My Interview with GRWE: Speaking with Purpose, Listening with Intention

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Laura Dunkley, founder of Get Ready With Entrepreneurs (GRWE), as a kick-off to her inspiring livestream series: Energizing an Entrepreneurial Mindset. The episode, titled “Speak with Purpose, Listen with Intention,” was a meaningful conversation aimed at entrepreneurs who are often navigating the transition from corporate careers to building their own businesses.

As someone who made that leap myself, I know firsthand how much mindset matters—and how communication becomes one of the most powerful tools in your entrepreneurial toolkit.

What We Explored

Mindset Shift

We talked about the emotional and strategic transition from corporate employment to entrepreneurship. It’s not just about changing your job - it’s about changing how you think, lead, and connect.

Communication as a Core Skill

Entrepreneurship demands a new level of clarity and confidence in how we speak. Whether you're pitching your services, building partnerships, or leading a team, your words carry weight.

Listening to Learn

One of the most powerful shifts I’ve experienced is learning to listen with the intent to understand - not just to reply. When we truly hear our audience, we gain insights that allow us to serve them more effectively.

Practical Tips

Laura and I shared actionable strategies for improving communication habits, from practicing active listening to refining your message so it resonates with the people you’re here to help.

This interview is a must-watch for anyone stepping into entrepreneurship or looking to elevate their leadership through intentional communication.
