Have you ever felt the pressure in those critical moments – presenting to your team, sharing a big idea, leading a difficult conversation – and worried your message didn't truly land?

Or sensed there was more potential for connection and impact in the room, but weren't sure how to bring it to life?

Maybe you've felt like important things are going unsaid within your team or business?

We get it. Stepping forward to communicate powerfully is a key leadership skill, but it's not always easy to ensure your words and presence make the difference you intend. We've all been in situations where communication feels surface-level, missing the opportunity for deeper understanding and connection.

On this week’s episode, Carly Shorter, former radio broadcaster and founder of Communicate Powerfully, shares how to make sure those critical communication moments aren't missed and reveals practical ways to create deeper, more meaningful conversations.

And it’s not just about what you say, but the energy, presence, and intention beneath the surface. Carly unveils the thinking behind her unique 'Below the Surface' card deck, designed specifically to spark these richer dialogues in teams and learning environments.

If you've been looking for tools to build trust and psychological safety within your team, this is exactly what you need to hear.
