"For more than ten years, I’ve been working with people and teams to understand what really happens when people connect and why," said AdvoCast founder, Shawn P Neal. From 2012 to 2022, he spent his professional career consulting and coaching leadership, teams, and individuals in Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and Organizational Emotional Intelligence (O-EQ), a concept he developed based on the idea that once teams and leadership are aligned in EQ, then the organization is able to build more human-centric policies, procedures, and culture collectively.
Those experiences revealed something bigger than any single project: a pattern of human communication that determines whether trust, engagement, and alignment take root or fall apart.
That body of work became what is now known as the Human Impact Blueprint™, a framework for building authentic human connection in organizations through three universal conditions: Trust. Clarity. Resonance.
From decade-long discovery to organizational alignment
The Human Impact Blueprint™ wasn’t created in a conference room, it evolved across real training rooms, tense conversations, and leadership sessions starting in 2012 and refined over 10 years of applications.
Each experience revealed what happens when communication shifts from reactive to intentional:
Trust: When trust is protected before feedback is given.
Clarity: When clarity is defined not just by information, but by shared understanding.
Resonance: When resonance — the emotional alignment of tone and intent — turns words into influence.
By 2025, the Blueprint had become a codified system, ready to scale across organizations. That’s when AdvoCast made the decision to align its entire business around it.
Why AdvoCast had to evolve
AdvoCast began in 2021 as a podcast production company. But as the world of work evolved, so did the challenges we were helping clients solve.
It became clear that our true value was how Shawn's previous work in leadership development and workplace culture could transform the way internal podcasts connect with stakeholders. And then we went deeper, because the framework was already there to help our clients in a much more significant way, That's when we decided to align everything we did around it. And we became super excited when we saw that the Human Impact Blueprint™ could positively impact the future of work- the model had already proven it's value.
So we redefined AdvoCast as what it was always meant to be:
a strategic communications consultancy dedicated to helping organizations embed authentic human connection into how they work, lead, and communicate.
What that looks like now
The Human Impact Blueprint™ Immersion
The Human Impact Blueprint™ Workshop is a facilitated experience that helps teams reexamine how communication shapes culture through trust, clarity, and resonance
The Human Impact Blueprint™ Integration
The Human Impact Blueprint™ Integration is a time-bound consulting and coaching engagement that embeds the Blueprint’s principles — Trust, Clarity, and Resonance — into leadership, communication systems, and culture.
Internal Media as Activation Tools
Media strategy and production designed to activate the Blueprint through storytelling. We help organizations create internal podcasts that model trust, transparency, and resonance — ensuring communication feels human, not scripted.
The Future of Work and Why This Matters
Organizations today face an unprecedented communication challenge.
Messages are everywhere, but meaning often gets lost. Technology has accelerated information flow, but emotional alignment hasn’t kept pace.
The Human Impact Blueprint™ restores balance, aligning message with intent, tone with empathy, and leadership with culture.
When trust, clarity, and resonance work together, communication stops being a liability and becomes the most powerful tool for organizational health.
The Meaning Behind Our Name
AdvoCast reflects both where we came from and who we’ve become.
Advo represents advocacy... standing for human connection, empathy, and trust in communication. Cast speaks to broadcast. Simply put, our roots in media and storytelling, and our continued belief that every message has a frequency that can shape culture.
We’ve evolved from a podcast production company into a communications consultancy because the world doesn’t just need more messages, it needs messages that matter.
Our Commitment
We believe communication isn’t just about what you say, it’s about the human impact you create when you say it.
That’s what we build, teach, and embed every day.
Because how you communicate is how you lead. And when you lead with trust, clarity, and resonance, you don’t just change how people work, you change how they connect
