Talking vs. Communicating? You’re Probably Doing One Wrong with Nikki Langman

In this episode of the Find Your Influence podcast, Anton Guinea sits down with award-winning author and emotional intelligence expert Nikki Langman to unpack what it means to be an unbreakable and restorative leader in a world facing an ongoing crisis. After overcoming early technical hiccups, they explore Nikki’s Unbreakable program, which blends emotional intelligence with Lego Serious Play to make complex human behavior and hard topics like mental health accessible and engaging. Nikki explains her current focus on somatic and restorative leadership and argues that modern leaders must first learn to truly listen, build psychological safety, and restore burned-out, fragmented teams. Together, they redefine influence as a blend of credibility, likability, and trust, grounded in genuine care and vulnerability. Nikki also shares her journey through addiction and adversity and introduces her badass framework, which emphasizes bravery, authenticity, direction, action, self-love, and self-talk as the path to self-mastery and resilient leadership.
