This month we're keeping it open-ended and talking through some of the biggest communication struggles each of us has faced (that some of you may have too!).

We touch on:

1. Practicing the skills when you don't have 'formal presentations'
2. Speaking up and finding the confidence to know you deserve a seat at the table
3. Discussing the impact of both the message and your physical and vocal skills - yes, your listeners are interested in the message, but the skills will determine how much they retain

Welcome back to another year of the Speak As Well As You Think Podcast!

This month we're covering social media and how to think about it through the lens of business communications. We'll discuss how social media has changed the way we communicate, the impact it has on business (from the business's side as well as the consumer/client), and the pros and cons of using it.
