How to Speak Like a Leader at Work

How to speak like a leader at work. As you advance into leadership, you’ll be required to use a different style of communication in the workplace.

You'll need to move away from the style of communication you used early on in your career and adopt a more assertive and confident style of communication.

Speaking like a leader and sounding like a leader in workplace conversations is critical if you want to advance into a leadership position.

You must be able to:

  • Delegate to your team confidently and effectively.
  • Share your opinions with conviction.
  • Be okay with disagreeing, and disagree assertively.

Whether it’s delegating, sharing your opinions or disagreeing, these are not communication styles that people commonly use when they are entry level in their career. However as you advance into leadership, these communication techniques are what will make you stand out, get noticed and get promoted.

In this podcast episode and related YouTube video (below), I delve into these three communication techniques to help you speak like a leader at work.

If you’re an emerging leader and you feel your communication needs improving because people don’t listen to you at work, you get overlooked in meetings, or you don’t have the impact you want, then these resources are definitely for you.

Precisely, Kara Ronin. Communications styles are easily influenced too by others in the room. Developing your own style, that is also adaptable is key.

Pay attention to your words and choose the language that makes you sound like the leader you are and aspire to be. Notice which phrases you use that land well with others and which you’d like to change. Keep experimenting and practicing. Thank you for this.
