Accent Coach Jay Poulton Talks Executive Presence, Communication & The Authority Gap

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with author, former journalist, executive leadership coach, and communication expert Jay Poulton. This ICF-credentialed executive coach brings more than two decades of experience in communications, journalism, leadership development, and coaching. As founder of The Accent Coach, Jay works one-on-one with senior leaders in more than thirty-five countries, including executives at Apple, Amazon, and FedEx. At the heart of his work is what he calls “The Authority Gap” — the distance between what a leader is truly capable of and what others actually hear, perceive, and respond to. Through communication coaching, executive presence training, and leadership development, Jay helps leaders strengthen clarity, confidence, influence, and authentic connection. Growing up in Canada with a father connected to the legendary Montreal Canadiens organization also played a meaningful role in shaping his perspective, communication style, and life journey. From his base in Canada, we dive into his fascinating career, leadership philosophy, coaching work, storytelling, communication strategies, and the lessons he has learned along the way. In this interview, we discuss executive communication, leadership presence, public speaking, confidence, accent coaching, personal growth, emotional intelligence, coaching, influence, storytelling, career evolution, and professional development. He’s full of wisdom, insight, and practical strategies for leaders everywhere. Enjoy this interview with Jay Poulton. More Jay Poulton & The Accent Coach: For More Famous Interviews:
