Be Intentional With Your Words, with Ely Delaney

40% Better - Engineering Leadership

About
Every time you speak, you create an emotional response, so why not do it on purpose?

Bill Lennan talks with communication coach and The Follow-Up Code author Ely Delaney, who learned leadership running crews for major-label rock shows.

They dig into why intentional communication is the first step of leadership, how recording yourself reveals your real voice, why AI-written content often doesn’t stick, and practical tricks for networking when you’re anxious.

Plus: the story behind Ely’s “Meet Cool People” wristbands and why you should wear one on your phone hand.
