How to Be Brief With Your Brag

Coaching isn't the only way to actively listen; but the ICF training I'm receiving as a certifying MCC coach has fortified my skills. I've learned to hold back offering solutions in the ideation phase, (so hard!). I encourage instead. I can slow down. I can condense my questions to stay open and short vs. mirroring back it all. In this recorded coaching call, which I've published (with her request) on my Competency No 5 podcast, hear my client empower herself to solve a huge problem, within 40+ minutes, with minimal pouring in from me.

How to Speak for Only 10% of the Time

“It’s not bragging if you can back it up.”&nbsp;So said Muhammad Ali — the late boxer, social activist, and cultural icon known as&nbsp;The Greatest. My Medium article offers self-coaching tips to help shift your mindset from humility to confidence. We've also five tips to write a self-appraisal or self-assessment that helps you brag like a boss, back it up, and delight your reader. (Meaning: they&nbsp;enjoy&nbsp;vs endure the read.)&nbsp;

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.library.hbs.edu/working-knowledge/did-you-hear-what-i-said-how-to-listen-better">Harvard Business School research</a> reminds us why we need to listen better; and that few leaders know how. Employees who feel well heard feel more motivated, engaged, and creative. Employees who feel misheard leave their jobs. Leaders who listen can articulate visions well, resolve problems and shepherd decisions through. Deeper listening generates deeper questions and with that, truth. The best part? From listening well, you feel more energized and stay way more informed. You discover what others really care and worry about and empower them 10X more.Listen Like a Boss brings you my proven process, secrets, and habits I've built as a trusted communications coach with Google, the US Air Force, Dell, American Express, and major global finance houses and banks.Since entering the coaching industry five years ago, I've coached over 1,000 leaders across 9,000 sessions.By listening, asking questions, and pausing for answers, I've helped leaders know themselves and improve their communications in ways that win them their next big job. I can teach you how. It starts with committing to becoming a better, more curious and intentional listener, and differently to before.

Companies want CEOs and leaders who listen and converse well. Few know how.
