About the Episode
LifeBlood: We talked about how to be a better communicator, how Sandra got started her career as a writing coach where she developed a program to help corporate leaders get better at writing remotely.
We discussed how she developed her framework of the Four Pillars of Effective Communication, and how each is integral to your success, how they can be used by anyone who is interested in becoming a better communicator.
We discussed the challenges of public speaking and not wanting to say the wrong thing, how difficult it can be for people whom English is a second language to feel good about their messaging, and how cross-generational communication can be intimidating and what to do about it.
We talked about how the key to all of it is to set a goal and to work towards achieving it by practicing with Dr. Sandra Folk, high-performance business coach, helping corporate executives become better communicators so they can get their message across no matter what the medium and no matter who they’re communicating with.
