Ep. 190 - Own It: The Communication Shift That Changes Everything at Work

Send us Fan MailYou’re smart. You’re capable. But when pressure hits at work, do you defend… justify… over-explain?In this episode, you’ll learn how to communicate in a way that earns trust, influence and real respect - especially when you’re reporting up (or managing down).Here’s what you’ll take away:Ownership builds power. When you make a mistake, less defending and more owning changes everything. A simple apology and accountability builds credibility faster than 10,000 excuses ever will.Pause before you fire. If you’re naturally fiery or emotional, learning when to hold back - and read the room - will instantly elevate how you’re perceived.Clarity creates confidence. What you put in writing (carefully) builds structure, boundaries and protection - but tone and timing matter.If you’ve been feeling misunderstood, micromanaged or frustrated with leadership, this episode will help you shift how you show up - so you gain influence instead of shrinking or pushing back.This is how you step up without burning bridges.If this episode resonated with you, don't leave it as another podcast insight.Whether you're navigating a leadership challenge, struggling with confidence, feeling overwhelmed, or simply looking for a fresh perspective, coaching can help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and calm.If you're ready for that next step, book a session at www.rhiannonbush.com.No discovery call.
