Connie Dieken: Transforming Leaders into Influencers
Communication Coaching
Great leaders know communication is more than making noise, we must influence others to act
Communication coaching and training efforts, for many leaders, is the most important skill in their leadership arsenal. Everyday, effective leaders are getting their message across and delivering positive impact to their peers and teams. And with technological breakthroughs changing how we communicate, many leaders have yet to evolve with the changes in people's behaviors, such as shorter attention spans and multiple distractions, competing for their time.
Resonate to Connect with People
Effective communication skills begins with connecting with people on their terms. Understanding how to recognize personality and behavioral cues will help you better connect and resonate with those you are communcating with. When you add in critical techniques such as active listening, you'll get the tools you need to make a lasting impact and people will take the action you want.

How to Manage Presentation Anxiety and Radically Improve Your Outcome
As you watched the London Olympics, you may have wondered, "Why does one athlete reach her golden goal while another with equal talent falters?" Sports psychologists tell us the athlete who hauls in the hardware has learned to manage her anxiety. Same with influential leaders and presenters. After a decade of coaching executives, I've learned the key is to manage your anxiety, not try to control it. Managing and controlling are two different mindsets. If you manage your anxiety, you'll stay focused, which radically reduces your stress and improves the outcome. If you try to control it, you give the anxiety too much power.

Influencer of the Week: Your Voice
In a week that's featured the return of Adele's powerfully emotional voice, the silencing of Whitney Houston's soaring vocals, and the imminent finale of Glen Campbell's crooning to Alzheimer's disease, I feel compelled to share this this truth: Use your voice.
