Ep.1353 - Communicate Like You’re Diffusing a Bomb

How Bomb Disposal Can Improve Your Remote Meetings

Jumping around topics in a virtual meeting is like frantically cutting wires without knowing which one will set off the alarm; it’s confusing, stressful, and ineffective. In this episode, I share a memorable analogy for running smoother remote meetings (and in-person communications) by staying in one “activity frame” at a time.

You’ll learn how this principle applies not just to Zoom or Teams, but to jobsite huddles, OAC meetings, and even foreman-to-crew instructions. I’ll share examples from my own field experience, including how seasoned carpenters thrived on one-piece-flow communication, and give you a practical mental model you can use immediately.

If you’ve ever struggled to keep a meeting, crew, or conversation on track, this approach will help you deliver your message with clarity and focus.
