Former FBI hostage negotiator and author Chris Voss joined us for E67 educating us on how to be a world class communicator. One of the most profound pearls of wisdom of the enlightening chat was also the simplest: just listen. We talk at around 150 words a minute yet are capable of listening to around 600 words in the same period. Our brains are often thinking ahead, planning our response.
