Ep. 36: Effective Leadership Through Faith-Driven Communication

Brenda, the founder and president of Harkins Leadership Group, discusses her approach to effective communication, emphasizing that "loud is not a language." She recounts a pivotal moment at a 2016 dinner where the concept crystallized. Brenda's method, "loud is not a language," focuses on courage, humility, authenticity, integrity, and respect (CHAIR) to foster better relationships and influence. She highlights the importance of understanding and valuing individual strengths and perspectives, both in business and personal interactions. Brenda also stresses the need for leaders to align their actions with their faith without imposing it on others, advocating for a balanced approach to work and personal identity.
