How to communicate when you’re underwater

How to communicate when you’re underwater

Have you been snorkeling?


I was in St John earlier this month and discovered the fear of snorkeling is much like the fear that keeps us small and on the sidelines of our life.


  • Fear of looking silly
  • Fear of getting caught off guard
  • Fear of wading into the unknown


It’s hard to not look goofy backing into the water wearing giant blue flippers and a clear plastic mask.?


It’s part of the experience–a little awkward but worth it for the beauty under the water.


What if you approached communication the same way??


  • Trusted that it’s worth stumbling over a few rocks?
  • Believed that it was nicer in the water than on the shore
  • Trusted that it would get easier with practice


This is what I help my clients do:?


  • Prepare for the unknown
  • Smooth out their communication
  • Trust themself to handle difficult conversations and high pressure presentations


If you’re hesitant to get in the water, I understand. I too like to dip my toes in.?

That’s why I do consult calls. You get to know me, I get to know you, you share your goals and I share how my process can help. At the end you decide if you want to get in the water.

The first step is to book a call with me.
