In this episode, Becca welcomes Kim Wynn, a former educator consultant turned performance and leadership coach, to discuss the nuances of communication, specifically focusing on the concept of "speaking to the listening." 

So, why should you care?  Communication isn't just about what you want to say; it's about understanding what the other person needs to hear. We're talking about creating a space where people feel heard, and that, alone, can transform whether someone actual hears your intended message or not – whether it's in a classroom or your daily interactions. 

Kim drills down into the nuances of "speaking to the listening." That means tailoring your message to what the other person needs and understanding the listener's preferences, whether visual/auditory  or knowing what's important to them, and asking questions to ensure clarity and alignment. Kim breaks down the importance of wrapping up a conversation with intention and making sure everyone leaves with what they need (including you- their leader).

Tune into this episode if you have communicated a message before and it seemed to fall on deaf ears. This is one of those episodes that can impact not only your professional life, but also your personal one.
