Summary
Today, I’m joined by Jesston Williams, Executive Director and co-founder of Tangelic. Jesston brings more than two decades of experience in leadership, operations, and organizational management, and today his work focuses on social impact and sustainable development. In this episode, Jesston and I explore why being knowledgeable about something and being able to communicate it effectively are two very different skills. We discuss the importance of listening, clarity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence, along with why strong communicators adjust their message without changing the underlying facts. Whether you’re leading a team, presenting complex ideas, working across different audiences, or simply looking to become a more effective communicator, there are plenty of practical takeaways in this conversation. Let’s dive in.
