The Leadership Pod

In this episode, I share 7 people skills you need to become a great manager or leader. Aspiring managers or leaders who show a high level of technical skill are often seen as competent enough to get promoted into senior levels. However, what often happens with these types of skill-based promotions is that while the individual has the technical skills necessary for the job, they often lack the people skills they need to manage and lead well. And this can lead them to underperform in their new position or for their boss to question whether they’re the right person for the job. I created this episode to help you avoid this dilemma.

Have you ever been in a situation where you struggled to sound articulate when you speak? Maybe your thoughts were muddled and you couldn’t communicate them in an organised way. Maybe your mind went blank because you forgot what you wanted to say. Struggling to articulate your thoughts and communicate them clearly is a very common problem and there are a number of reasons why this happens. 
In this episode, I reveal seven common reasons as to why you struggle to sound articulate when you speak. I talk about:
Jumping in too fast
Communicating too much information
Not clarifying the problem/question
Wanting to sound intelligent
Vocabulary tips
Anxiety when speaking
Reading and writing for better speaking

For a long time, I felt that I didn’t speak with clarity. I would jump from thought to thought without any intelligent connection. I wouldn’t finish my thoughts properly leaving people with an unfinished thought. Overall, my communication was jumbled and all over the place. I realised that I needed to learn how to speak with more clarity. After spending a long time researching and trialling different methods, I narrowed it down to seven things that helped me the most.
In this episode, I take you through the method that has helped me to speak with more clarity. It includes:
Expanding your vocabulary
Removing unnecessary information
Conveying one thought at a time
Keeping the main point in mind
Reading to improve your speaking
Writing to improve your speaking
Learning from interviews and documentaries

To be honest, the corporate world can be rife with office politics. You’ve probably experienced or witnessed office politics at some stage in your career. It’s bad enough when coworkers engage in office politics, but when it’s a leader, that’s a whole different problem.
In this episode, we’re going to look at seven office politics that exist. I also explain why each office politic is bad and what you should do instead. Some of these office politics are common in the workplace, while others are more extreme.
By learning about these office politics, I hope to not only bring your awareness to them, but also help you avoid getting embroiled in these office politics. Because they will have a detrimental effect on you, your leadership reputation and your future career success. 
In this episode, I talk about
Favouritism
Gossiping
Spreading rumours
Backstabbing
Forming cliques
Intentionally withholding information
Blackmailing
