Communication

is Key

Each person has a preferred style of communication. Whether that style is task focused or people focused, good leaders know not everyone on their team communicates the same way. Through our partnership with Insight Edge and its course, “The Art of Understanding People . . . Made Easy”, Costa Media Advisors works with teams utilizing a communication assessment and a half-day workshop to first identify one’s communication profile and how to identify the four common communication styles. They learn how to adapt and modify one’s message so those with differing patterns hear and understand the information that is being communicated.

About

Why is Communication Important to Mike Costa

Mike Costa led broadcast teams for more than 30 years. He excelled at communicating, whether it be large audiences, specific teams or individuals. Over the course of the 30+ year career, he learned that while the message may be the same, how he imparted that information to his director of sales needed to be delivered in a different way for his director of engineering. 

When Mike left the broadcast industry in 2021, he started Costa Media Advisors to help businesses get their message out to their potential customers. That focus has narrowed to helping leaders become better communicators with their teams so the team becomes more effective and efficient. Mike works with companies to teach the different communication styles and how to identify and understand the different styles of communication so it leads to an effective and efficient team.

Separately, as a passion project, Mike launched My Morning Cup podcast in 2023 with his daughters and their generation in mind. So much social media infers success is easy. It is not. My Morning Cup podcast tells the very real stories of people who have advanced their career through the ups and downs of life. (Link to the podcast is below.).

Each week, this hyper-local podcast talks to area leaders (leaders come in all shapes, sizes and vocations) about their career journeys. The conversation doesn’t just focus on the successes, it is about the lessons learned along the way including all the bumps and bruises.

Mike’s track record of driving results is the cornerstone for Costa Media Advisors, LLC. Let’s work together. Give us a call or inquire below.

The Art of Understanding People…Made Easy

It all starts with communication, but communicating is easier said than done. Whether a message is simply heard or genuinely understood depends on a multitude of factors, including how the message is received by the recipient. In an organization with multiple personality types. This can be tricky, which is why Costa Media Advisors partners with Insight Edge (“The Art of Understanding People . . . Made Easy”), a proven professional communication evaluation program designed to help individuals improve how they communicate with others to ultimately become more effective leaders.

The result is you no longer have a manager of people; you have a leader who understands how to listen and how to impart a message that is better crafted to each team member’s communication style. This approach results in a leader who serves their team with confidence and produces results.
