In this episode of Small Biz Florida, host Tom Kindred welcomes Hillary Blair, CEO and Co-founder of Articulate Real and Clear, for a conversation recorded live at the 2025 Florida Economic Development Council Annual Conference in Charlotte Harbor. Hillary shares her unique journey from drama teacher to sought-after communication coach for entrepreneurs nationwide. What started with coaching women on pitch delivery has grown into a mission to help business leaders communicate with confidence and clarity. She introduces the idea of "fruitful friction"—productive tension that fuels innovation—and offers practical tools for navigating conversations before they become conflicts. Listeners will walk away with tips on managing awkward moments, using voice and body language effectively, and crafting impactful messages. This episode is a masterclass in how small business owners can connect more authentically and communicate their value with precision.
