Antoni Tzavelas, ACC's Linkedin Analytics

You’re Not a Jerk. You’re Just Avoiding the Truth. You’ve spent your career being told to be professional. To stay composed. Measured. Strategic. To perform, not feel. To communicate without ever getting too real. But deep down, you want more than polished. You want honest. You want to speak your truth without the fear of sounding harsh, awkward, or like a total jerk. The truth? Great communication isn’t about charisma. It’s about emotional intelligence. And emotionally intelligent leaders? They don’t just talk. They connect. They say the hard thing, without making it harder than it needs to be. They build trust without theatrics. They repair what’s broken, not just redirect it. They lead with clarity and care. That’s where I come in. I help heart-forward professionals speak with courage, connect without people-pleasing, and lead conversations that build trust, not tension. Because the hardest part of communication isn’t what to say. It’s saying it in a way that keeps the humanity intact. When you do that? You create spaces where people feel safe to be themselves. You build cultures of clarity, not confusion. And you stop holding your breath every time something real needs to be said. ABOUT ME 🌎 Global Keynote Speaker & Leadership Coach 👥 Coached 100+ leaders 🤝 ICF & EQ-i Certified Coach 🖥️ Ex-engineer & Tech Trainer 💡 6x Career Pivoter 🏅 Ironman finisher 🎀 Bowtie Loyalist 🍕 Pizza-fueled Hey, I’m Antoni. After 20+ years in tech and leadership, I’ve met brilliant, thoughtful humans who deeply care, but freeze when it’s time to speak up. Not because they don’t have the words. But because no one taught them how to lead with both honesty and heart. Through keynotes, coaching, and one brave conversation at a time, I help leaders turn emotional intelligence into real connection, and turn connection into real impact. Because when you lead with EQ, You don’t just communicate. You make people feel seen. --- WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING 🌟 Working with Antoni is the equivalent of the light being turned on in a very dark room that you didn't realize was so dark. I left the engagement aimed like a cruise missile and ready to fire. I couldn't recommend him enough as a coach. - JJ 🌟 Antoni is a talented and amazing coach.
