#32 - Why does it bother us so much when we aren’t understood? In this episode, we explore the philosophy and science behind effective communication. Shane discusses how his background in philosophy informs CultureSmith’s work, why understanding communication is crucial for leaders, and how our Cognitive Colour informs how we encode and decode messages. We dive into the sources of miscommunication, why they make us feel so bad, and the importance of adapting communication styles to fit individual team members. Then, we explore the ways non-verbal communication impacts us both in person and digitally. Shane shares insights on using silence, storytelling, and radical candor as tools, and how leaders can navigate complex emotions at home. Finally, we touch on managing emotional states to ensure clear communication both at work and at home.
