About the Episode
This week our special guest is Stef Tschida, founder of Tschida Communications (https://www.tschidacommunications.com), a strategic communications company. Stef also founded Minnesota College Essay Coach (https://www.mncollegeessaycoach.com), an organisation aiming to help bring better communications skills to those seeking enrolment at universities.
In our discussion with Stef, we cover:
- What are some of the most important things to remember when communicating with others?
- How to know if the communication you tried landed with the recipient and was understood?
- How best to know what your audience wants and needs to hear?
- How can people overcome the fear of being told, “you should know this” or “you’re the expert” when asking a question or asking for advice?
- What’s been valuable to you from a mentoring perspective as Stef became an entrepreneur?
- How to balance working, growing a business, outside interests and life, and keeping well-being in the mix?
- What’s the difference between urgent and important?
And stay tuned for the best advice Stef ever received from a mentor!

About the Guest:
Stef Tschida spent 15 years working in all aspects of corporate communications before starting her own communications consultancy. She has supported some of the biggest organizations in some of the most highly regulated industries, but today Tschida finds she’s most passionate about helping small and mid-sized companies clearly communicate to those who matter most to their success. Tschida’s professional motto is, “No stakeholder left behind,” and that’s exactly the promise she brings to her work. She has led public relations, client communications, and internal communications at regional and global levels, so she thinks about all relevant audiences when it’s time to communicate information.
