A Masterclass in Effective Communication by an FBI-Trained Crisis Negotiator
Update: 2025-05-14
Description
In this episode of Uncommon Leadership, Michael Hunter sits down with Scott Harvey, an FBI-trained hostage negotiator, speaker, author, and business communication consultant, to unpack the often-overlooked skill that separates good leaders from great ones: the ability to connect through communication.
Harvey draws from his extensive experience, including his time as a D.A.R.E. officer and his work in conflict resolution and advocating for mental health discussions. His unique background provides a fresh, pragmatic, and deeply human perspective on leading with influence and building relationships that thrive.
This isn't just theory; it's hard-won wisdom from someone who has navigated life-or-death conversations.
Whether you’re leading a meeting or navigating a tense conversation, this episode is a masterclass in reading the room—and reshaping the outcome through the power of words.
For any leader who wants to be heard, trusted, and remembered, this one’s a must. Tune in today.
