In this episode of the Realtor180 podcast, Shawn Kunkler, Founder of the Homeward Associates Group out of San Francisco, sits down with communication expert and author Antoinette Perez to explore how short, intentional communication can create outsized results in business, leadership, and sales.
Drawing from her book Tiny Talks Big Impact, Antoinette breaks down what makes communication effective and why saying less often leads to more trust, more clarity, and better outcomes. Together, they discuss the role of public speaking, persuasive communication, and presentation skills in real estate and beyond, including how silence, structure, and storytelling shape how people listen and take action.
This conversation covers practical strategies for:
- Improving communication skills in business and leadership
- Using short presentations to build trust with clients
- Strengthening sales communication and listing presentations
- Finding your voice as a speaker and facilitator
- Developing confidence in speaking without over-explaining
Whether you’re a real estate professional, business owner, or someone focused on personal growth and professional development, this episode offers actionable insights into how better communication leads to stronger relationships and better results.
