Show Up As A LeaderLeave a comment


The most powerful communicators do not just speak, they create movement.

Rosie sits down with legendary speaker, coach, and National Speakers Association founding member Joel Weldon for a masterclass in communication that actually gets results. Joel shares the simple shifts that help leaders move from talking at people to truly connecting with them, including how to make every message about “you,” why feedback is the fastest path to growth, and how one small tweak can change the way your words land.

Whether you are leading a team meeting, sending a sales email, telling a story, or speaking from a stage, this conversation will help you communicate with more clarity, credibility, and human connection. Because at the end of the day, it is not about you. It is about the people you are here to serve.

Rosie in My Pocket: Listening with a Spirit of Service

Ever catch yourself “listening” but really just waiting for your turn to talk? Or maybe you jump in with advice before the other person even finishes?

I’ve been there too. In this episode, I flip the script on how we think about listening and challenge us to trade quick fixes and snap judgments for something deeper: listening with a spirit of service.

Instead of making conversations about us—whether through commiserating, tuning out, or problem-solving—I share how we can quiet our inner dialogue and truly tune in. When we listen this way, complaints transform into clues about unmet goals, people feel genuinely seen, and connection grows stronger.

Listening isn’t just a skill—it’s a superpower that helps others shine and allows us to build more meaningful relationships.
