Choose Courage Podcast

Communication is the key to building meaningful relationships, and it's something we all want to be better at. But how do we become great communicators? Noreen Daley, Chair of the Department of Communication Studies at Northern Caribbean University, has been in the area of communication for 20 years and shares her three steps to improving connections.

Firstly, be comfortable in your own skin. Embrace who you are and be confident in your abilities. When you are comfortable with yourself, you are more likely to be authentic and genuine when communicating with others.

Secondly, always be willing to grow. Communication is a skill that can always be improved upon, so be open to learning and growing. Seek out opportunities to develop your communication skills, such as taking courses or attending workshops.

Lastly, be open to constructive criticism. We all have blind spots when it comes to our communication, and having people in our lives who can provide honest feedback is crucial. Be open to criticism and use it as an opportunity to improve.

Noreen's passion for communication stems from her father's encouragement to speak up and be comfortable being herself. She sees communication as her life's calling and believes that it is integral to empowering young people. Daly also shares her podcast, "Making it Last," where she discusses various topics related to communication. As a communication coach, she offers one-on-one coaching in both oral and written communication.

So, if you want to become a better communicator, remember to be comfortable in your own skin, always be willing to grow, and be open to constructive criticism. And don't forget to be kinder to yourself and others, as it can make the world a better place.

How do you create teams and leaders who walk in their magic? My guest today, Dr. Renee St Jax, has dedicated her life to obtaining the knowledge and skills to maximize workplace joy and business impact by elevating leadership skills, emotional intelligence, and team culture. 

Renee shares her journey of taking a courageous leap from a successful career in corporate America to pursuing her passion in psychology and leadership.

Now, she brings joy and impact to workplaces by training organizations on leadership skills, emotional intelligence, and team culture.

Renee's story inspires listeners to embrace change and pursue their dreams. She highlights the importance of knowing one's "why" and shares tips on finding it, including reflecting on past fulfilling experiences and considering the positive impact one wants to make on the world.

Renee's personal fulfillment extends to being a flexible and present mother to her children.

About Amy Jordan:

Amy is an award-winning author, keynote speaker, fitness expert, and choreographer. She was a dancer and her dream was to dance professionally and tour the world and even be a rockstar (except she can’t sing). She also has had type 1 diabetes since the age of 4.  Compounded by an eating disorder that caused her to become legally blind at age 21 where she had to stop driving.  Unfortunately, her dance career stopped before it started.

At 39, the unimaginable happened. She was crossing the street in New York City and was hit and run over by a New York City express bus. Amy was literally hit by a bus, pinned under the tire and her right leg was crushed, and nearly amputated. 20 surgeries later it has been rebuilt and she was told she may never walk again. While pinned under that bus tire, Amy made a determination in her own heart. “If I survive the night, there will be a Victory Dance.”

On June 15, 2017, Amy literally danced again onstage with her professional company The Victory Dance Project and now has an award-winning book ‘Dance Because You Can.’ She is even more grateful her journey back to the stage has become an Internationally Acclaimed Documentary Feature film.

Amy was raised in West Palm Beach, FL. She is also the Founder and Artistic Director of The Victory Dance Project, a professional dance company on a mission to ‘Make the Impossible Possible with the Power of Movement’.
