?? Make Yourself Heard ??

There you are at a holiday party, family event or often a business meeting. You could be in person or on a video call and are asking yourself questions like, 'Am I getting my point across? Do they see what I am trying to say? Am I being heard?' You sense you are missing the mark. Yet, you are not exactly sure what to change or how. If this sounds at all familiar you will enjoy this article and the short, 27 minute podcast associated with it.

During this holiday season, I spent some time with Tracey Madigan , media training expert, as she shared her wisdom and guidance on a topic everyone craves greater skill in: to Make Yourself Heard. ?The energy Tracy brings to this conversation topic is something you could feel in the room as we recorded this podcast episode at the Federal New Network studios.

Listen as Tracey shares her remarkable journey, from a career in Canadian journalism to navigating the dynamic landscape of Washington, D.C. as her husband became a White House correspondent. We explore the unexpected turns that led her from a? pivotal role as an executive producer for a business show in D.C to her current role as Senior Partner with the 15 Minutes Group.?

What especially stands out about Tracey is her passion for helping brilliant minds communicate effectively. This is her core motivation.

She shares invaluable insights based on media training, emphasizing the art of concise, impactful communication.

The anecdotes she provides-like helping a caterer deliver a compelling talk on food waste when the caterer had hoped to know more about the topic before presenting-showcase her unique approach in helping clients eliminate self-doubt and foster authentic connections. This is such a key element of making yourself heard and many of us are practicing this all the time.

Tracey and I also delve into the broader impact of media training beyond interviews: discussing how these skills resonate in negotiations, interpersonal relationships, and everyday professional communication.

Tracey's ability to uncover patterns and provide small, impactful tools for improvement is truly transformative and during the conversation she goes into significant detail about little tweaks and adjustments we can all make which have a 10x impact on our getting our message across.

We also explore the challenges of returning to in-person communication post-pandemic, which is both an opportunity and challenge for many if not most employees and employers as we speak.

Tracey's expertise proves invaluable as we discuss the universal benefits of effective communication honed through media training, and the impact this training can have in both business and our personal lives.?
