It's that time of year again – the holidays are fast approaching and as many of you know, the season kicks off with my favorite holiday: Thanksgiving. People often wonder why Thanksgiving gets me in the holiday spirit and I’m always excited to share with them why....Because it’s the season for Grandma Elsie’s Famous Pumpkin Chiffon Pie and other crowd-favorite recipes. 

Trust Everywhere is Eroding 

Several recent surveys show a serious decline in the trust key stakeholders have in organizations. Earlier this year, a major annual study underscored the scope of the problem, revealing the largest-ever drop in trust among the general population. 

With the holiday season upon us, why not give the gift of leadership and communications tips to a colleague, friend or your team?

From now until January 1, 2018, my books, No Cape Needed: The Simplest, Smartest, Fastest Steps to Improve How You Communicate by Leaps and Bounds, along with You Can’t Not Communicate: Proven Communication Solutions that Power the Fortune 100, and its follow-up, You Can’t Not Communicate 2, are on sale for $12.59 each – a 30% discount.

Please join me and some other very smart communications professionals at the Poppulo Customer Summit. I’m excited to be part of the speaker line up as the Keynote in Chicago on September 12, 2017 and would like to invite you to attend. But first, a little background…

This 75-minute webinar for communications professionals is designed to help you - and the leaders you support - find your authentic voice in business.  

I am humbled and thrilled to announce that my third communications book, No Cape Needed: The Simplest, Smartest, Fastest Steps to Improve How You Communicate by Leaps and Bounds, has been honored with a Pinnacle Award for Best Book in Business for Fall 2015.

In my work with leaders across a wide range of Fortune 500 companies, I often hear strikingly similar frustrations and concerns. Leaders come to me feeling stuck, unable to see a clear path through the dizzying array of challenges amid the incredible demands on their time.

At the same time, I see leaders getting in the way of progress, when there are simple communication fixes that could help them achieve their goals faster and more effectively than they ever imagined.
