Leadership Communication Coaching
Angie Flynn-McIver
For several years, I sent out a blog to readers a few times a week. These posts gave pointers about how to practice, shared relevant stories, and provided a way for people to connect with my coaching approach. In 2022, I wrote my book, Before You Say Anything, which brought many of these ideas together in one place. The blog posts have continued to resonate with clients and readers, and they're useful as a quick reminder, so I'm including them here!
“You have to talk so they can hear you.”
A client said this recently. She wasn’t referring to volume, although that’s true, too.
She meant that we all have to think about how to shape and craft our message so we have the best chance of being heard. Who are you talking to? What do they need? What are they worried about? What do they hope for?
We can’t know the exact answers to all of those questions, but spending some time thinking about them helps us position our communication.
