Communication Is Key, But How Do We Do It? Uncut with Charles Duhigg

We’ve said it a hundred times; communication is everything. But we aren’t really ever taught how to actually communicate. What makes someone a good communicator? And why is it so important? People aren’t just born good communicators and it’s something that we can all improve our skills on.

Joining the podcast today is Pulitzer prize winning reporter and author Charles Duhigg. Charles’ most recent book titled ‘supercommunicators’ investigated the simple and tested methods for communicating and connecting with anyone. Charles went deep on what exactly makes someone THE person that everyone wants to have conversations with; whether it be in your romantic relationship, at work, with friends and even with strangers.

We speak about:

  • How having ‘different types’ conversations with partners is likely why you feel misunderstood or not listened to
  • Becoming ‘neurally entrained’ and using the ‘matching principle’ to be a good communicator
  • How to ask the right questions
  • The communication of conflict and how to avoid it - ‘when you’re feeling furious, get curious.’
  • Can you ‘learn’ to use communication in a manipulative way
  • EQ, unlike EQ is learned, not born with
  • The difference between true vulnerability and fake vulnerability
