LINDSAY SCHIESS

Lindsay is a curious soul who finds joy in people, pancakes, and sleeping under the stars (preferably not all at once). She laughs loudly, cries during commercials, and is always up for a mountain wander or a deep conversation.

More than anything, she loves people. As a mom to four and wife to one very patient man, she believes in the simple truth from a popular children's song: "God gave us families to help us become who He wants us to be."

She's convinced that families are life's greatest classroom-where we learn how to love, grow, mess up, say sorry, and try again (and again...and again).

Lindsay is a therapist, a professor at the University of Utah, and a podcast host-which basically means she asks a lot of questions and never stops being fascinated by what makes people tick.

She believes in the goodness of people and the resilience of the human spirit.

Tenacious or Time Bomb?

Welcome back to Creating Confident Communication! Today we’re exploring a choice that determines whether we soar in our personal and professional lives or crash and burn.

Every day, in our business interactions, parenting moments, and personal relationships, we face this fundamental question: Will I be tenacious or will I be a time bomb?

As someone who’s navigated life’s intense challenges and learned to transform pressure into growth, I want to share how this choice shapes not just our immediate reactions, but our entire ability to communicate with confidence and create the connections we truly want. Do you want to communicate better and have greater relationships with family, coworkers, and yourself? Your transformation starts here!

In today's episode Confident Leadership you can learn to SOAR in your personal and professional life!

Clarifying What You Want Today on Creating Confident Communication, I’m sharing one of my favorite tools of confident leadership — clarifying what you truly want.

Leadership isn’t just about setting goals. It’s about leading with a clear heart and a steady voice so the people around you feel safe, inspired, and connected. And here’s something powerful — 93% of what people “hear” from you isn’t your words at all. It’s in the warmth of your tone, the openness in your body language, and the way your presence makes them feel. Your words? Just 7% of the message. When you’re crystal clear about what matters most — in your home, your work, and your life — that clarity radiates through everything you say and do. It helps you connect on a deeper level, not just as a leader, but as a human being.

When you believe in yourself, others believe in you. That’s the heartbeat of confident leadership — it starts inside, with clarity about who you are and what you want. When that belief shines through your tone, your body language, and your presence, people feel it. They trust it. And they’ll follow your lead — not because they have to, but because they want to.
