A few days ago, I was reading a post by a LinkedIn connection. He became a certified trainer in the Situational Leadership model, which involves adapting leadership styles to meet the needs of individuals.
Quite ironic that I read this post, as one of the questions I asked my recent podcast guest, Synthia Smith , during our conversation was “should leaders have a leadership style or lead people the way those people want to be led?”
Check out the episode to get her answer to that question and many others!

Use filler words when presenting? Ummm...probably so. Ever thought to pause instead?
I talk about the pause in this YouTube video.
A LinkedIn connection made me laugh. A professional speaker, he chuckles to himself every time he hears a presenter say "without further ado." He thinks it's the sign of an unpolished speaker. Ever since he said that, every time I hear someone say it, I chuckle to myself. What do you think? Unpolished speaker or no big deal?
All for now. Until next time!
