Flexing Your Communication Style in the Workplace
In this episode, herdacious host Lorelei chats with Ashley Connell and Leah Steinkirch of the Prowess Project about finding our communication styles and effectively implementing them into our workplaces. Leah and Ashley explain that each of us has a communication wavelength where we thrive the most, and it's important to recognize that our colleagues might not operate at that same frequency. By channeling empathy, aiming for compromise, and keeping our end goal in sight, we learn that the work environment can be efficient even when it’s a melting pot of personalities. It just takes a little bit of awareness and a whole lot of...communication!
Host: Lorelei Gonzalez
Co-host: Ashley Connell and Leah Steinkirch

After graduating from The University of Texas at Austin, Ashley spent twelve years in tech marketing and entrepreneurship in Austin, TX where she saw continuous pressure for women to choose between their careers or their kids. Passionate about women's empowerment, especially in the workplace, both Leah and Ashley work to support women find the “gray area” where they can be both successful professionals and successful caretakers.
