  • When to Speak Up

    When to Speak Up
    Jan 27 2026
    We spend so much time waiting for the “perfect moment” to speak up — but the truth is, that moment rarely comes. In this episode, I break down why delaying hard conversations only creates bigger problems, how to recognize when now is the right time, and a simple framework to help you decide when to speak and when to pause. You’ll learn the difference between a better time and a perfect time (spoiler: one doesn’t exist), plus a golden rule that can save you from saying something you’ll regret. If there’s a conversation you’ve been putting off, this episode is for you. *BONUS* see if you can spot the nugget at the start of this episode before we dive in 😆 Order The Next Conversation Workbook: https://www.jeffersonfisher.com/workbook Thank you to our sponsors: Cozy Earth.

  • The Lawyer’s Method to Shut Down Narcissism

    The Lawyer’s Method to Shut Down Narcissism
    Jan 20 2026
    If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling spun, rattled, or subtly controlled, this episode is for you. Drawing directly from my experience as a trial lawyer, I break down the exact strategy I use in court to disarm manipulative and narcissistic behavior—without escalating, over-explaining, or losing your footing. You’ll learn how to stop their momentum, respond in a way that gives them nothing to grab onto, and use one powerful phrase that instantly puts you back in control of the conversation.

  • How to Sound Assertive Without Sounding Rude

    How to Sound Assertive Without Sounding Rude
    Jan 13 2026
    In this episode, I break down how to communicate clearly and confidently without crossing into rude or aggressive territory. You’ll learn why tone matters more than words, how to frame sentences so people actually listen, and why the most assertive communicators say less, not more. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too soft” or worried about coming off harsh, this one will change how you speak immediately.

I came across your posts on instagram and have been hooked ever since. I blurt out responses and continue to talk and talk and talk. Taking a breath is the key for me, it’s my first word, a breath, what a revelation. My brain runs at a million miles an hour, late diagnosis of ADHD has given me clarity about the way I communicate. Your podcasts are perfect for me, your clear and use simple language and techniques. I fill silence with fluff, I’m going to practice getting comfortable with silence. Thank you, you have made a huge difference to my life

Since the very first reel I saw of Jefferson on Instagram I was hooked on his advice.
Jefferson answers a lot of questions I’ve had in my mind about how to handle certain situations or people. He delivers the information in such a way that I completely understand, relate with and have even found ways to apply in my life.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and nature with the rest of us Jefferson. Your voice has now got a place in my mind that will help me in those situations I previously did not know how to approach. The world is a better place with you in it and I wish you success and happiness!

Jefferson is The Best!
