  • Why Your Message Isn’t Landing: Communicating With Influence in a Noisy World

    Why Your Message Isn’t Landing: Communicating With Influence in a Noisy World
    Mar 31 2026

    How can leaders communicate so their messages break through the noise? In a world flooded with information, notifications, emails, and meetings, the ability to communicate clearly and effectively has never been more important. But effective communication isn’t just about speaking well or writing a polished email (I see you AI). It’s about knowing how to share ideas in a way that builds trust, earns credibility, and inspires action. In this episode of The Lida Citroën Podcast, Lida sits down with Sarah Blansett, former Vice President at Military.com and US Navy Public Affairs Officer, to explore what it really takes to communicate with clarity and influence in today’s fast-moving professional world. Drawing from her experience in journalism, military communications, and digital media, Sarah shares practical insights on how leaders can strengthen their voice, avoid common communication mistakes, and build stronger relationships through empathy and intentional messaging. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why empathy, not emotion, is the key to effective communication • How leaders can build credibility when they don’t have all the answers • The “Edit Three Times” rule for writing clearer, more effective messages • Why brevity and clarity matter when communicating with decision-makers • How to communicate effectively across cultures, generations, and remote teams • The role AI is playing in communication, and how human voice still matters most If you want your message to break through the noise and build trust with your audience, this episode will help you communicate with greater clarity and impact.

  • How to Strengthen Your Influence With Key Stakeholders

    How to Strengthen Your Influence With Key Stakeholders
    Mar 17 2026
    Many accomplished leaders believe that if they work hard, deliver results, and stay visible, opportunities will naturally follow. But building influence works differently, and they find themselves: • Visible, but not influential with decision-makers • Working hard, but overlooked in critical conversations • Publishing thought leadership, but attracting the wrong audience • Navigating a career transition or layoff without clarity on how to re-engage the right stakeholders Influence is determined by this critical question: What do your key stakeholders need to see, hear, and consistently experience from you in order to trust you? In this episode of The Lida Citroën Podcast, Lida explains how leaders can strategically strengthen their influence by ensuring the right stakeholders know them, trust them, and advocate for them when they’re not in the room. You’ll learn how to identify the stakeholders who control your ideal opportunities, how to align your visibility with their priorities, and how to build the trust that drives influence at the highest levels of leadership. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: How to Identify Your Key Stakeholders Learn how to determine who actually shapes your opportunities(board members, executive peers, investors, clients, and decision-makers)and distinguish them from a general audience. What Stakeholders Need to Know About You Clarify the leadership narrative you must consistently communicate to strengthen your authority, credibility, and strategic value. How Stakeholders Need to Feel About You Understand the emotional drivers of executive influence, confidence, reliability, strategic clarity, and alignment with business priorities, and why leaders must address both functional and emotional needs. How to Strategically Curate a Network of Sponsors Learn how to build relationships and nurture a network of sponsors and position yourself at their top of mind, so they’ll advocate with you when you’re not in the room. If you want to strengthen your leadership presence, expand your influence, and ensure the right people are advocating for you, this episode will show you how.

  • The AI Paradox: Is Technology Making Leaders Smarter or Weaker?

    The AI Paradox: Is Technology Making Leaders Smarter or Weaker?
    Mar 3 2026

    Have you ever finished reading something interesting and realized you don’t remember a single word?

    In a world flooded with information and powered by AI, leaders are consuming more than ever. But are we actually retaining it? And more importantly, can we apply it when it matters most?

    In this episode, Lida sits down with Charles Good, leadership and learning science expert and President of the Institute for Management Studies, to unpack:

    • The AI Paradox: How AI can strengthen or weaken your thinking

    • Why most professional learning fails (and it’s not because you’re not smart)

    • Why reading more books won’t automatically make you a better leader

    • How storytelling dramatically increases retention

    • The difference between goals and systems in sustainable growth

    • The science behind spaced learning and habit stacking

    If you want to differentiate your leadership brand, build stronger judgment, and ensure your learning actually sticks, this conversation is essential!

    In an AI-enabled world, your competitive advantage is how well you think.
