NOTE

Tyra Banks and Michelle Obama: Authenticity and Effective Communication

Tyra Banks and Michelle Obama are two admirable women who are great communicators. Tyra Banks is underestimated but she's a supermodel, businesswoman, and marketing genius. She is also real, vulnerable, and shares her struggles. On the other hand, Michelle Obama gave an incredible speech during Hillary's campaign. She is warm, real, strong, funny, and inclusive. Both women are authentic and aware of their audience, wanting to make a positive impact on the world.

Speaker 1
There's no way we're all going to be happy and comfortable 24 hours a day. And to have that expectation is really selling yourself short. So
Speaker 2
my second question, and this I'm also really fascinated to hear your answer in. Who is a communicator that you admire and why? You have had such a variety of people you've interacted with. I'm curious to know, who do you admire and why?
Speaker 1
Well, can I give two? For
Speaker 2
you, Allison, two. Nobody else but for you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1
Well, my first choice is Tyra Banks, who I teach a course with, because she is someone who is very underestimated. She's started as a supermodel. She's a brilliant businesswoman. She's a marketing genius. But what I really love about her and what I've learned about her in the last kind of three and a half years of working with her is that she's very real and she really has values that she stands up for and it kind of covers everything, whatever she's talking to you. She's not afraid to be vulnerable. She's not afraid to uncover the warts that are beneath someone who has a standard of beauty. And she's also very free in sharing her struggles. And how you storytell is really important as a communicator.
Speaker 2
So
Speaker 1
that's the real-life thing. And then the other person who I just admire so much is Michelle Obama. When I heard her speech when she was campaigning for Hillary, I think I got chills. I don't think I've ever seen a better communicated presentation in my entire life. That's
Speaker 2
saying something
Speaker 1
too. It is. She's warm. She's real. She's strong. She's funny.
