  Why Listening Is As Important as Speaking

  Aug 25, 202613 minS26

  In this episode, I deconstruct Steven Spielberg's new film Disclosure Day — which I happened to see on the Fourth of July, on the 250th anniversary of this country, in a theater in New York City. The timing was unplanned. The way it landed was not. Tune in to discover: Why integrity is simpler than we think, and why we so often talk ourselves out of it anyway What withholding truth has to do with division, and how speakers and leaders do this more than they realize Why the last word of the film stopped me cold, and what it means for anyone who wants to use their voice to unite rather than divide More from Tricia Publish your book with The Big Talk Press Join me LIVE for my Complimentary Monthly Workshop Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on Facebook Connect with me on LinkedIn Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com

  The Hidden Cost of Living on Autopilot (and How to Show Up Fully)

  Aug 11, 202612 minS26

  In this episode, I share something that happened on my way to vote that stopped me in my tracks — three words spoken so flatly, so matter-of-factly, that I couldn't stop thinking about them for the rest of the morning. "I'm just here." Those three words revealed something I think a lot of us are doing without even realizing it, and it's quietly costing us more than we know. Tune in to discover: What "I'm just here" actually means, and why it's not the same as being tired, burned out, or introverted What it costs you every single time you drift into autopilot — in your leadership, your speaking, and your life Four concrete ways to come back to full presence, even when you've been going through the motions for a long time More from Tricia Join me LIVE for my Complimentary Monthly Workshop Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on Facebook Connect with me on LinkedIn Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com
