It’s time to stop using Communication’s dirty little secret and learn how to communicate in healthy ways.

I'd be honored if you would give it a listen.

Your communication success is absolutely vital. A leader's influence can grow and expand based on the health and ability of their communication skills. Surprisingly, many leaders choose to sabotage their relationships and leadership by opting for unhealthy communication. In simple terms, they Speak AT people and not WITH people. These next two weeks will help you win in your relationships and experience communication success.

I'm recruiting 100 friends to partner with Speak with People to execute a little grass roots campaign for the Podcast!

Why is this so important to me??

Because EVERY DAY I talk to leaders who are struggling.
Because EVERY DAY I talk to men who are struggling.
Because EVERY DAY I talk to women who are struggling.
Because EACH WEEK I talk to teens who are struggling.
Because EACH WEEK I talk to business owners who are struggling.

What's the common denominator? Communication!

Either because of those they communicator or how someone is communicating to them.

We don't give communication the weight its due. We just hope things will get better.

But, we have to actively elevate the importance and practice of Healthy Communication in our LIVES!

That's what the podcast HELPS LEADERS do 2x a week!

We interview some of the BEST and most CREATIVE and WISE and INSIGHTFUL and HUMBLE leaders in the World and bring their thoughts + advice + wisdom to you for FREE!

Most weeks I have conversation with a parent who is trying to figure out how to help their teenager through depression and anxiety.

Recently I shared this podcast episode with the parent who shared it with their teen. The teen said...'I didn't think there was anyone who knew what I am going through'.

Still so proud of my son for sharing this story and his advice on this podcast episode of how to talk about mental health struggles.

https://www.speakwithpeople.com/podcasts/speak-with-people/episodes/2147946322

How in the world are we going to deal with this? That’s what so many people think when they or someone they know is dealing with mental health problems. It is extremely difficult to walk through depression, anxiety and panic, let alone figure out how to communicate it. When this happens, it...

Oh my goodness. I wish I would have learned this extremely valuable lesson many, many years ago.

For me this means I don't have to talk all the time and use an amazing amount of words to be a healthy communicator.

What does it mean to you?

This. Episode. Is. GREAT! Dustin Portillo has an amazing story. He pursued a life long dream to be a professional clown with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey and then he became the face of McDonald's as Ronald Mcdonald. Now he is a professional speaker and author. His advice and communication insights are just amazing in this episode!

Check out the episode and let me know what you think.

How do you deal with distractions when you're speaking?

A few weeks ago I was speaking at Schools and for the 1000th time over the last 25 years of speaking, I experienced a distraction. This wasn't just any distraction.

So, how do you deal with distractions?

I put together this youtube video and I would love to know how you deal with distractions in the comments.

Thanks!
