Do you have the skills, but struggle to find the words? Many "Quiet Achievers" feel that if they just do great work, they will eventually be noticed. But in a competitive landscape, your ability to communicate your impact is just as important as the impact itself.

In this video I sit down with HR leader and coach Irina Posan to deconstruct the "Communication Gap" that keeps brilliant professionals stuck. We discuss:

The 90-Second Pitch: Why the first minute of your "Tell me about yourself" answer determines your success.

The Venn Diagram of Value: How to filter your communication so you only speak about what matters to the hiring manager.

Storytelling vs. Reporting: Why listing your duties fails, but sharing structured "Top Stories" wins.

Energy & Presence: How to shift from "needy" communication to "high-value" conviction.
