Episode 8: Communication Tools

In this episode I diverge from the more theoretical leaning of recent episodes, to discuss communication tools. As a leader there just isn't enough time in the day to connect one-on-one with all the people you serve. In this episode I discuss the different tools at your disposal, and when, and how to utilize them to change hearts and minds.  Sign up for classes with J.Marie here [https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders]. https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders [https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders]

Episode 7: Organizational Communication

In this week's slightly shorter episode, I explore what makes organizational communication successful, and also what distinguishes it from personal communications. I breakdown organizational communications into four components: Audience, Message,  The tools you use, and Logistics. Tune in for a few tidbits to make communicating within your organizational structure a little more seamless.

Episode 6: Giving & Receiving Feedback

Giving and receiving feedback is a gift, yet one that often makes us comfortable for many reasons deeply ingrained in our society and culture. In this episode, I explore shifting our mindsets to allow us to accept and give feedback objectively, without internalizing an emotional response. Setting our personal feelings aside and understanding feedback as the gift is,  allows us to take full advantage of it. Learn how you can reshape your responses to take advantage of the gift of feedback, without feeding our coworkers the feedback sandwich.  Sign up for classes with J.Marie here [https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders]. https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders [https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders]

Episode 5: Organizational Conflict

In continuation of last episode's theme of dealing with conflict, this episode shifts its focus slightly to consider addressing conflict at an organizational level. J. Marie shares a quote that is emblematic of her approach to dissecting conflict from a position of leadership, and that is “make yourself vulnerable to the legitimacy of someone else’s perspectives.” This episode then provides specific methods you utilize to facilitate conversation around polarizing topics that are equitable to all interest groups you may serve.
