Progressing Lives Through Unlocking Effective Communication with Sara Hannah, Ineke Leemans and Petra Keuchenius (Part 1/4)

Welcome to the first of a special four-part mini-series of the Progressing Lives Everywhere Podcast - Progressing Lives Through Unlocking Effective Communication

 

Your host Andy Beard is joined by international experts who explore the importance of effective communication in business and society at large, responding to claims by many commentators, such as number three ranked CEO in the world Bob Chapman, that the language of business is broken.

 

This is Part 1, where we meet Sara Hannah of the Barry Wehmiller Group who incidentally, has worked closely with Bob Chapman. Sara explains how a World-Class organisation like Barry Wehmiller communicates and how through the Barry Wehmiller university, they equip their employees with the skills necessary to become better communicators.

We also hear from Petra and Ineke from the Potential Project who will introduce us to the concept of the MSC leader and share examples of how they communicate. This episode is an informative and important listen for anyone looking for actionable insights that can be applied to both your work and personal life.

 

Later in the series, you can hear from high-performance podcaster and author of Liquid Thinking, Professor Damien Hughes, as well as Esther Crichton, and psycho-linguist Felicity Wingrove, so stay tuned for parts two, three and four.
