Welcome to the show
In this episode of The One-to-One Thing, I reconnect with an old friend and an incredible leader, Michelle Adams, Vice President of Gordon Training International. Michelle’s been with the company—founded by her father, Dr. Thomas Gordon—for over 32 years, and she’s on a mission to spread effective communication skills around the worldc
In this insightful conversation, we explore:
✅ The core principles of the Gordon Model and how they apply to both work and family life
✅ Why true leadership is about influence, not authority
✅ How listening beyond words can transform relationships
✅ The importance of expressing needs clearly to avoid assumptions and conflict
Michelle also shares her deep love for Disneyland! - her weekly “Vitamin D” therapy that restores her joy and creativity!
💡 Main Takeaway: Effective communication isn’t about power or control. It’s about understanding needs, listening deeply, and fostering relationships where everyone feels seen and heard.
