Voice of Influence presents leadership communication as a discipline of service, judgment, and repeated practice. Andrea Joy Wenberg brings guests into conversations that usually start with a concrete workplace issue. Then the discussion widens. A compensation question becomes a conversation about growth and market value. A leadership question becomes a conversation about uncertainty. A confidence question becomes a pattern of daily mental rehearsal. The show is business-focused, but it does not treat business as isolated from values, family, community, or mission. Matt Allmand’s episode connects CEO peer groups with strategic change, nonprofit scale, and anti-trafficking work. Kevin Eikenberry’s conversation emphasizes flexible leadership when certainty is unavailable. Don Eggle’s episode frames energy and excellence through emotional grounding rather than surface circumstance. Scott Trumboltz brings compensation planning down to business need, skill acquisition, and the practical logic of pay. Eric Seacrest’s story moves from a family newspaper company into foundation leadership and civic boards. Samantha Pesek adds an athlete’s lens on confidence as something built through repetition, not something people simply possess. Leigh Burtis brings burnout, bold moves, and support for people taking difficult first steps. The remote leadership episode gives the show a remote-work angle, with humor around denial and a sharper claim about a major workplace shift. Across these episodes, the pacing is conversational but purposeful. Wenberg tends to position guests as practitioners with lived experience, then draws out lessons that leaders can apply inside teams, companies, and communities. The show’s strongest throughline is not personal branding in the shallow sense. It is the idea that influence becomes credible when tied to development, collaboration, courage, and clear communication. That makes the show useful for managers, founders, coaches, nonprofit leaders, and ambitious professionals who want language for leading people without flattening the human stakes. It favors practical reflection over quick tips, and its best moments sit where professional growth meets moral responsibility.
Made for: Best for managers, founders, coaches, nonprofit leaders, and career-minded professionals who think communication should improve collaboration, retention, adaptability, and trust. It suits listeners who want leadership development grounded in real workplace stories.
What sets it apart: Voice of Influence stands apart by connecting communication strategy to leadership behavior, culture change, mentorship, compensation, confidence, and mission-driven service. The interviews are less about personal polish and more about making influence useful inside real organizations.
Voice of Influence: Personal Brand and Communication Strategy for Message-Driven Leaders is a podcast featuring interviews with thought leaders and experts who have a highly developed voice of influence. Creative, message-driven leaders will appreciate the support, insight and advice that will help them develop their own voice and compelling communication that makes a difference in the world.
