Ep 74: It’s Not What You Say, It’s How You Say It - The Psychology Behind How We Speak and Communicate with Bill McGowan, Founder and CEO of Clarity Media Group

In this fascinating episode, Melissa sits down with Bill McGowan, Founder and CEO of Clarity Media Group, to explore the art of communication. Bill breaks down how the way we speak in everyday situations profoundly impacts those we interact with. He highlights that public speaking is often the number one fear for most people, but this can be alleviated through breathing techniques and having a clear direction for your message. Melissa reflects on her transformative experience with Bill when she sought his expertise to prepare for officiating the wedding of her dear friends, Simon Huck and Phil Riportella. That single session forever changed the way she speaks and communicates. Together, they discuss how in interviews, you can steer the conversation in your desired direction without needing to answer questions exactly as they are posed. They also discuss the common patterns in human language, the psychology behind filler words, and the importance of listening with genuine intent—valuable tools for anyone tuning in.Limited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE.Visit Ritual.com/movewithheart and 25% off your first month of Ritual will automatically be applied at checkout.Use code Melissa25 for 25% off CBDistillery at www.cbdistillery.com/melissaMelissa Wood-Tepperberg, founder of MWH and host of the Move With Heart Podcast, is a meditation teacher, certified yoga and pilates instructor, certified health coach, and beloved by the diverse community she’s cultivated through her unique approach to fitness and mindfulness over the years.
