Leah Mether - How to communicate effectively under pressure

Leah Mether helps people get out of their own way with the development of soft skills (which are really hard).

She is a speaker, trainer, coach, facilitator and author of the book Soft is the New Hard: How to Communicate Effectively Under Pressure.

With a background in leadership, corporate communications and journalism, Leah works with executives, leaders and employees across Australia to help them improve their communication, mindset and self-management.

Leah lives in the small town of Willow Grove overlooking Blue Rock Lake in Gippsland, Victoria with her husband and three energetic sons.

She is a dedicated community volunteer, trained speaker for beyondblue, and a raging chocoholic.

In this episode we speak about everything from the importance of backing yourself, through to starting a business, overcoming fear, the problem with perfection, communication under pressure, emotional intelligence, and self-management at times of stress.
