There’s a moment before you speak where everything tightens—your thoughts, your voice, your confidence. And in that split second, most leaders don’t have a communication problem… they have a decision problem: do I say this, or do I hold back?My guest today is Salvatore Manzi. He is a  leadership communications coach who helps leaders turn complexity into clarity. His book, Clear and Compelling, combines 20+ years of research in neuroscience, psychology, and organizational behavior with decades of communication coaching to deliver practical strategies for turning insights into influence.Note: The teacher Salvatore was referring to in the podcast but couldn’t remember is Byron Katie.Connect with Salvatore: https://www.salvatoremanzi.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/salvatorejmanzi/https://www.instagram.com/salvatoremanzi/At The Second Voice, we explore the inner conversations leaders rarely say out loud.If this episode resonated, it is likely because the second voice is active in your leadership too.Hosted by Luisa Hogan, leadership resilience strategist and founder of Vermelho Consulting.Luisa works with founders, executives, and senior leaders who carry real responsibility and want to lead with steadiness, clarity, and self-trust under pressure.Her work focuses on nervous system regulation, leadership identity, and the inner dialogue that shapes how leaders show up when things are hard.Work With LuisaIf this episode sparked reflection, here are ways to go deeper:• Leadership resilience workshops and advisory• Keynotes and curated live experiences• The Steady Leadership framework and private sessions Learn more at: vermelho.com.au Stay ConnectedFollow along and join the conversation: • Instagram: @thesecondvoicepodcast• Instagram: @luisahoganhq Subscribe, rate, and review The Second Voice to help more leaders find these conversations.
