In this episode, I share 7 people skills you need to become a great manager or leader. Aspiring managers or leaders who show a high level of technical skill are often seen as competent enough to get promoted into senior levels. However, what often happens with these types of skill-based promotions is that while the individual has the technical skills necessary for the job, they often lack the people skills they need to manage and lead well. And this can lead them to underperform in their new position or for their boss to question whether they’re the right person for the job. I created this episode to help you avoid this dilemma.

For a long time, I felt that I didn’t speak with clarity. I would jump from thought to thought without any intelligent connection. I wouldn’t finish my thoughts properly leaving people with an unfinished thought. Overall, my communication was jumbled and all over the place. I realised that I needed to learn how to speak with more clarity. After spending a long time researching and trialling different methods, I narrowed it down to seven things that helped me the most.
In this episode, I take you through the method that has helped me to speak with more clarity. It includes:
Expanding your vocabularyRemoving unnecessary informationConveying one thought at a timeKeeping the main point in mindReading to improve your speakingWriting to improve your speakingLearning from interviews and documentariesResources that I mentioned in this episode:

To be honest, the corporate world can be rife with office politics. You’ve probably experienced or witnessed office politics at some stage in your career. It’s bad enough when coworkers engage in office politics, but when it’s a leader, that’s a whole different problem.
In this episode, we’re going to look at seven office politics that exist. I also explain why each office politic is bad and what you should do instead. Some of these office politics are common in the workplace, while others are more extreme.
By learning about these office politics, I hope to not only bring your awareness to them, but also help you avoid getting embroiled in these office politics. Because they will have a detrimental effect on you, your leadership reputation and your future career success.
In this episode, I talk about

Communicating with executives is different to communicating with your coworkers. Executives think on a deeper level. Their conversations are more focused. Their reactions are direct. There’s basically no time to waste when communicating with executives. This means that in order to communicate effectively with them, you have to tweak and change your style of communication.
There are a number of ways you can change your communication style so its more tailored for executives. In this episode, I share six different techniques that you can use. Depending on the situation, you may choose to utilise one or a number of them in the one conversation. You’ll learn all about them in this podcast episode!
In this episode, I talk about:
Changing your focus so it aligns with that of executives.Getting to the point. How to answer their questions adequately.Importance of knowing facts and numbers well.Speaking with conviction.How to ask good questions to get noticed.Resources that I mentioned in this episode:

When you want to improve your speaking, it’s important to expand your vocabulary. When you expand your vocabulary, you elevate your mental dictionary and give yourself the chance to use words that are more descriptive, precise and articulate.
But learning new words to expand your vocabulary isn’t just a matter of picking up a dictionary. It requires a more thoughtful process of finding the right vocabulary, recording it, memorising it and using it. When each of these steps are performed in the right way, it will definitely help you to commit new words to your mental dictionary so you can recall them at a later time and improve your speaking.
In this episode, I talk about:
5 Steps to expanding your vocabulary so you can improve your speakingHow to find new vocabulary to learnThe word journals that I use for Japanese, French and English vocabularyDigital apps to learn new vocabulary, record and memorise those wordsEbbinghaus Forgetting CurveMoving new vocabulary from short term to long term memory using Spaced RepetitionUsing new vocabulary to memorise it betterThe first word you should put in your word journalResources that I mentioned in this episode:

Leaders who are good communicators often have a number of go-to phrases that they use throughout their communication. They have phrases that help them jump into conversations during meetings, disagree with people or share a different perspective, and encourage others to elaborate on their idea more. Good communicators don’t shy away from these situations. They are confident in approaching them and the phrases they use help them do that in a sophisticated way.
In this episode, I share with you three very helpful phrases that good communicators use, and you can too. These phrases will help you to:
jump into conversations during meetings so you can add your own thoughts and perspective,disagree with someone or offer a different perspective in a balanced way, andshow interest in what someone has said and encourage them to elaborate more.These are all situations that emerging leaders will encounter. You can do it with confidence and sound sophisticated by using these phrases.
Listen to this episode where I share the exact phrases you should use with examples on how you can use these phrases.

Becoming more assertive in your communication can be challenging. I know from personal experience. I used to be a very passive communicator. I could never say “no”. I could never set boundaries. And I had a lot of difficulty speaking up to share my true thoughts and opinions with people. But then I learned how to be assertive. And my interactions with others completely changed. I was more in control of my deacons. I felt more included in conversations. And I felt my ideas and opinions were being respected.
Learning how to be assertive has changed my life. And in this episode, I give you an insight into what pushed me to become more assertive, the nine steps I took to become more assertive and what happened afterwards.
If you’re someone who want to be more assertive when you communicate, this episode is for you!

Building credibility in the workplace is something all emerging leaders should be concerned with. When you are known as a credible professional, people respect you more. They are eager to hear your ideas and opinions in meetings. And they will often come to you for advice.
Whereas leaders who don’t have credibility, or have very little credibility in the workplace, can’t have as much impact because people won’t believe that they’re truly capable. They will question your ideas and they might immediately dismiss them without consideration.
Credibility in the workplace might seem difficult or even a little cryptic to build. But in reality, it’s through a series of very easy steps that you can build credibility. It’s something any emerging leader is capable of, even you! And in this episode, I reveal three powerful ways you can build credibility at work.
When you start to implement these tactics this year at work, I know you will see and feel that everything you do and say at work has more impact. You will become a credible professional. And you might even see results such as promotions, pay rise or higher level projects.
Listen to this episode and start your year off with the attention and success you deserve.

One of the ways in which we can distinguish average leaders from great leaders is their ability to communicate. Their ability to explain complicated topics in a clear and articulate way. You might think that people who speak in an articulate way, were born like that. But as you’ll discover in this episode, it’s more likely that they’ve been trained - trained to speak in a way that is articulate and eloquent.
Personally, it has been my lifelong mission to be more articulate when I speak. And through this journey, I’ve discovered a 3-step process that has helped me immensely to improve my communication. It’s a process that anybody can put into action, even you. It’s based on the concept that “our speech is a reflection of our thinking”. This means that in order for us to speak clearly, we need to ensure our thoughts are clear and structured first. Once your thoughts are clear in your mind, it will be much easier for you to communicate those thoughts in a clear and articulate way.
If you’ve ever felt that you get your thoughts muddled, you don’t make sense when you speak, or you can’t express what is on your mind in a clear way, then this episode is for you! Discover my 3-step process to articulating your thoughts well in this episode.

Over my time as a leadership coach, I’ve heard from many emerging leaders what appear (to them) to be very valid reasons as to why they’re not ready for leadership. They might say, “I don’t know all I need to know yet”, “I’m not extroverted enough”, or “I don’t have the title of a leader”. These are all myths, or mis-truths, about leadership that WILL hold you back. They keep you playing small. They make you believe that you’re not capable enough to be a leader.
The reality is, anyone can be a leader. But in order to get there, you must overcome these mental hurdles that are in your way. So in this episode, I delve deep into five common myths that could be holding you back from a leadership position. I also share simple strategies to help you get out of these blocks.

As a leader, how can you get your team to respect you? This is a common question that many leaders ask when they begin with a new team or begin a leadership position for the very first time. Why is this important? If your team don’t respect you, they won’t follow you. If they don’t follow you, you can’t make the impact you want as a leader.
An incredible amount of your job as a leader requires the support and power of the people in your team. I bet you thought it was the other way around! To some extent it is. But you rely on your team for so much. If they don’t respect you, they won’t be there to support and help you achieve your goals.
This episode will share five reasons why your team doesn’t respect you, and I also share strategies to help you overcome this lack of respect.
Listen in on the podcast platform of your choice! I hope you enjoy this episode.

Being indecisive or sounding indecisive when you speak is a common hurdle for many emerging leaders. Most of the time, it’s because you’re waiting for approval, permission or you’re fearful of saying the wrong thing. But when you sound indecisive when you speak, especially at work, it makes you look like you lack confidence in yourself - which in turn makes people question your capability at work. Sounding decisive when you speak is an important skill you must develop, and in this episode, you will learn how.
I share with you the one major shift you need to make in your communication to sound more decisive (and this shift is extremely easy!). Then, I share with you two case studies so you can see the indecisive communication in action, understand what is wrong with it, and learn how to change it.

Empathy is critical in leadership. If you’re on-top of articles or books in the leadership space, you will no doubt know this. Empathy is discussed all of the time. But how can you build it? How can you show more empathy as a leader? In this episode, I break down this somewhat “mystical” concept of empathy and give you three easy steps to show more empathy as a leader. Empathy is not difficult to show. It is absolutely within your reach. You don’t need a Ph.d to show more empathy at work. And in this episode, you will learn how.

Leaders need to be professional. This helps them to establish trust, credibility and a strong reputation in business. But what does “professionalism” mean when to comes to leadership. Am I talking about outfit or appearance? Not in this episode. In this episode, when I refer to professionalism in leadership, I’m talking about honesty, respect, accountability, communication and more. I’m talking about basic human traits that help you better interact with other people.
You might ask yourself, “Well if they’re basic, don’t I already know about them?”. Maybe. But chances are you need a reminder or a different perspective to really cement those principles in your mind and help you become a better leader. If that’s what you’re interested in, then listen to this episode.
