How to Communicate With Confidence & Ease (From Harvard Business School’s #1 Professor)

This episode will completely change the way you think about communication.

What you learn will boost your influence and make you more confident.

If you…

Overthink what you said hours after a meeting,

Freeze up when it’s your turn to talk,

Or want to sound more confident without faking it…

This is your blueprint for better conversations at work, in relationships, and in life.

Today, Mel sits down with Dr. Alison Wood Brooks: Harvard professor, researcher, author, and one of the world’s leading experts on the science of communication.

Her course at Harvard Business School, all about communication, is one of the most popular classes there – and in this episode she shares the exact methods she teaches to students at HBS.

You’re going to learn the exact tools and strategies that will help you communicate with more confidence, ease, and clarity.

You'll learn:

-What makes conversation feel so hard and how to make it easier
-The #1 mistake people make when they talk
-How to feel more confident even when you're anxious, blanking out, or unsure of what to say
-Why we misread people constantly (and how to stop doing it)

-How to recover from awkward moments or miscommunication

-The skill every great leader, parent, and partner has in common

Whether you want to build better relationships, stop second-guessing yourself, or speak up with more purpose and ease, this episode will give you the science, tools, and confidence to do it.
