Communication is one of the most talked-about leadership skills—and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode, Bryce sits down with executive coach Emma Collyer, founder of Aspire Executive Coaching, to unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface of workplace communication.

From feedback conversations that fall flat to teams that feel disconnected, this discussion reveals why lack of trust—and the inability to truly listen—are often the real problems.

You’ll learn how to move from one-way communication to meaningful, two-way conversations that drive engagement, performance, and trust.

If you’ve ever felt like your message isn’t landing… or your team isn’t fully engaged, this episode will give you practical ways to fix it.

What we cover:

• Why employees feel unheard (even when leaders think they’re clear)

• The connection between feedback and trust

• Communication habits that quietly damage team dynamics

• How to give feedback that actually lands

• The role of active listening in effective leadership

• Simple ways to turn tough conversations into growth opportunities
