Communication Insights

The internet is buzzing with excitement over Comedian Katt Williams' recent sit-down interview with ESPN First Take correspondent Shannon Sharpe on his podcast, Club Shay Shay.

It was a no-holds-barred conversation where Williams didn't hold back, calling out Steve Harvey, Kevin Hart, Cedric the Entertainer, and Rickey Smiley. While the interview was undeniably entertaining, it also offered valuable communication lessons.

I've dissected six communication lessons from the interview in a Facebook post that's gaining momentum. You can check them out here.

But today, I want to take a deeper dive into two key communication strategies from the Katt Williams interview, aiming to empower you as a leader in effective communication.

First, let's talk about reframing questions. In my experience and teachings, I firmly believe that the person in charge during an interview is not the one asking the questions but the one answering them. When you master the art of reframing questions to answer as you desire, you gain control and impact in your interviews.

Secondly, storytelling is a powerful tool. It allows you to drive home your points effectively, making your message memorable and relatable. It's evident on social media as snippets from the interview are flooding the digital landscape.

So, next time you find yourself in an interview situation, remember to reframe those questions and use storytelling to make a lasting impression. When you do this, you'll have the ability to dominate and excel in your interviews.

If becoming a confident and clear communicator is on your agenda for this year, consider joining the waitlist for our communication cohort. Katt Williams' interview amassed 10 million views in just a few days because he understands the power of knowing who he is as a communicator, and you can too.

My favorite part of that interview was when Katt said he doesn't look at things he doesn't want. If he doesn't have something it's because he doesn't want it. I loved that
