Using Courage to Effectively Communicate with Michelle Gladieux

Why do some HR leaders struggle with courage and confidence in advocating for themselves or others in the workplace? 

Michelle Gladieux, founder of Gladieux Consulting and author of “Communicate with Courage,” answers this question. As it turns out, the strengths that make you a good HR leader may prevent you from effectively communicating when it matters the most. 

But it doesn’t have to remain that way.

In this episode, Michelle shares the four challenges that hinder people from taking risks and showing courage to communicate effectively in the workplace. You’ll learn more about the factors in overcoming those challenges: the impacts of biases, the value of diverse perspectives, and the importance of understanding the operations in your organization.

It takes practice and guts. But every day, you have the opportunity to do the work and get a little closer to reaching your potential as a communicator with courage.
