When Leaders Don’t Say What They Think They’re Saying 

Coaching, Leadership, Leadership Communication /

“I swear I communicated that clearly… so why didn’t anyone hear it that way?”  From your perspective, the message was clear. The intention was obvious.

Emotional Intelligence, Leadership, Relationship Intelligence /

We often assume people feel valued because of the big things….  The promotions, the bonuses, the public recognition, the big wins.   Those moments matter, of course.
