Effective communication involves creating a clear, concise, and relatable message to the audience. In this week’s episode, I’m having a conversation with Eliza Leoni, a workshop facilitator, coach, and founder of Talk Like a Person, a San Francisco-based communications coaching, training, and consulting company. She has spent over a decade facilitating, designing programs, and coaching leaders at Fortune 500 companies.She developed a passion for helping people break down the self-consciousness ("What am I doing with my hands?") and jargon ("let’s circle back on the soft-launch of our extended system capabilities vis-a-vis maximizing ROI and synergistically up-leveling our solutions”) that get in the way of real connection with their listeners.Eliza believes being a good listener and empathizing with others' emotions are essential qualities of a successful leader. She believes in the power of authentic conversations and thinks every moment is an opportunity to learn and grow as a person and a leader.Tune in to today’s episode to hear more about:Why "Clarity is Kind" is important in effective leadership and communication.How authentic leaders can embrace feedback in their new journey.How leaders can embrace their authentic leadership.The importance of knowing your audience and seeing things from their perspective.Why embracing failure is key to being a more authentic leader.Connect with Eliza Leoni:Email - [email protected]  Website www.talklikeaperson.co Follow Eliza Leoni on social media:https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliza-leoni  Connect with your host, Kele Belton:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/    Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com
