Award-winning GC, public speaker, and author Theo Kapodistrias
learnt early how essential it was to speak with myriad stakeholders
in a language they can all understand. Doing so, he says, opens the
door to more successful collaboration and productivity across the
board.
In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome
Doraisamy welcomes back Evergen general counsel Theo Kapodistrias
to discuss how and why he discovered the importance of being a good
communicator and how to speak to others professionally, avoiding
“legalese” where necessary, how the post-pandemic working world
makes good communication even more critical, and the questions
in-house lawyers need to ask of themselves in order to become
better at communication.
Kapodistrias also reflects on the steps he took to bolster his
skill set, the investment of time required, learning how to speak
to different business units, the flow-on effects from better
understanding how to communicate and engage, how high a priority
being a good communicator must be in the current climate,
appreciating the different modes of communication, how and why he
uses video messaging, how and why he is better off – personally and
professionally – for being a good communicator, and the book he is
soon to release on these matters.
