Clear, effective communication is the foundation of great leadership. But how often do we assume our message has landed, only to find out it hasn’t? As an L&D or HR professional, your ability to communicate well, directly impacts engagement, learning, and leadership success. 

In this episode of Sound Leadership, host Dan Boniface is joined by communication expert Elisa Colton, Media Trainer for Media First, and former BBC and Al Jazeera journalist. 

Elisa shares her stories and helps us understand how to become a great communicator and land the message with impact.  

You will find out: 

  • Why great communication skills are essential in leadership and L&D. 
  • The biggest communication challenges leaders and HR teams face. 
  • How different communication styles: verbal, non-verbal, and written impact engagement. 
  • Why we default to attribution theory and how to shift our mindset. 
    Practical techniques like AMEN and bridging to enhance clarity and impact. 

Plus, we wrap up with The Top 3 Leadership Soundbites, expert takeaways from Elisa to help you refine your communication strategy.
