Happy International Podcast Day! This has been an exciting few weeks celebrating my 100th episode, sharing the recent podcast mini-series about global leadership communication, and launching a new live training, Become a Global Leader.

And to end the celebrations, I decided to create a very different episode for you today. Rather than me or a guest expert sharing their ideas, strategies and tips, I asked you what you wanted to know about improving your leadership communication, speaking like a leader and developing your cultural intelligence.

I received many great questions and I chose this fantastic one from Lynne in Japan as this is something I am often asked about: What are the key ingredients to achieving success across cultures?

What you will learn in this episode:

• The human connection factor
• It starts with us- how culture shapes who we are, what we believe and what's the right way to do things.
• Understand your behavioural preferences and how they influence your motivations and drivers for communication and interaction.
• Look with fresh eyes. Press the pause button.
• Get curious and ask questions.
• See similarities and differences, not 'right' and 'wrong'.
• Go deeper than awareness with cultural intelligence.
• CQ Strategy: plan what you will do differently.
• CQ Action: choose where you will adapt to create the connection.

If you missed the free live training last week, Become a Global Leader, message me on LinkedIn with the word 'Become' and I'll send the replay to you- it's available until 4th October 2024 only.

In celebration of the 100th episode, I have created a very special Podcast offer for my 1:1 VIP Global Leader Communication programme. This programme is for you if you are committed to accelerating your next promotion to become a global leader, with no more waiting. Get noticed with your leadership presence, speak more clearly and boldly, get more visible.

There are some AMAZING free Extras worth £2200 which are available to you when you book to meet me in a Discovery call by 4th October 2024 and then go on to book your programme. Message me on LinkedIn to register your interest and we'll arrange a time to meet.

How do you talk so people lean in?

Some of this is how you talk- the way you come across when you open your mouth and share your views and ideas.

The way you structure your thoughts so you speak articulately and persuasively.

How confident you sound about what you are saying.

This is how you elevate your leadership skills. This is how you influence others.

We will explore how to engage and connect with the people listening while you're speaking.

We'll talk about your message- what you choose to say- and your delivery: how you choose to express yourself so you speak boldly and confidently.

September kick off: Recommit and take action

Happy September! As we shift gears here in the northern hemisphere with return to school and work for many of us, this is the perfect time to recommit to your career, leadership and progression goals and make the rest of 2024 count.

That's why I decided to reshare with you a LinkedIn Live I created a couple of months ago, which I believe is a great way for you to kick-start your motivation, take stock and get moving with actions which will still have impact for you this year.

Recommit & take action: your leadership communication review

In this live, I will help you to understand how to measure your progress, capture your wins and get back on track. Plus how to create an action plan and success habits that help you stick to it for the rest of this year.

Accelerate your leadership communication goals for the rest of 2024 so you become more visible, have greater impact and build your personal brand to support your career ambitions.

Summer season part 5 of 5: Body language and your IMPACT.

In this summer series of LinkedIn live video re-runs, enjoy the most popular, most viewed topics to support you to keep growing and learning. I'll be back soon with new episodes!

Body language and your IMPACT

How often do you notice others' body language? How aware are you of your own non-verbal communication?

When speaking, we tend to plan what we will say, the content, and the actual words we will use.

However, if we don't pay attention to our non-verbal communication, then we are missing key opportunities to engage and connect with people, build our presence and professional impression.

In this week's re-run of this LinkedIn Live, I share my IMPACT model for you to become more aware of the full range of your non-verbal communication, including your body language and how this can enhance your leadership presence and visibility.
