Meet Leah Bonvissuto: Workplace Communication Consultant and founder of PresentVoices. She helps people talk to each other and have more meaningful conversations at work.
Raised by a Broadway musician and a mime-turned-magician, Leah spent many years as a theater director and started doing this work in public hospitals. Today, her work is living theater—she has helped thousands of people talk to each other at companies including LinkedIn, Facebook, Google, AIG, Robin Hood, and New York-Presbyterian.
Effective communication is key to the success of every business. In order to have a culture of innovation, employees must feel safe and empowered to share their ideas and struggles. Communication problems have been called “the silent killer” of companies by the Harvard Business Review.
Leah does this work not because it comes naturally to her but because it doesn’t. She developed a system of tangible tools that has helped her and thousands of people manage speaking nerves, prepare for spontaneous speaking, have challenging conversations, think on their feet, and be more present. Leah has built data assessments that show the need for this work and the impact of it.
