TCSP 49 -- Top Talent, Leaders & Trust with Allison Shapira

Season #1 Episode #49

Top Talent, Leaders & Trust with Allison Shapira | Let’s start with a fundamental question:  What do leaders really do? In the words of the legendary John P. Kotter: “They don’t make plans. They don’t solve problems. They don’t even organize people. What leaders do is prepare organizations for change and help them cope as they struggle through it.” So that’s what leaders really do. They do the work of preparing for and coping with change.  With the unending changes that have been thrust upon the world, it’s no wonder leaders are under a tremendous burden now. And it’s no wonder so many are losing sleep as a result! Now if you’re a regular listener of The Counterfeit Sleep® Podcast, you know we don’t want anyone losing sleep! And so we continue to support CEOs and business leaders by bringing them the ideas and insights they need to succeed in turbulent times. We feature the best of the best in corporate leadership—the thought leaders and the innovators—the ones the CEOs call when they need help.  Whether you’re the CEO of a multinational corporation or the CEO of your family, each episode gives you what you need to lead so you can get the sleep you need. So what do you need to lead through change? Of course, high performance sleep™ is your foundation. But beyond that, is there a key skill that separates the highly successful leaders from the rest? The answer is a simple one: communication.  And if you hear that word and sum it up as “Communication is what we say and how we say it”, you’re right—that’s true.  But there’s more.  Communication has an end goal, and that goal is to build trust. And you achieve that end goal…that trust…when you communicate, but only if you communicate with impact. And that’s exactly what we get into in this next installment of our Business Impact Series. Our guest is Allison Shapira, a leader in Leadership Communication. Allison is the author of Speak with Impact: How to Command the Room and Influence Others . She works with leaders to help them speak clearly, concisely, and confidently to build the trust that propels others to carry forth their vision.
