Summary

What if the way you speak is costing more than just missed connections – perhaps even measurably diminishing your team's effectiveness?

I’ve discovered that transforming how your message lands isn't about some innate talent, but about mastering specific, often counterintuitive techniques.

Our guest today is, Bill McGowan, founder and CEO of Clarity Media Group, a two-time Emmy Award–winning correspondent, communication expert and author of Speak, Memorably: The Art of Captivating an Audience.

We'll explore how embedding facts within a compelling narrative can make your information a staggering 22 times more memorable and you’ll learn how to break free from the common verbal ruts that place you in a comfort zone. Why even something as standard as an agenda slide can sabotage your opening impact and how strategic silence, not filler words, can make your points resonate with far greater precision.

This is about ensuring your words don't just get heard, but truly stick.
