Two leaders.
Two worlds.
One conversation that will change how you think about Communications.
When two Master of Communications Management (MCM) alumni share their stories … and one other MCM alumni layers in his perspective, you get more than theory.
You get expert lessons you can use right away!
If you’re looking for a leadership podcast that explores real-world communication skills for leaders, this is for you.
In this ConquerCast episode, I speak with Eileen Marlowe and Sara Goldvine .. leaders in completely different sectors, united by a belief in purposeful, people-first communication!
This is the good stuff .. and we cover a lot of ground in this episode.
From building trust in Indigenous-government relations, to aligning large, distributed teams, to the leadership trends shaping the future of work.
Both Eileen and Sara share candid lessons they’ve learned navigating complex systems, including:
- Why WHO’s in the room matters just as much as the decisions being made.
- How strategic communication can level the playing field and drive equity.
- The role of authenticity, humility, and curiosity in modern leadership.
What stood out to me most was how often their experiences overlapped. Despite working in completely different contexts.
“Trust and tone aren’t soft issues. They’re critical to project outcomes.”
“If you can’t build connection with your people, what are the chances you’ll have influence and leadership with them?”
I also include additional commentary, lessons and takeaways based on what I see working with leaders and teams.
If you care about leading with purpose, communicating with clarity and creating meaningful change in your organization or community, this conversation is worth your time.
