461. “You’re Forcing People to Speak Your Language” | Voice-Driven Leadership with Jeremie Kubicek
Apr 13, 2026
In this episode, we sit down with Jeremie Kubicek, globally recognized speaker, author, leadership expert, and co-founder of Giant Worldwide. Jeremie has spent decades helping leaders and organizations build healthier cultures through trust, self-awareness, and practical people development. His latest book, The Voice Driven Leader, brings that mission into sharp focus by showing how better communication starts with understanding how other people are wired.
Our conversation goes far beyond leadership theory. Jeremie shares how life-altering experiences, from living through chaos in post-Soviet Russia to surviving a devastating near-fatal accident, reshaped his view of ambition, performance, and influence.
From there, we explore the Five Voices framework and how leaders can stop pushing people to respond like they would and start speaking in ways others can actually hear. We also get into how AI can support that process, not by replacing human connection, but by helping us become more curious, thoughtful, and effective in the way we lead.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
“I do something called ‘a call up’. When I'm in the shower, I call myself up into who I am and my identity and I get rid of any negativity that's in my mind, in my life”
