Greg Rice
About this episode

Welcome back to another solo episode of The Art of Communication! An issue that many people struggle with is self-confidence and communicating with confidence and authority. This is a major problem that unfortunately many leaders are not aware of. Many of them think that they are confident about themselves when in reality they don’t believe even in the words they say. In this episode, I will share a variety of ways for you to build your confidence as a leader and communicate with confidence and authority. 

These are actionable steps that you can apply right away. Remember that as leaders, your manner of speaking communicates how confident you are about yourself and your team. You should be confident enough to instill confidence in your people too.
