Signal Up: The Secret Language of Unshakable Teams

What are the signals your team is receiving from you every single day, even when you think you are not sending any at all?

In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I reflect on my recent work facilitating deep listening sessions inside organizations and what those moments quietly communicate to employees. Again and again, I hear the same response. Something feels different. Something feels like it is shifting. The signal is not a speech or a strategy deck. It is presence. It is being seen. It is knowing someone is actually listening.

I talk about why listening is one of the clearest expressions of caring leadership and how intentional signals can change culture faster than most formal initiatives. When people feel heard, they invest more. They stay engaged. They support one another. And they find strength even when work feels heavy or uncertain.

This episode also turns inward. I explore the signals our own bodies send us every day and what happens when we ignore them. Unshakable does not mean unhurt or unaffected. It means grounded. It means having tools such as reframing, breathing, and self-awareness that help us steady ourselves before we crumble.

As you listen, I invite you to consider this. What signals are you intentionally placing for your team, your family, and yourself? And what might change if you slowed down long enough to truly receive them?
