Jefferson Fisher (whose revolutionary communication strategies have generated over 1 billion impressions worldwide) returns to reveal his most powerful techniques for the scenarios that make even the most confident professionals stumble. 
No vague advice—just specific phrases you can use immediately that transform how colleagues perceive your competence and authority.

Learn his brilliantly simple "conversational breath" technique that helps you appear more thoughtful and authoritative in any meeting, plus the powerful three-word phrase that lets you disagree with anyone—even your boss—without creating conflict.

Listening to this episode will teach you:
- A foolproof method for connecting with intimidating senior leaders
- The exact phrase that lets you acknowledge your emotions without losing control of difficult conversations
- How to stop your over-explaining habit that's undermining your authority
- A three-word phrase that makes you sound instantly more confident in any situation
