While they say actions speak louder than words, it is often our speech that reflects the values and integrity inside of us. Join Dr. Tim Irwin, author, speaker, and leading authority on Leadership Development and Organizational Effectiveness, as he discusses the effect of our conversations on people's belief systems. Through a strategy called "Alliance Feedback," leaders can use affirmation to circumvent defensiveness during difficult conversations. When we assume positive intent and touch the core of one's aspirations, we empower our employees and families to flourish.
