Marshall Davis Jones opens up this conversation by sharing how breaking boards, hard and soft, symbolize how we dance with impact. In a firewalking retreat he helped to facilitate, he witnessed how people used the board breaking to let go of what no longer served and to deepen the commitment to what they wanted to transform into. “Marshall Davis Jones is a poet, speaker, and communication coach specializing in affective presence. He is the Founder and CEO of GNTL STRNGTH and Mind Body Speak. The 5X TEDX speaker has had his poems flown into space by NASA, has shared some stages with the likes of Will.I.Am & Simon Sinek, and somehow along the way has coached the ATF, SFPD, and former hostage negotiator Chris Voss. He’s appeared on Access Daily with Mario Lopez and appears as himself in Ray Romano’s film, “Somewhere In Queens.” He is the author of “Tonal Influence: How to Listen Better, Speak Clearer, and Set The Tone.” (Source: Marshall Davis Jones) In his inimitable and poetic way in this pod conversation, Marshall shares how movement can help you strengthen your impact and hone your communications; how tone is so important to relationships and to becoming influential; how your body shows your “tell”; and how to create the type of strength that allows you to be gentle. And why that matters. If you want to hear a “master of communication” at work, this entertaining episode is for you! He models in his delivery all the things that he can coach you on and more.
