You don’t need to shout to be heard. You don’t need to win every argument to be respected. And you don’t need to fear difficult conversations, if you know how to lead them.
In this episode, trial lawyer and #1 speaking coach Jefferson Fisher shares the communication frameworks that have made him one of the most trusted voices online for navigating conflict, setting boundaries, and speaking with confidence.
We explore why less is more when you speak, how to stay calm under pressure, and the one mindset shift that instantly makes you more magnetic in any room.
From boardrooms to relationships, Jefferson’s practical tools will help you argue less, say more, and lead without raising your voice.
If you’ve ever struggled with people pleasing, being heard, or standing your ground, this one’s for you.
