Through a career anecdote, Mark points out the consequences of leadership that’s rooted in authority—damaged trust, strained relationships, and high turnover—and explains why treating team members as people rather than subordinates is essential in today’s knowledge-based economy.

Mark introduces three actionable behaviors for leading like a person: listening intently to understand issues fully, communicating clearly to build trust, and recognizing contributions in meaningful ways. These habits do not only strengthen teams but also foster environments where people thrive.

The episode also tackles the challenge of leading authentically in cultures that reward hierarchy. Mark provides insights on whether those environments align with a leader’s values and shares a success story of a leader who embraced these principles to build a solid team.

Mark’s final takeaway? Leadership is a choice. Be intentional about the legacy you want to create.

Quotes

“The times that I had the most regrets about were the times when I treated people less well than they deserve. I didn't treat people like the people they deserve to be treated like.” (01:56 | Mark Carpenter)
“If you’re not listening intently, you are likely, as a leader, to come up with a brilliant solution to the wrong problem.” (11:45 | Mark Carpenter)
“You can’t hold people accountable for behaviors that you haven’t made clear to them. And so, communicating intentionally is being really clear about what those expectations are.” (16:13 | Mark Carpenter)
“Be intentional and conscious about who you want to be as a leader and what legacy you want to leave behind as a leader.” (25:34 | Mark Carpenter)

EP30: Commuting with a Click - An Experiment in Spatial Working... that Worked! 28:09

منذ 10 أيام28:09

28:09

Can remote teams recreate those spontaneous office moments, the quick chats and casual check-ins, without stepping into a building? Karin Reed sits down with Lisette Sutherland, director of Collaboration Superpowers, to talk about spatial working, a fresh approach to remote work that brings a real sense of presence to virtual teams. Instead of relying on scheduled meetings, these digital office spaces create opportunities for spontaneous interactions. Teams can see who is around, drop in for quick conversations, and feel more connected throughout the day. Lisette shares her own experience testing these tools, including Welo, and explains why they offer something that video calls and Slack messages cannot. She also digs into the biggest hurdles, why teams hesitate to try new tech, what makes adoption tricky, and how to introduce it in a way that actually sticks. If remote work feels disconnected or overly structured, this episode offers a different way forward. Could spatial working be the key to rebuilding team culture and making virtual collaboration feel effortless?

EP29: Be a Better Communicator in 2025 25:51

منذ 24 يومًا25:51

25:51

Most New Year’s resolutions don’t last, but a few small shifts in how you communicate can lead to meaningful, lasting change. Karin Reed shares three communication resolutions designed to help you show up with more confidence, clarity, and impact. She breaks down why winging it is a gamble, how listening can be a superpower, and why your voice deserves to be heard. Through personal stories and insights, she challenges common habits that hold people back—like underpreparing for high-stakes moments, tuning out instead of truly listening, and staying silent when their perspective matters. Whether you want to be a stronger leader, a more effective speaker, or simply more intentional in daily conversations, Karin offers a fresh approach to communication resolutions that actually stick. Quotes “I will not wing it when it matters the most.” (02:49 | Karin Reed) “The best leaders that I’ve worked with all share this very common belief, this common trait. They believe that it’s more important for them to be good listeners than to be good speakers.” (08:36 | Karin Reed) “I’m gonna tell you a quote from the book, ‘People Skills,’ which is an oldie but a goodie. It’s written by Dr. Robert Bolton. And he says, ‘The quality of your friendships, the cohesiveness of your family relationships, your effectiveness at work, these hinge in large measure on your ability to listen.’” (15:45 | Karin Reed) “Your point of view is worth sharing and might inspire others to share their stories as well.” (20:40 | Karin Reed) “One of my previous guests, Jenn Chase, said preparation is the antidote to imposter syndrome for her. I think that is a great mantra to keep in mind.” (23:35 | Karin Reed) Links Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

Great leadership starts with connecting as a person, not commanding from a position. In this episode, Karin Reed is joined by Mark Carpenter, the best-selling author of “Lead Like a Person, Not a Position,” to discuss how leaders can prioritize human connection over authority. Mark shares the personal regrets that fueled his mission to help leaders avoid the pitfalls of positional power and lead with empathy and humanity. Through a career anecdote, Mark points out the consequences of leadership that’s rooted in authority—damaged trust, strained relationships, and high turnover—and explains why treating team members as people rather than subordinates is essential in today’s knowledge-based economy.

EP27: Course Corrections: Communicating Change 31:01

منذ عام واحد31:01

"If we're going to communicate something to anyone, particularly a large organization, we've got to ensure that they are aware of the condition that we're in, aware of the change." says John Cerqueira, founder of Pinwheel Associates. In this episode, John joins Karin Reed to explore the art of leading through change and communicating that well, offering strategies to ensure that transitions are not only understood but embraced. John introduces the ADKAR model—Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement—as a practical framework for engaging employees and sustaining progress. Can leaders balance the logistics of change with the human element? John believes they can. By prioritizing transparency, fostering buy-in, and reinforcing initiatives, leaders can turn resistance into alignment. He shares a case study from a global pharmaceutical company that successfully implemented change through thoughtful communication and consistent follow-through. John also reflects on his personal experience running for public office, applying principles like gratitude, service, and abundance to manage uncertainty and build trust. Whether you’re leading a team through a significant shift or planning for future changes, this episode offers practical advice to help you inspire confidence, manage uncertainty, and create meaningful impact. Quotes "If we're going to communicate something to anyone, particularly a large organization, we've got to ensure that they are aware of the condition that we're in, aware of the change." (9:44 | John Cerqueira) “The fundamental model that I rely on is a model of call it: gratitude, service, and abundance, to offset and neutralize the natural fear of change and to make way for us to operate in terms of service, which is really the path, the motive that allows us to show up as our best selves.” (23:05 | John Cerqueira) "It is super important to recognize the human emotional element. We are emotional creatures, not just because we've been groomed to be that way from a physiological perspective." (28:37 | John Cerqueira) “Recognizing that every individual, when they experience change, is prone to feeling threatened is particularly important. And I don't mean you have to pull punches, but just recognizing that to manage your messaging, recognizing that to manage the frustration that I see a lot of leaders feeling when they think, ‘Gosh, this is so simple. Why doesn't everyone just follow this path?’ is helpful for everybody.” (29:25 | John Cerqueira) Links Connect with John Cerqueira: Website: pinwheelassociates.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-cerqueira-5a22963/ Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

“One of my favorite things about doing this podcast has been the opportunity to learn new things. And I hope that you've had the same opportunity as well in listening to these conversations. I'm really excited to continue the conversation next year with all of you,” shares Karin Reed, as she reflects on the podcast’s journey. She expresses heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support from listeners and takes a look back at some of the most impactful moments from episodes from the past year. Karin revisits her conversation with Matt Abrahams, who reframed small talk as a meaningful opportunity for connection, and J.D. Schramm, who highlighted the power of storytelling to make data relatable. She also shares Guy Kawasaki’s perspective on taking action and making decisions right, Dorie Clark’s advice to pursue what captivates you for personal and professional fulfillment, and Julia Korn’s strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome through vulnerability and intentional self-reflection. This episode is both a celebration of growth and a source of inspiration for the year ahead. Karin invites listeners to carry these insights forward and share their communication challenges for future episodes as she prepares to welcome new guests and fresh perspectives for 2025. Quotes "We have to rebrand small talk. Big things happen during small talk. We connect, we collaborate, we build trust, future relationships." (01:43 | Matt Abrahams) "You first have to understand the data and then you have to figure out a narrative that lets other people understand it." (06:07 | J.D. Schramm) "If you want to be remarkable, the way you do that is you make a difference. You make the world a better place." (09:11 | Guy Kawasaki) “If you're optimizing for interesting, you're choosing things that are genuinely meaningful and cool to you. It doesn't have to be meaningful to society in the sense of like you're saving a life every day, but I mean, it could be. It's something that is interesting enough to you that it almost feels like its own reward.” (Dorie Clark | 14:05) "Imposter syndrome loves shame. That's its breeding ground. It loves secrecy."

EP25: The Mistakes that Make Us 34:44

منذ عام واحد34:44

“Leaders who lead by example set the tone for others to admit mistakes,” says Mark Graban, the creator of the “My Favorite Mistake” podcast and author of “The Mistakes That Make Us.” How can leaders move from blaming to learning? In this episode, Mark joins Karin Reed to discuss how confident humility—the skill of admitting mistakes while preserving credibility—can transform workplace culture into a space for innovation and growth instead of fear and judgment. Mark reflects on lessons from his podcast, where his guests share how they turned their missteps into meaningful progress. He challenges the idea that punishment leads to improvement, and suggests that it often results in hidden errors and repeated problems. Can mistakes be viewed as opportunities to build stronger systems rather than as failures? This episode points out how psychological safety, openness, and systemic thinking can empower teams to speak up, address issues, and create lasting change. Whether you’re leading a team or reflecting on your own mistakes, Mark and Karin's conversation offers insights that can help you transform your setbacks into success. Quotes “There’s this combination I’d call confident humility. You have to be confident enough to realize that sharing a story won’t ruin your reputation, but it might benefit others who are afraid or uncomfortable admitting mistakes to themselves or their employees.” (05:47 | Mark Graban) “Mistakes are, by definition, unintentional. We’re doing something we think is the right thing, and it could be due to a mental lapse, a physical slip-up, or a bad assumption. A mistake, large or small, is by definition unintended. When we punish mistakes, it teaches people to hide and cover them up. Then, we’re doomed to repeat them or fail to learn from them.” (10:54 | Mark Graban) “Leaders who lead by example set the tone for others to admit mistakes.” (15:21 | Mark Graban) “There’s a lesson from entrepreneurship of stating your assumptions and realizing, ‘Okay, we’re going to go do something now. We’re testing an assumption. We could be wrong, and that’s okay.’ So, I think if we almost expect mistakes to happen, especially if we’re entrepreneurs or doing new things, launching a new podcast, we almost have to expect it, invite it, and reflect and learn the best we can.” (32:47 | Mark Graban) Links Connect with Mark Graban: Website: http://markgraban.com/ Book: https://mistakesbook.com/ Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

EP24: Using GenAI for Powerful Presentations 24:59

منذ عام واحد24:59

“AI is there to support storytelling, but not take it over,” says Maggie Miller, Speaker Dynamics’ communication coach and tech specialist, as she joins Karin Reed to discuss how generative AI, like ChatGPT, is reshaping presentation skills. Maggie shares how tools like ChatGPT save time, spark creativity, and even offer real-time feedback for presenters looking to refine their delivery. Can AI enhance your storytelling without losing the human connection? Maggie believes it can. By treating AI as a “sous chef”—a helper for the heavy lifting—presenters can stay focused on authenticity and emotional connection. She also addresses ethical considerations, including data privacy and the importance of fact-checking, while offering practical tips on crafting effective prompts to get the most out of AI. Starting small is key. Maggie suggests taking small steps, experimenting with AI for simple tasks, and gradually discovering its potential. For those ready to take the next step, Karin introduces Speaker Dynamics’ latest offering: “Using Generative AI for Powerful Presentations,” a program Maggie designed to help individuals and teams confidently enhance their communication skills using AI. Discover more at www.speakerdynamics.com/bonuscontent/ Quotes “I think there are really three main benefits for using generative AI for creating powerful presentations… There are tools out there that give you a platform to practice presenting and get real time feedback. And so, this is just another way that you can use these types of tools to become a better presenter.” (04:24 | Maggie Milles) “AI is there to support storytelling, but not take it over… Think of it as a sous chef—it’s really there to help you with those time-consuming tasks so you can focus more on the big picture.” (07:52 | Maggie Miller) “The art is really about being very detailed about what you want. So, let’s say that you wanted to create an outline for a presentation. If you’re writing that prompt, you want to put in there: what is the topic that you want to be talking about? Do you have any time constraints or character constraints that it needs to consider? Are there any other nuances that you want it to take into consideration? I would say the biggest one that I always add to my prompts is: who is my audience?” (19:13 | Maggie Miller) “I always say start small. Go to ChatGPT and ask it a simple question… The thing about ChatGPT and these other tools is the more you use it, the more it starts to mimic your behavior, whether you think that’s good or bad. The more you work with it, you’re basically training it to be more like yourself… Don’t be afraid. Give it a try.” (20:41 | Maggie Miller) Links Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

EP23: Don't Give Away Your Power When Virtual 25:04

منذ عام واحد25:04

25:04

Retaining your power in virtual communication means building a presence that resonates and holds influence, even from behind a screen. So, how do we adjust our approach to make sure our impact truly connects in virtual settings? In this episode, Karin Reed unpacks what it takes to communicate powerfully online. Reflecting on a colleague’s observation that 80% of people appear significantly more powerful in person than online, Karin explains how small adjustments can elevate virtual presence. True influence in the digital space is created by intentionally shaping how you show up. Karin shares five practices for retaining power online—from staying visible and speaking up to creating a warm, engaging atmosphere with small talk. Do you find it easy to connect through a screen, or does it feel like a barrier? Karin suggests that everything—your position on camera, lighting, sound, even background—impacts your digital impression. Treating the camera as a direct link to others can transform virtual interactions and create a sense of connection and trust that feels almost face-to-face. Focusing energy through the lens is more than a technical adjustment; it can powerfully build genuine connections. For anyone aiming to leave a lasting impression in the virtual room, Karin’s insights offer a fresh perspective on communicating with strength and authenticity online. Quotes “In order to be powerful in the medium that you have available to you, you have to understand that there’s nuance and things that you have to change in order to ensure that you can have as much presence as possible in the room as that room allows you.” (02:20 | Karin Reed) “Recognize if your goal is to be powerful in that room. So if your goal is to have influence and impact over the decisions that are being made or to inspire people to take action, having the video on is a critical component of that.” (03:16 | Karin Reed) “Your digital impression might be the only impression that people have of you. So you owe it to them to make sure it’s a good one. You want them to be able to communicate with you as easily as possible without distraction, but you owe it to yourself because you want what is appearing on the screen here to be a good reflection of your personal leadership brand, a personal leadership brand that you want to be powerful as.” (14:11 | Karin Reed) “Focus on connecting with your conversation partners—not just spouting information at them, but connecting with them by injecting humanity into the way you interact and encouraging conversation and dialogue. Be as authentic as you possibly can be… The camera does change everything, but it should not change you.” (21:56 | Karin Reed) Links Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

EP22: The Science of Personal Power with Chris Lipp 30:37

“Personal power is something that starts from the inside and radiates out,” says Chris Lipp, the author of “The Science of Personal Power.” He joins Karin Reed to discuss the core of what it really means to harness your own power. How do we influence others and lead effectively when power isn’t about titles or control but something we cultivate internally? Chris explains that personal power is rooted in our beliefs about ourselves—and how owning that can change everything. Through engaging stories, including an example of Disney CEO Bob Iger’s rise to leadership, Chris shows how taking responsibility, even in tough moments, strengthens our power and earns respect. But what happens when we give our power away? Chris introduces the “four horsemen” of blame, proving ourselves, reactivity, and seeking approval—behaviors that can slowly chip away at the confidence we project. Are we inadvertently undermining our own power without even realizing it? Tune in to gain practical insights on how to show up with strength in everyday situations. Whether you’re overcoming a challenging work environment or leading a team, Chris’s advice on building personal power from within is a game-changer. If you’ve ever wondered how to command respect without forcing it, this episode is for you! Quotes “Personal power is something that starts from the inside and radiates out.” (03:14 | Chris Lipp) “People who feel powerful on the inside, they take responsibility for things because they feel they have control on the outside.” (05:56 | Chris Lipp) “In the process of trying to persuade somebody, you’re actually showing that you lack power, and then they’re going to take you less seriously.” (08:42 | Chris Lipp) “Personal power is our own belief in our capability to create impact. So, it’s our belief about ourselves and our own capability to create impact. And of course, the platitude, when we believe in ourselves, we can do anything, but it's scientifically accurate, which is when we believe in ourselves, we show up differently in a way that makes everybody else believe in us.” (12:22 | Chris Lipp) “The more we really look to the outside and wait for the outside to empower us, the more we're actually giving our power away.” (28:55 | Chris Lipp) Links Connect with Chris Lipp: https://courses.speakvalue.com/book-bonuses Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

EP21: Leading Yourself with Elizabeth Lotardo 25:42

منذ عام واحد25:42

25:42

“Leading yourself is about controlling the controllable. And sometimes that is your own mindset and only your own mindset,” says Elizabeth Lotardo, a consultant, LinkedIn Learning instructor, and author of “Leading Yourself.” She joins Karin Reed in this episode to talk about the power of self-leadership and how it enables anyone, no matter their role, to take charge of their work life. She focuses on the idea that while you can’t always control external factors, like your boss or workplace changes, you can control how you respond. How often do we let external pressures dictate how we feel or perform? Elizabeth challenges that mindset and encourages listeners to focus on what’s within their power—shifting their perspective, building stronger relationships, and managing their own behaviors. She shares practical tips for dealing with things like micromanagers, fears about AI taking over jobs, and the stress of reorganizations, pointing out that a proactive mindset can change everything. This episode offers a simple but impactful takeaway: “You’re never powerless.” By leading yourself, you can take control of how you show up, even in tough situations. It’s a skill that not only helps you overcome the challenges of work but one that you can carry with you for life. Quotes “Leading yourself is about controlling the controllable. And sometimes that is your own mindset and only your own mindset.” (02:34 | Elizabeth Lotardo) “Leading yourself is a simple shift, but it’s not easy to execute. When you do, it shows up in a million little ways. But the ultimate crux of it is shifting from worrying about what’s outside of our control to focusing on what’s inside of our control. And that is empowering.” (03:37 | Elizabeth Lotardo) “AI is so scary. ‘I wonder if it’s going to take my job? Both of us are in the content business. That is a very real threat. This is my chance to lean into my uniquely human skills. This is my chance to build more authentic relationships. This is my chance to define my voice even more specifically. Pointing your brain to what you can control instead of sitting in what you can’t is the only way you’re going to lift out of that.” (09:23 | Elizabeth Lotardo) “The takeaway of leading yourself is you are never powerless. Even in the face of rapidly changing technology, even if you’re working for a leader who isn’t great, even if your company is a little bit behind, you are never powerless. The way you show up for your mindset, your behaviors, and your relationships has the biggest impact on the success you do or do not achieve.” (23:56 | Elizabeth Lotardo) Links Connect with Elizabeth Lotardo: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethlotardo/ Website: https://www.elizabethlotardo.com Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

EP20: Mission Possible: Fight Imposter Syndrome with Julia Korn 24:20

منذ عام واحد24:20

“What do Michelle Obama, Sheryl Sandberg, and potentially you all have in common? Imposter syndrome,” begins Karin Reed. She’s joined by Julia Korn, founder and CEO of The Authenticity Guide, to dive into how widespread imposter syndrome truly is—impacting 70% of people across all demographics. It’s a universal feeling, and Julia explains that—contrary to popular belief—imposter syndrome is not exclusive to women. This misconception arises from the term’s origins in a study conducted at an all-female university in the 1970s, which led to the mistaken belief that it predominantly affects women. Karin and Julia talk about how increased self-awareness can sometimes make imposter syndrome worse that causes us to doubt our abilities even more. Julia offers practical tips for navigating these feelings, highlighting the power of vulnerability and taking small steps to build confidence. How can you embrace these moments of self-doubt and turn them into opportunities for growth? This episode encourages listeners to embrace imposter syndrome and turn it into a tool for building confidence through self-affirmation and solid preparation. Tune in to gain practical, useful strategies to foster authenticity and confidence in your professional life. Quotes “Imposter syndrome goes beyond just a lack of confidence. It really is this deep feeling of phoniness, of feeling like you’re faking it, and of feeling unintelligent or incapable, despite evidence of high achievement. You might find that you’re highly motivated to achieve and have a lot of history of doing really well, but you still have this fear of being exposed as a fraud.” (01:43 | Julia Korn) “I think the biggest preface that comes to mind with imposter syndrome and speaking is, “Who am I to…?” Who am I to get on stage in front of all these people and tell this story? Who am I to command the attention of all these people? I’m ordinary. I’m just me. We tend to really discount the power that our own voice and our own stories have.” (10:50 | Julia Korn) “Imposter syndrome loves shame; that’s its breeding ground. It loves secrecy. Feelings of imposter syndrome will grow when you keep them as a deep, dark secret and feel like you’re the only one suffering from them…. The thing that the data shows works the most is actually the simplest: getting vulnerable and simply talking about it.” (17:08 | Julia Korn) “The question I get most often from clients is, ‘How do I build confidence?’ I want to give your listeners a little answer: don’t wait for confidence to come to act. Engage in small, scary, risky things now. Watch your confidence increase just a little bit, and let that lead to the next small risk. Think of confidence as a staircase that builds over time, like a muscle, versus a binary state of ‘I have it’ or ‘I don’t have it.’” (21:59 | Julia Korn) Links Connect with Julia Korn: Website: www.theauthenticityguide.com Emerging Leader Collective Application: https://4mlz9tjnoss.typeform.com/to/eyTYdtxp?typeform-source=www.theauthenticityguide.com Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

EP19: Giving Feedback without Fear 35:09

“It’s never going to be easy to have crucial conversations. They’re difficult, and nothing makes them simple,” says Emily Gregory, co-author of “Crucial Conversations.” In this episode, Emily joins Karin Reed to discuss how to navigate tough discussions, especially when delivering negative feedback during performance reviews. Emily breaks down the realities of high-stakes conversations—those situations where opposing views and strong emotions come into play—and how they can shape relationships and outcomes. How can leaders better prepare for these moments? How does understanding the other person’s perspective create a more productive conversation? This episode offers leaders practical advice on maintaining psychological safety and handling tough conversations with sensitivity. Emily also highlights the importance of clear communication, especially in virtual settings where non-verbal cues are lacking. Tune in as Karin and Emily discuss how to enhance your leadership communication and foster a more supportive and engaging work environment. Quotes “Crucial conversations probably aren’t ever going to be comfortable. They’re hard and nothing makes them easy. We want to have a connection and be in alignment. If we could let go of the goal of being comfortable, we would actually achieve the goal of connecting.” (03:57 | Emily Gregory) “Our work has found that people don’t become defensive or feel unsafe because of what you’re saying—the content of your message. They become defensive or feel unsafe because of their perception of your intent, right? So, it’s not what you’re saying, it’s why they think you’re saying it. Their perception of your intent is going to be the number one factor that creates or destroys safety for that other person… You want to start every feedback conversation with your good intent.” (28:18 | Emily Gregory) “The number one key to having a feedback conversation well is so easy. You just have to care about the other person. It is as simple as that. If you truly care about them—not about you, not about the issue, not about the problem, but care about them—that will come through in your conversation.” (32:26 | Emily Gregory) Links Connect with Emily Gregory: www.crucialconversations.com https://cruciallearning.com/blog/constructive-criticism-how-to-hear-it-when-youd-rather-not/ https://hbr.org/2015/08/the-key-to-giving-and-receiving-negative-feedback Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

EP18: Pay Attention People! 24:11

“Imagine what it’s like trying to keep people’s attention in a virtual meeting—one they might not be interested in, a meeting they might even feel they don’t belong in. Yet, there they are, and it’s your job to keep them focused and get business done,” begins Karin Reed. In this episode, Karin addresses the challenges of keeping participants engaged in virtual meetings and offers practical strategies to maintain active involvement. The first step, she suggests, is to assess whether the meeting should even happen in the first place and offers two questions to ask to ensure that it does, based on insights from her co-author, Dr. Joe Allen, from their books Suddenly Virtual, Suddenly Hybrid, and Running Effective Meetings for Dummies. Dr. Allen suggests that in some cases, asynchronous communication may be a more effective option. Karin emphasizes the importance of setting clear expectations from the start—defining the meeting’s purpose and agenda upfront and encouraging participants to turn on their cameras to enhance communication through non-verbal cues. What can you do to make virtual meetings more dynamic? Karin suggests breaking content into smaller, manageable segments and incorporating interactive elements like polls, Q&A sessions, and chat participation. She also points out the value of allowing some non-business small talk, mimicking informal in-person interactions, which can help build rapport and lead to more meaningful contributions. Another key tip? Start the call early and stay until everyone has left. This approach opens up opportunities for one-on-one interactions that might otherwise be missed. Karin stresses the importance of keeping participants engaged throughout the meeting, whether through discussions or interactive tasks. Quotes “If a virtual meeting does not require input and interaction from your audience, don’t make people sit there and listen to you spout off that information. Send it out in a way they can consume on their own time without disrupting their workflow.” (03:12 | Karin Reed) “When we have virtual meetings, we’re expecting people to be active participants through a screen. And boy, it’s really hard to get people out of that passive observer position. They just want to show up, put themselves on mute, and sit there. But nobody can pay attention for that long if they’re just sitting there and watching… It’s a big challenge—keeping people tuned in and engaged.” (04:37 | Karin Reed) “Keeping the camera on allows people to communicate fully. It enables you to use non-verbal cues to deliver your message more effectively. People can read the intent of your message more easily, and when their cameras are on, you can also see the impact of your message on them.” (08:35 | Karin Reed) Links Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

EP17: Women in the Workplace: Communicating Your Worth 27:44

“Wouldn’t it be great if you had someone to guide you through writing your next chapter? Marcy Bullock is one of those people,” says Karin Reed in today’s episode of Speaker Dynamics - “Own the Room.” Joining Karin, Marcy emphasizes the importance of viewing life and career as a series of chapters, encouraging us to focus on “what’s next” rather than feeling overwhelmed by planning our entire future at once. How often do we burden ourselves with trying to figure it all out, instead of just concentrating on the next step? Marcy’s approach can help ease the pressure that many high achievers feel when facing major life decisions. The episode delves into gender disparities in the workforce, with Marcy addressing challenges women face, such as unnecessary apologies, the struggle for equal pay, and the impact of the #MeToo Movement. Drawing from her experience teaching at NC State, she shares strategies for self-advocacy among women and marginalized groups. Despite progress, significant gaps remain in areas like parental leave and salary transparency. Marcy also uses a sports analogy to illustrate how cultural conditioning contributes to the confidence gap, with women often internalizing criticism while men tend to deflect it. To help listeners overcome self-doubt and assert their worth, Marcy offers practical strategies—such as using data in salary negotiations and avoiding “glue work” that doesn’t align with strategic goals. She also emphasizes the importance of professional development and aligning your actions with your personal values. Marcy’s house analogy vividly illustrates how to prioritize your values, from foundational deal-breakers to minor preferences, urging us to focus on what truly matters. Marcy leaves us with a powerful message: get out of your own way. She encourages us to treat ourselves with the same compassion we’d offer a best friend and to be intentional in our life choices. Quotes “I realized that any marginalized group needs role models, needs tools in order to be able to succeed. And so, I decided to design this course and after teaching it for a few years, it was one of the most rewarding things I did because I’m very excited about helping women to advocate for themselves, to get what they are worth.” (06:09 | Marcy Bullock) “I think one of the biggest factors at play is women going into the workforce often being apologetic. They don’t want to step on anyone’s toes… So I think with gender parity, one of the big issues is, well, let’s just be real—parental leave and women being primary caretakers in a lot of families... Also, I just feel that overall, when women go into the workforce, we know they don’t make as much money as men do.” (07:32 | Marcy Bullock) “Don’t raise your hand for that unless that’s part of your job description… How does your job match with your boss’s priorities? How are you prioritizing things, and can you tie your accomplishments to impactful action items that have made a big impact on that organization? That’s how you’re going to be able to advocate yourself. But if you’re continually agreeing to do some of these things that women typically do, you’re going to find that when it’s time to advocate, you don’t have as much to pull for.” (18:44 | Marcy Bullock) Links Connect with Marcy Bullock: Marcy Lee Coaching Consulting - https://sites.google.com/view/marcylee/home?authuser=0 Instagram - @marcyleecoaching The Confidence Code - https://learnconfidencecode.com Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

EP16: Five Ways to Build Authentic Executive Presence 20:10

منذ عام واحد20:10

20:10

For years, executive presence meant fitting a specific mold, but that’s no longer the case. In this episode, Karin Reed shares how authenticity in communication can bolster your executive presence. Karin outlines five key strategies for integrating authentic communication into leadership to enhance executive presence. First, she emphasizes being a whole person, not just a job title, sharing anecdotes that provide a window into one’s personal life which can make leaders more relatable. Second, she advises leaders to “listen to learn” rather than “talk to tell,” quoting Wilfred Bion on the purest form of listening without preconceived notions or agendas. The third strategy is to speak in plain, simple language to ensure clear communication and comprehension, rather than trying to impress with an extensive vocabulary. Fourth, Karin encourages leaders to give themselves grace for verbal missteps, sharing humorous personal experiences to illustrate that everyone makes mistakes when they speak. Lastly, she emphasizes the importance of owning one’s expertise while being humble enough to admit when they don't know something, fostering a culture of psychological safety within the team. Karin leaves listeners with a powerful takeaway: authentic leadership is more valued today than ever before. By speaking from the heart and prioritizing genuine connections, leaders can enhance their executive presence and inspire their teams more effectively. Quotes “Authenticity is your key to resonating with your audience and that’s what’s going to make you an effective leader.” (02:18 | Karin Reed) “Helping people to understand why you do what you do is a great opportunity for you to help them to understand the decisions that you make, the motivation that you have for your goals that you have for the team and frankly for themselves as well. There’s also an element of being sure that you are seen as a full person that allows you to connect better with others.” (05:26 | Karin Reed) “One of my favorite quotes is by Wilfred Bion. And he said, ‘The purest form of listening is to listen without memory, or desire.’ What this means is that you are listening without an agenda or any preconceived notions or really any sort of goal for what’s going to happen at the end. Instead, you are just listening to hear what they have to say and taking in the information as it comes to you. If you allow yourself to engage in that pure form of listening… you're going to learn more, but also those you are conversing with will feel seen, and they will feel heard.” (07:19 | Karin Reed) “The great leaders that I have worked with understand that communication should not be a one-way street, it should be a two-way street with dialogue. And that means spending even more time listening than talking to people and pushing forth what you want to say.” (08:11 | Karin Reed) Links Connect with Karin Reed: Website: www.speakerdynamics.com Speaker Dynamics University: https://university.speakerdynamics.com/ Speaker Dynamics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakerdynamics/ Karin Reed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-reed/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…
