The best communication tools don’t change who you are — they reveal you more clearly.

🎙 Episode 7: The Communication Tools We Should Have Learned Sooner

This week, I’m joined by Mike Finnegan, Head of WealthManagement Specialized Services, former CFO for Vanguard Americas, and former Head of Strategy for Vanguard International.

Mike’s career spans global strategy, finance, and risk management, with experience at Vanguard, Target Corporation, and Independence Blue Cross. He has also served as chief of staff to Vanguard International's Managing Director. Beyond the titles, Mike brings a thoughtful, practicalapproach to communication that makes him an incredible guide for anyone wanting to speak with clarity and confidence.

Here’s what you can expect in this episode:

• Communication is something we can all learn and grow in, no matter where we start.

• Clarity matters more than chasing perfection or sounding flawless.

• The best tools are the ones that actually work in our real, everyday conversations.

• The struggles we face in speaking up are shared by many, and they can be unlearnedwith time.

• Confidence and connection grow naturally when we keep practicing and showing up with our voice.

We’ve all had moments where we wished we had the right words or tools sooner.

Looking back, which communication skill do you wish you had learned earlier, and how might it have changed the way you show up today?

Share your experience with us, we’d love to hear!
