About Stephanie Licata

Listen to my Podcast NO JERKS ALLOWED: REAL TALK ON LEADERSHIP on APPLE or SPOTIFY. Do the Leaders in Your Organization Speak the Language of Leadership?Leadership isn’t just about authority, it’s about connection, clarity, and coaching. The best leaders speak a language that inspires teams and drives performance: active listening, feedback, acknowledgment, and curiosity.Yet Gallup shows that 70% of employee engagement is tied directly to the quality of leadership. When leaders lack key communication skills, engagement, retention, and results suffer.I’m Stephanie Licata, a leadership consultant, curriculum designer, and ICF-certified coach with over 20 years of experience.
