5 actionable lessons for self-made leaders to level up their communication skills—so you never have to say, “No one taught me this” again.

Leadership wasn’t something you studied… it found you.
Someone saw your potential, and suddenly, you were moving up the ranks. Fast.
Now, you’re leading a team, a division, maybe even an entire organization.
But on occasion you notice something isn’t clicking.
Your team isn’t always hearing what you’re saying.
Or if they hear you, they’re not following.
Over time, you’ve learned that what goes unsaid often carries more weight than what’s spoken.
And when tough conversations come up, it feels like everyone is tiptoeing around the real issues, not wanting to be the one that brings it up.
You ask yourself “is this the best we can do?”
You know you and your team can do better. And you’re ready to grow as a leader.

I’ve got your back.
I’m Susan Giacobazzi, a Workplace Communication Coach.
My passion is helping leaders who came from the school of hard knocks. Leaders who climbed the ranks through hard work, grit, and results. They’re great at what they do, and they want to keep growing.
That’s why I created this 5-day email series, sharing the five essential lessons every self-made leader needs to build a strong foundation for workplace communication.
These are my best insights from my Next Level Leadership course, and you can get them delivered straight to your inbox.
