- [Re-broadcast] Data Tells and Stories Sell
Leaders rarely need to sell physical products or services to their teams, and that doesn't mean they don't sell. Instead of physical goods and services, Leaders sell ideas, concepts, commitment, motivation, and focus. Learning to Talk Like a Leader often means learning how to sell, and how you speak – what you speak about and how you say it – often makes the difference between getting buy-in and creating frustration. In this episode, you'll learn a key concept for selling ideas that you can start applying right away.

8 min - Remember to Close the Communication Loop
Communication is two-way: message sent and message received. Sometimes the confirmation that a message was received is automatic. Sometimes it is not, and we have to make an effort to send that "loop closing" message. In this episode, I'm looking at times when "closing the loop" does not happen automatically, and what you can do about it.

This either-or viewpoint creates a communication problem that I'm addressing in this week's episode.
