Episode 11

The Essence of Confident and Transformative Conversations with Tony Acosta

This week, we are joined by Tony Acosta, the head organiser of TEDx Timpview Drive, where we explore the art and impact of communication. Tony shares his journey from growing up in a home where different communication styles clashed to his passion for understanding and teaching the art of conversation.

Our discussion reveals the often-overlooked consequences of ineffective communication in our personal lives, society, and workplaces. We discuss the importance of being heard and valued and how transformative communication can change lives. We also explore how to craft messages that motivate and provide actionable steps for change.

Throughout the episode, we share stories and advice that can help you find your unique voice and path. We discuss the story of a broadcaster who demonstrated composure in the face of unexpected adversity, and we advise against the "fake it till you make it" mentality. Whether you are a student, a professional, or someone looking to improve your communication skills, this episode has something for you.
