When You Own Your Voice, You Own Your Future With Andrea T Edwards

View descriptionShare

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Andrea T Edwards who is known as The Digital Conversationalist. She is an author, public speaker, podcaster and a communications expert that, over the years, has helped many companies, including Microsoft, to improve the way they communicate.

They discuss how to develop cultural intelligence so you can get the best out of people regardless of where they are from or how they were raised. How communicating in the digital world differs and how to use social media to genuinely connect rather than to broadcast what you have done or think. Andrea also explains how to become more resilient and be ready for the radical changes that the world is facing.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Be humble and listen.
  • Pay attention to non-verbal forms of communication.
  • Trust is key.
  • When their leaders genuinely own something, it is easy for them to get their employees to do the same. 
  • Work out what your focus is and who your audience is.
  • Don't let trolls stop you from using social media. 
  • There are more good people in the world than bad. If all of them spoke up they would soon change the narrative.
  • Bad things happen because people stay silent.
  • Honour who you are and what you need to be happy.
  • Strength comes from being in control of your heart and mind. How you respond to things.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘To work out how to get the best out of the people that you work with from different cultures requires really deep empathy and sensitivity. ´

‘In the English language, we use about 5,000 words regularly, yet there are about 700,000 aspects of body language.’

‘We need to stop being scared. We need to step into our voices and get the world on track.’

 

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
