Credibility on Command, Communicating When Stakes Are High

from Stepping Into your Leadership Hosted by Leadership Development Partners

Christine Courtney sits down with veteran journalist, longtime anchor, and journalism professor Monica Malpass for a lively conversation on what leaders can learn from life in the spotlight. Monica shares how she built a specialty by asking for opportunities, how she prepared for high-stakes interviews [including a memorable one-on-one with President Obama], and what it really takes to stay steady when the pressure is on. Together, they unpack practical behaviors that build trust fast, presence, posture, eye contact, and the quiet confidence of “i belong here.” Monica also offers a smart approach for asking better questions, keeping conversations from getting hijacked, and using preparation to stay flexible in the moment. If you’ve ever walked into a room with nerves, faced a tough conversation, or needed to hold the thread when someone tries to pull you off track, this episode gives you a clear, usable playbook.
