Exploring the importance of authentic communication and forming trust in human interactions, with a compelling story of a CIA officer recruiting a valuable source in the Middle East. Discussing the significance of asking deep questions, recognizing different types of conversations, and going off script to build meaningful relationships.
Great communicators aren't born that way. They're self-made.
Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist whose new book, Supercommunicators, explores how some people have unlocked the secret language of connection.
Charles and I discuss what makes these "supercommunicators" unique, why we need stories to convey ideas, and how being honest once saved a CIA recruiter his job.
This...is A Bit of Optimism.
