Mind your language, this one’s a talker. Aly and Andrew turn the volume up on how one tiny shift in language changes how people see you, and how you see yourself.
As your roles, relationships and life experience grow, so does your voice. So is adapting your tone selling out, or just good manners with a side of self awareness? We unpack “gravitas” feedback, the pressure to sound a certain way at work, and why credibility should never mean muting your natural voice. Plus how to prep before you speak: read the room, choose your words with care, and keep it clear without talking down to anyone.
Then we get practical, not just grammatical. Reading widely, studying, and deliberately arguing the other side can make you less judgemental and far handier in negotiations, mediations and hard conversations. Expect personal stories about being told “you’ve changed”, from caffeine fuelled brusqueness to the delicate dialect of pay rises, performance reviews and financial sustainability.
We wrap with a toolkit small enough for your back pocket: pause, be intentional, line your words up with your values, and if you miss the mark, own it and repair it fast.
Made for leaders, professional services folk and accounting firm owners who want their communication to land with clients, teams and the wider community.
If this got you rethinking your tone, subscribe, share it with a mate, and leave us a review. Then tell us: what’s one piece of feedback that changed how you communicate? We’re all ears, and only slightly judgemental about your Oxford comma.
