All the Hacks with Chris Hutchins

ADVICE

Becoming a Super Communicator

✨Key takeaways:

  • The goal of any conversation is mutual understanding, not necessarily agreement.
  • Super communicators ask significantly more questions than average.
  • Prepare fallback questions to ease conversation anxiety and improve listening.

To become a super communicator, shift your focus from convincing to understanding. Ask deep questions to invite others into the discussion and foster trust. Example: "What did you make of that?".

To change your communication habits:

  1. Have a fallback question. Example: "What did you make of that?"
  2. Practice the fallback question, even when alone.
  3. Prepare fallback topics for conversations to decrease anxiety. Examples: last night's TV show, the weekend's game, upcoming vacation plans.
