In this episode, we learn about communication styles with author Maryanne O’Brien whose book The Elevated Communicator helps us discover how to communicate with clarity, confidence, and kindness. Her approach to communication is people-centric, yet rooted in the drive to build better organizations through elevated leadership. I learned a lot from this conversation, like understanding what my style of communication under stress can do to me and others, and how “flexing” can help enable more productive and meaningful conversations at work.
