Many of us desire to have influence but seem to be stopped by some invisible force. No matter how much we try, it doesn't seem like anyone is listening. In today's show, we chat with Steve Herz on how three key communication tools: Authority, Warmth, and Energy (AWE) are the keys to unlock the potential inside of us. Steve has represented and coached dozens of sports, media, and entertainment leaders over the course of nearly three decades. Over those years Steve has helped those industry leaders reach their potential in part because of the AWE method he developed. We also talk about his career representing some of the biggest names in sports and broadcasting.
