Connection Over Perfection: The Secret to Powerful Communication ✨ Feeling overwhelmed before a big presentation or conversation? It’s easy to get caught up in a mental checklist: ✅ Did I prepare enough? ✅ Do I have the right talking points? ✅ Will I seem credible? But here’s the truth: none of it matters if you’re not connecting. If your audience isn’t engaged, they’re not listening. In our workshops, we stress this: connection beats perfection. At work, we often feel pressured to “be professional” and nail every detail, but sometimes that makes us sound like… 🤖 corporate robots. And that’s NOT the connection your audience craves. What’s the secret? Focus on presence over polish. Here’s how: 💡 Slow down: Take a breath, look around, and read the room. When you’re intentional, people notice. 🗣️ Be conversational: Does your language feel natural? Skip the buzzwords and talk like you would to a friend—even with experts. 👀 Notice your audience: Communication is two-way. Are they leaning in? Nodding? Adjust your approach to meet their energy. 🤝 Talk with, not at: Share a personal insight, ask a question, or simply acknowledge the moment. So the next time you feel overwhelmed, remember this: Slow down. Notice. Connect. Everything else will follow. 🌟 #CommunicationSkills #Leadership #Storytelling

Excellent communication tips for common problems we are all guilty of sometimes.
⁉️ Do you do any of the Top 5️⃣ Toxic Communication Habits⁉️ Let's detox your communication habits together! Angela Haupt wrote a Time Magazine article about these (and quoted me in the article a few times). Here are 5 highlights. 1️⃣ Do you make conversations all about YOU? Learn how better conversation comes when there's an exchange of ideas, not just a monologue about yourself. 2️⃣ Are you a conversation bulldozer, interrupting others incessantly? 🚜 Discover how good communication comes from listening - not rushing to get your point across. 3️⃣ Do you ramble on endlessly, losing listeners along the way? 🗺️ Unearth the power of crisp, concise communication that keeps your audience engaged. Take short talking-turns. Don't monologue. 4️⃣ Caught up in distracted listening? Instead, listen completely: eyes, ears, focus, some nodding, etc. 🗣️ 5️⃣ Are you guilty of "one-upping" during conversations? Learn to celebrate others' achievements rather than viewing conversations as competitions. 🏆 Once you spot your own bad habits, apply tips like these and those explained in the full video.

Some simple yet effective communication advice for anyone dating or just trying to connect with others on the new Netflix show The Later Daters.
I was thrilled to start watching The Later Daters with Logan Ury—not just because I love dating shows, but also because I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Logan a few times over the years. What I love most about the show is the simple, practical communication advice she shares with the people she's coaching. Here are two tips that really stood out to me: 1. Skip the small talk: Try in medias res—jump straight into a story without a lot of preamble. For example: “On the drive here, I listened to the most fascinating podcast…” 2. Balance the conversation: If you feel like you’re talking too much, take a sip of water, pause, and give the other person space to jump in. These are such simple yet effective ways to connect more deeply. Have you tried either of these techniques?

I had so much fun coaching Ron Eddings of Hacker Valley Media to prepare for his keynotes for CyberSecurity Awareness Month. So I was thrilled when he volunteered to share his experience of working with Lighthouse Communications (LHC). Thanks Ron!

Thanks for the shout out @mathieuyuill!
Your story told so everyone gets it. Marketing and communications solutions for small, medium businesses and nonprofits.
Why use other voices for internal communications? 🎤➡️👥 Third-party verification works in lots of ways. Having testimonials about your work helps potential new customers gain confidence in your abilities, but what about your own employees? For three years, I've been using Anne Ricketts amazing video on creating compelling openings for presentations. I teach once a week at Centennial College and I could deliver this just as easily as Anne does, but giving students (in this instance) another voice helps break up the monotony of my solo voice, it brings increased engagement because of the novelty and allows me to put more time into creating other interactive classroom elements. This premise rings true in the workplace as well. Where can you use a third-party to communicate/speak/train/deliver messaging to your staff that would increase employee engagement or break up the monotony of one voice? Thanks again, Anne, for guest speaking via your YouTube video! And for the record, my students love your earrings!

🍂 Fall feels like a season of mixed energies—wrapping up, slowing down, and yet planning for what’s next. In the midst of it all, one underrated way to improve our communication is to leave space in our conversations. Here’s the idea: when we talk, we often rush to fill every pause, especially when things feel intense or uncertain. But leaving space—those small moments of silence—can be surprisingly powerful. It gives our words more weight, lets others truly process what’s said, and even invites people to share more openly. This season, try an experiment: allow for a little pause after key points in meetings or one-on-one conversations. See how it changes the dynamic. You might find that when we give people a bit more room, they respond with insights, ideas, or even just comfort that wouldn’t have come out otherwise. #Communication #Leadership #Listening
