I’m your communication coach, Dr. Andrea Wojnicki (please call me Andrea!). Are you an ambitious executive with a growth mindset, looking to advance your career? Well, you’re in the right place.   At Talk About Talk, we focus on communication-skills-topics like personal branding, confidence, and networking. This is the critically important stuff they don’t teach you in school. And if you check out the TalkAboutTalk.com website, you’ll find online corporate training, 1-on-1 coaching with me, the archive of this bi-weekly podcast, and the free weekly communication-skills newsletter. I really hope you’ll go to the website and sign up for the free weekly communication skills training newsletter. But you can choose what works for you! Welcome to Talk About Talk episode number 95. This is the second of a two-part focus on TAKING THE STAGE: COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR LEADERS, where I interviewed communication guru Judith Humphrey, founder of The Humphrey Group.  If you haven’t listened to episode 94 yet, I encourage you to listen to that first. But this episode really is to good stuff. You’re going to hear the second part of my conversation with Judith, and then you’re going to hear my summary. I’ll summarize for you new ways to think about things like self-promotion, imposter syndrome, apologizing, and communication differences between men and women.,  Yes, we’re gonna get into stereotypes! Are you ready?  OK. We left off with Judith’s summary of her Leaders’ Script.  Do you remember what it was?  4 dimensions.  The grabber, proofpoint or main message, structure or supporting points, and last, the all-important call to action.   INTERVIEW
