Cutting through the noise and standing out from the rest is a challenge many faces in putting out their message.

With social media getting all saturated and seeing content all the same, what's the chance of you resonating with your audience?

Jenny Rearick is a communication and presentation skills coach, gym owner, personal trainer, and educator. She is obsessed with communication and has dedicated her career to exploring, practicing, and teaching what she knows and continues to learn.

In this episode, Jenny shares the key points in good communication, the kind where it's not just one side that takes action; it's something that is built on 'co-creation,' one where you earn your audience's attention. She underscores the fact that small talks lead to meaningful conversations. It’s about getting interested in what others have to say and not just you talking all the time. And getting clear about your call of action so they do what you want them done. 

"There are messages that are created for everybody. And when you try to speak to everybody, you end up speaking to nobody because you're not able to tailor your communication to any specific group of people. And so it becomes very watered down. And anytime something is watered down, it's boring and not engaging. No one cares." - Jenny Rearick
