38. Questioning Everything, Living Intentionally, and Why Singing in Meetings Changes Everything | Jordan Harcourt-Hughes

What if words aren't enough to truly connect with others?

And what if there's an entire dimension of communication we're missing, one that could transform how we lead, how we listen, and how we create trust in our teams?

Today I'm joined by Jordan Harcourt-Hughes, an abstract painter, writer, and communications specialist who's spent fifteen years leading creative teams across the Asia-Pacific. Jordan's journey began with what she calls her "early midlife crisis" at nineteen. A pivotal moment when she realised that traditional language wasn't the complete picture for human connection.

We explore the fascinating concept of vibrational language.How our bodies communicate beyond words, why singing in Monday morning meetings might be more revolutionary than you think, and what happens when we learn to listen not just with our ears, but with our entire being.

Whether you're leading strategy sessions that feel stuck, or simply curious about creating deeper connection in your work, this conversation will change how you think about the spaces between what we say and what we truly communicate.
