Guest: Amiel Handelsman, Elite Executive Coach
We all know communication is key for leadership. But HOW we communicate is tougher. And one simple misunderstanding can make the difference between success and disaster.
Guest Amiel Handelsman has observed and codified eleven concepts that will move your communications from good to great. He shares them with host Maureen Metcalf in this episode.
Here's what Amiel and Maureen cover:
- The ways changing your conversation style can change people’s minds (including your own!);
- The importance of “The Pause,” and how that moment of silence can save your message; and
- Why you should assume the person you’re talking to knows more than you do.
Other episodes you'll enjoy:

- Communication Skills Every Leader Needs with Jonathan Reitz
