Communication and Leadership Skills with John Bates
This episode of the Investor Financing Podcast is a little different than usual, because today’s guest is executive coach and motivational speaker John Bates and he’s here to tell you the importance of truly effective communication skills.
John’s life has seen some crazy highs and lows, as he rode the dot com wave but then sank like a stone and struggled with illness, depression, and a lack of purpose. However, he found inspiration by chance and threw himself into the world of executive coaching when he realized that he could teach high-level directors to communicate better by using techniques built on neurobiology.
John outlines one of his core communication principles to Beau and dives deep on what it means to trust your gut and the difference between influencing another person and manipulating them. John and Beau also discuss the role that communication plays in all aspects of our lives and how learning to listen is equally as important as speaking effectively.
This episode is an inspiring listen and a fantastic resource for anyone who needs to communicate better in their job or in their lives. If you learned something from John, please share the episode and subscribe to the Investor Financing Podcast.
