Welcome back to The Executive Flow podcast! In this episode, host Subbu Ramalingam sits down with Salvatore Manzi, a renowned communication strategist, coach, and trainer, to dive into the art of impactful leadership communication. While the last episode merely scratched the surface, today they go deeper into executive presence, powerful storytelling, and the nuances that separate communication that simply informs from communication that inspires real action.
Salvatore shares his personal journey from introverted analyst to a sought-after coach for leaders in STEM and tech, revealing how understanding your own brain and communication style can radically elevate your influence. Together, Subbu and Salvatore explore practical examples, like the signature “Obama pause”, and break down the myth that you need to be an extrovert to be a powerful communicator. They discuss the balance between data-driven messaging and emotional connection, the importance of presence and gravitas, and how to thrive even in challenging or cross-cultural environments.
Whether you’re a chief data officer presenting to your board or someone looking to amplify your presence in meetings, this conversation is full of actionable strategies, from daily habits that foster solid executive presence to creating space for dialogue over data downloads. Plus, the episode wraps with must-read book recommendations for anyone aiming to sharpen their leadership communication skills. Get ready for an episode that will help you unlock your executive flow and leave a lasting impact as a leader.
