The Communication Shift Leaders Need Connecting with others starts with understanding yourself—how you communicate and how you prefer to receive information. Amos shares how tools like DISC profiling can help you adapt your style to better connect with different personalities. But beyond frameworks, true connection comes from being real, telling stories, and most importantly—listening. Not just hearing words, but actively engaging, responding, and showing that you care. Even in a virtual world, body language and energy matter. If communication is just about pushing a message without considering the other person, connection is lost.Vulnerability Creates Direct, Honest ConversationVulnerability plays a crucial role in leadership, fostering real connections and growth. Amos shares how acknowledging mistakes and seeking team input builds trust. He highlights the importance of direct, honest conversations—whether in leadership, relationships, or letting an employee go.Avoiding tough discussions only delays the inevitable and limits learning opportunities. A great example from youth soccer coaching shows the power of clear communication: identifying where someone is, where they need to be, and working together to bridge the gap. Leaders must ensure their message truly lands and give people space to find solutions before making decisions.About Amos McCoyGrowing up in Lemasters, Pennsylvania, his first job at Snider's Elevator taught him grit and the power of relationships.
