We're celebrating #InternationalPodcastDay 🎙 @letemspeakpod is hosted by our very own @christineclapp @OakCliffLawyer & Bjørn Stillion Southard. These #communication experts explore the intersection of #DiversityandInclusion and #presentationskills & #publicspeaking.

[Michele Morrissey @LuciditySpeaks]

Tone matters! Our emotions are expressed through our tone of voice.

Tone is hard to fake. Self-regulate before you communicate.

@PresBreaux Tanya is so deserving! A wonderful woman and stellar professional.

Many arguments get heated not because our opinions clash, but because we fail to show that we care.

In conflict, the most important step isn't to defend your position. It's to reinforce your relationship.

It's easier to accept that you're not like-minded if you're like-hearted.

6 active listening
7 networking (trust and giving)
8 good customer service

At every stage of your career, when you open your mouth you sell yourself, your ideas, your value, and your ability. Fortunately, even if you’re not a born communicator, the ability to deliver a powerful presentation can be learned.

Quote from Christine Clapp: "“A lot of us are rusty at small talk — we haven’t had nearly as many casual interactions in the past year. We need to get back into the habit of making small talk and bringing up topics that are not all pandemic related."

Quote from Jean Miller: “We all have become very still in the virtual environment because movement can be distracting in our little box on the screen. In person, it is not natural to be like a statue so we need to maintain poised stillness with purposeful & appropriate movement."

Quote from Christina McLean: “It’s important to pay attention to the quality and effect of sound in both virtual and in-person situations. Remember that wearing a mask takes decibels off your volume so you need to project loudly.”

Quote from Lisa Richard: “The keys to feeling safe and comfortable when we gather again are communicating about the criteria for meeting in person and having sensitivity toward the most vulnerable and / or conservative people in the room."
