Understanding cyber security technology can be difficult outside of the tech industry, but according to Kris Burkhardt, “healthy paranoia” can be a good thing. This week Kris and Laura discuss the complexities of communicating to businesses about the importance of cyber security, as well as how he empowers his team to make mistakes and solve problems together.



Here are a few things you’ll learn during this conversation:
How to encourage questions when presenting to an audience
How to use body language to gauge understanding of complex topics
Why it’s important to let your team make mistakes
How to communicate expectations clearly
The importance of managing miscommunications early



During the 24-Hour Influence Challenge, Kris encourages you to choose 1-3 team members and give them a single piece of coaching advice to improve their performance, then follow up on a regular basis. This regular check in will improve your communication and your relationship.
