The Seacoast's Communication Expert on Confidence & the Lost Art of Listening

Listen on Spotify Apple Podcasts Watch on YouTube

Competent. Clear. Compelling.

According to Michael Cinquino, these are the traits of an effective communicator.

He calls it the 3C Method, and it's a philosophy that he swears by. A combination of lessons learned from his world-class acting teachers, four years in the U.S. Navy, a past career advising CIOs, teaching at UNH, and running his own small business, the 3C Method is the North Star for a man whom I believe may just be the most interesting man on the Seacoast.
