Preparing for a conversation by setting goals and thinking about the desired outcome significantly impacts the quality of the interaction. Techniques like looping for understanding and identifying conversation goals help in fostering a civil and clear dialogue. Even in anxiety-inducing situations like talking to strangers, writing down discussion topics beforehand boosts confidence and reduces anxiety levels, ultimately leading to more successful and productive conversations. This preparation diminishes the apprehension stemming from the fear of the unknown reactions or saying the wrong things during conflict conversations.

Have you ever wondered if there’s a secret to unlocking effortless and effective communication?

At some point, you’ve probably found yourself feeling tongue-tied, misunderstood, or simply like you can’t get your point across when talking to another person. The ability to connect with others can often look like a superpower. But science tells us anyone can be a supercommunicator—you just have to learn how.

I’m excited to welcome Charles Duhigg to the show today. Charles is a Pulitzer prize-winning author. Through in-depth research, he’s cracked the science and art of communication. His storytelling has landed him on the New York Times bestselling list multiple times, and he’s here to talk about his latest book, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection.

When you’re in a deep conversation and having a moment of connection, it’s reflected in your body and brain. Your breathing, heart rate, even your neural activity, all synchronizes with the other person. Listen in as Charles reveals the three habits all supercommunicators have, and how you can practice them to develop deeper, more meaningful connection with others.
