Today, I’m joined by Angela R. Lewis—former professional basketball player, coach, author, and communication strategist. At her core, Angela is a connector and a coach, someone who has spent her life helping people grow—on the court, in the workplace, and in life.

In this episode, Angela and I explore the powerful parallels between sports, leadership, and communication. We talk about what truly makes someone a great communicator, why understanding your audience matters more than having the perfect message, and how authenticity, energy, and intentional listening can dramatically elevate your impact. Angela also shares why communication is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and improved—and how feedback and coaching play a critical role in that growth.

Angela brings a refreshing mix of insight, optimism, and real-world experience to this conversation, with practical takeaways for leaders, athletes, and professionals at every stage of their journey.
