The key question is how to remind ourselves of the importance of being kind and listening to our internal voice amidst challenging moments. One approach is to have a 'why' or true north, a guiding purpose that serves as a filter for our actions and decisions. By aligning our actions with our purpose, such as inspiring others or doing things that inspire us, we can stay true to what we love and aspire to be.
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.
