Ep86 | Exploring theater lessons for better communication with Shana Gold

If you've ever been to the theater, you've witnessed a masterclass in communication. Each character demonstrating their ability to get what they need (or not) from each other. Creating harmony or sparking conflict. Influencing, irritating, arousing, amusing. All done for the benefit of us, the audience. Complete strangers making us care about the outcome of a make believe situation we knew nothing about just minutes before. It's magical, really. And it's the perspective today's guest on the DesuckifyWork® podcast brings to her communication coaching practice every day. Shana Gold has been helping folks find their voice at work for over 20 years, after spending several years in the world of theater as an actor and director. The lessons she learned play out quite nicely on the corporate stage, whether you're presenting to a thousand person room, negotiating your next pay package or having a weekly one-on-one: 🐱 Shifting from judgment to empathy and discernment 🐱 Regulating the nervous system with breath work and sensory awareness 🐱 Bringing our outer and inner worlds into alignment 🐱 Becoming more in tune with who we're speaking with, creating genuine connection So, next time you go see a show, enjoy the performance. And consider taking a few mental notes as well. (If you enjoy this episode, please like, share, rate, review or subscribe to the podcast.) Let the desuckifying begin.
