INSIGHT

Communication Channels Matter Most

  • Words are just one of four communication channels, with nonverbal cues carrying 60-90% of the message's weight.
  • Congruence across verbal, nonverbal, vocal, and imagery channels is essential to avoid being misunderstood.
ADVICE

Balance Warmth and Competence

  • Balance warmth and competence in your communication to be both likable and taken seriously.
  • Avoid too much warmth or competence alone, as imbalance leads to being misunderstood or ignored.
ADVICE

Politely Mirror Emojis

  • Mirror others' emoji style to match their communication dialect politely.
  • Avoid strictly mirroring to prevent coming off as insincere; use mirroring to show respect.
