“The same problems are made in both internal communications and external communications. The problem is we don’t sufficiently value our own stories, our own messages, our own people and what they believe. Therefore we don’t think it is worthy of covering, and it absolutely is.” – Justin Brady
Communication is the #1 barrier that holds back any entity from greater exposure and success, and bad communication can absolutely interfere with your marketing, along with your employees’ productivity. To learn more, I’m so excited to speak with today’s Finding Brave guest, as he shares the ways that any individual or company, regardless of its size, can cultivate and amplify their stories in order to develop their brand.
Justin Brady is an expert at cultivating and amplifying the compelling stories of his emerging tech clients, reaching millions. He also hosts his podcast The Justin Brady Show that focuses on business and work cultures, and features the best communicators in the world that have found ways to out-smart and out-create their competitors.
This conversation with Justin is a fascinating study on what you should, and shouldn’t, do to connect your message to journalists and other brand conduits. Along with sharing how to amplify your own message, he gives first-hand tips and insider strategies for building your listening and empathy skills, which will be invaluable regardless of what career you are pursuing.
