TCF942: Are You Communicating?

In today’s digital world, it is easy to communicate through text or email and avoid verbal, face-to-face communication. But are you really communicating? Tim and Derek are here to remind us there’s no substitute for the power of the human voice. They discuss the importance of effective communication and the value of verbal communication over text and email.

In this episode, they discuss:

• The challenges of relying solely on text/email communication
• The role of tone and body language in communication and how they can be lost in written messages
• Preferring phone calls to have meaningful conversations and make people feel heard
• 70:30 rule in communication — let the other person talk 70% of the time, and you only speak 30%
• The importance of addressing issues directly and not hiding behind technology
