Conversations for Fear-less Leaders
Business & Economics Podcasts
Effective leadership centers itself around influence because leadership isn't just about you, it's about other people and the relationships you build with them. Individual ability on its own isn’t enough to sustain a thriving business. A leader must provide the motivation required to achieve shared goals and mutual success – in the process unlocking levels of greatness that we might never have dreamed to be possible.Your ability to influence relies on your skill at introducing and driving critical conversation. In order to effect the change you seek, your vision has to be effectively shared and translated to your employees, peers, and partners, and so you need to become a master of conversation. That’s why I’ve joined forces with (Dale Laughlin/ Rhonda York) my fellow certified Conversational Intelligence®, Executive, Team and Life Coach, to create our brand-new podcast series, Conversations for FearLESS Leaders.We define a FearLESS leader as one who recognizes the fears that may be holding them back and is able to move beyond them to have the kinds of necessary, intentional conversations that make things happen. In each episode of our podcast we’ll explore the scary situations that can inhibit your ability to perform and use our experience to help you navigate through those fears to the success you deserve.So get comfortable, take a listen, and join the conversation at http://bit.ly/cfl-podcast- because we can do more when we fear less!#leadership #leadershipcoaching #executivecoaching #conversationalintelligence #difficultconversations #conversationsforfearlessleaders #facingfears

EP-18-Fearless Questioning
11/2/2021
It can be so frustrating! You think you’ve communicated clearly and completely. Then you realize that what you said is not what was understood. You find yourself having to do more telling and more explaining. Errors are made, deadlines are missed, and people become frustrated with each other.
“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” Robert J. McCloskey, a Spokesperson for the Pentagon.
In this podcast, Rhonda and Dale discuss the ways in which the message can get distorted. They explore the power of questions and position them as potentially powerful, multi-purpose conversational tools. Used artfully and with precision, questions become probes that elicit understanding; levers that shift thinking; signals that prompt reflection; magnifiers that evoke new insights and deductions; and catalysts that enhance clarity and engagement.
Listen, as they outline a questioning process FearLess Leaders can use to improve their influence and impact as communicators.
