Speak As Well As You Think

How to Coach Good Communicators


Listen Later

Sometimes the hardest people to coach aren’t those who struggle with communication; it's the ones who think they’ve already mastered it. Not because they lack skill, but because their blind spots are often more ingrained.

In this episode, we'll take years of experience and explore:

  • The Blind Spots of “Good Communicators” — from dominating conversations to resisting change.
  • Coaching Without Clashing with Ego — using rapport, curiosity, and concrete evidence to open minds.

Whether you lead, manage, or mentor, you’ll learn practical ways to help even your best communicators keep getting better.
