep people coming back for more.

This month we'll talk about:

What we label as evidence or FOIs
How to consider the audience when choosing which FOIs are most effective
Ways to think about blending stories and data to be impactful and memorable

Skillset and knowledge are necessary to be a successful speaker!

Digital Communication Do's & Don'ts

Season 4 · Episode 5

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 • Duration 23:34

Digital communication is all around us. In our world today, it's very hard, if not impossible, to avoid it. Whether you want to or not, you're a part of it, so we need to understand how to be effective with this medium.

We want to help your digital communication get noticed, read, and engaged with in some way. There are a few ways you can do that:

Consider the look of your digital communication: Does it look easy to read? Would you read it? If the answer is no, it's not ready to be shared.
Put your key message at the beginning: No one wants to read an entire article or email to find out the purpose at the end.
Determine what needs to be shared: Not every detail is important. This ties back to #1, if it's too long or detailed, chances are your reading audience will skim or skip it altogether.

This topic will be in constant movement as it continues to evolve and be used in different ways. We'll continue to talk about digital communication as more recommendations come to light.
