The Conversations We're Not Having with Andrew Blotky

We all communicate... but are we really saying what matters? So often, the most critical conversations at work are the ones we avoid. We dodge them to keep the peace, to protect ourselves, or because no one ever taught us how to navigate them well.

"Anything worth communicating is because you want somebody to know, do, or feel something. If it’s not landing, it doesn’t matter how you said it." - Andrew Blotky

In this episode of Unserious, we dig into what gets in the way of honest dialogue—and what becomes possible when we move through it. Leadership and communications expert Andrew Blotky, author of Honestly Speaking: How the Way We Communicate Transforms Leadership, Love, and Life and founder of Azure Leadership Group joins us to explore:

• Why self-awareness (and knowing your audience) matters more than what you say
• How clarity is one of the most underrated leadership superpowers
• Ways to give (and get) feedback that actually builds trust
• Simple frameworks for listening better, fostering inclusion, and making hard conversations less scary

It’s candid, a little irreverent, and full of practical wisdom you can bring to your next meeting.
