Today, I’m joined by Caron Martinez, Senior Director of the Center for Professionalism & Communications at American University’s Kogod School of Business. Caron brings rich experience—from her early diplomatic roles at U.S. embassies to her current work shaping power skills in future business leaders.

In this episode, we explore how preparation and empathy fuel effective communication, how AI intersects with emotional intelligence and creativity in the classroom and workplace, and Caron’s process for coaching powerful feedback and adaptability. 

Whether you’re navigating generational differences, leadership transitions, or the rise of AI in the workplace, this conversation offers practical strategies to elevate how you connect and communicate. 

Let’s dive in.
