Ep. 56: Stop Hinting. Start Asking. with Elizabeth BachmannYou’re doing great work.But are you actually being heard?In this episode, I’m joined by Elizabeth Bachmann, former opera director turned executive communication coach, to unpack a pattern that keeps many talented professionals invisible at work.We explore why hinting doesn’t work, why being “obvious” to you isn’t obvious to others, and how unclear communication quietly blocks opportunities.You’ll learn:• Why people don’t respond to hints, only to clear asks• The hidden gap between what you think you’re saying and what others hear• How early experiences shape your confidence and communication style• Why facts alone won’t get you buy-in and what to do insteadIf you’ve ever thought, “They know I’m ready”… this episode will challenge that assumption.🎧 Tune in to learn how to communicate in a way that gets you seen, heard, and taken seriously.You can connect with Elizabeth at: https://elizabethbachman.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethbachman/You can connect with Louise at:https://www.louisejefferies.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/louise-jefferies-8495a274/
