For a long time, I felt that I didn’t speak with clarity. I would jump from thought to thought without any intelligent connection. I wouldn’t finish my thoughts properly leaving people with an unfinished thought. Overall, my communication was jumbled and all over the place. I realised that I needed to learn how to speak with more clarity. After spending a long time researching and trialling different methods, I narrowed it down to seven things that helped me the most.
In this episode, I take you through the method that has helped me to speak with more clarity. It includes:
Expanding your vocabularyRemoving unnecessary informationConveying one thought at a timeKeeping the main point in mindReading to improve your speakingWriting to improve your speakingLearning from interviews and documentaries

To be honest, the corporate world can be rife with office politics. You’ve probably experienced or witnessed office politics at some stage in your career. It’s bad enough when coworkers engage in office politics, but when it’s a leader, that’s a whole different problem.
In this episode, we’re going to look at seven office politics that exist. I also explain why each office politic is bad and what you should do instead. Some of these office politics are common in the workplace, while others are more extreme.
By learning about these office politics, I hope to not only bring your awareness to them, but also help you avoid getting embroiled in these office politics. Because they will have a detrimental effect on you, your leadership reputation and your future career success. 
In this episode, I talk about
FavouritismGossipingSpreading rumoursBackstabbingForming cliquesIntentionally withholding informationBlackmailing

Communicating with executives is different to communicating with your coworkers. Executives think on a deeper level. Their conversations are more focused. Their reactions are direct. There’s basically no time to waste when communicating with executives. This means that in order to communicate effectively with them, you have to tweak and change your style of communication. 


There are a number of ways you can change your communication style so its more tailored for executives. In this episode, I share six different techniques that you can use. Depending on the situation, you may choose to utilise one or a number of them in the one conversation. You’ll learn all about them in this podcast episode!


In this episode, I talk about:
Changing your focus so it aligns with that of executives.Getting to the point. How to answer their questions adequately.Importance of knowing facts and numbers well.Speaking with conviction.How to ask good questions to get noticed.
