Christian Hansen with Talia Riley

In this episode of Creating Confident Communication, I’m joined by Christian Hansen, two-time #1 bestselling author, LinkedIn Top 10 ranked author, and creator of The Influence Mindset series. Why do some people consistently get chosen for opportunities, promotions, partnerships, and leadership while others with equal talent get overlooked? Christian shares the practical communication skills and mindset shifts that help you stand out in a genuine, authentic way. Together, we explore how the words you choose, the questions you ask, and the way you communicate can dramatically influence the opportunities that come your way. You’ll discover why influence isn’t about manipulation, it’s about creating trust, communicating your value, and helping others clearly see the unique strengths you bring. Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, speaker, or simply someone who wants stronger relationships and greater impact, this conversation will give you actionable tools to communicate with more confidence, increase your influence, and become someone people naturally want to choose. If you’ve ever wondered how to communicate in a way that opens doors, builds meaningful connections, and creates new possibilities, this episode is for you.
