    Wording, Speaking and Presence with David Goldberg

    In this episode of The Better Leadership Team Show, I speak with David Goldberg, CEO of The Prosody Center and one of the leading experts on wording, speaking, and presence. Born hearing impaired with delayed speech, David developed an extraordinary sensitivity to sound, voice, tone, and communication that eventually led him to coach CEOs, politicians, entrepreneurs, athletes, speakers, and performers on how to communicate with greater authority and impact. We explore why leaders often spend so much time thinking about branding, visuals, and presentations while overlooking one of the most important parts of influence: how they sound. David shares practical insights on hedge words, pacing, pauses, vocal tone, positive language, Zoom presence, and the subtle communication habits that either strengthen or weaken credibility. This conversation is packed with immediately actionable communication strategies leaders can use in presentations, meetings, interviews, sales conversations, investor pitches, and everyday interactions.

    Managing the White-Collar/Blue-Collar Divide with Josh Zolin

    In this episode of The Better Leadership Team Show, I sit down with Josh Zolin, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, founder of BITNW Academy, and author of Blue Is the New White, to talk about one of the biggest leadership challenges many organizations face today: the divide between white-collar leadership and blue-collar frontline teams. We discuss why so many office leaders unintentionally lose credibility with field employees, how assumptions create resentment, and why respect is built through curiosity, transparency, and shared experience. Josh shares lessons from scaling a service business, leading technicians in the field, and helping companies create stronger cultures through better communication and leadership development. We also dive into financial transparency, leadership coaching, investing in employees, and why the future of the skilled trades deserves far more attention and respect than it often receives.
