The Perception Podcast

Culture and Communication with Christine Mullaney


Listen Later

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me, your host Caroline Partridge. Today I talked to communication coach Christine Mullany about her unique training blending brain function, culture, and communication. We discuss the enormous effect of mindset on the way we express ourselves vocally, society's bias around regional accents, and the difference between mimicking and mirroring the voices we hear. Christine also talks vulnerably about her own journey through unprocessed trauma and the inevitable impact it had on her health.
Please join me as we look at life through a different lens.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Understand your brain, then the brains of others.
  • Linguistics plays a role in communication, so communicating in a 2nd language is difficult.
  • When you better understand yourself, what you have to offer, and learn to effectively communicate your mindset shifts.
  • Overriding the communication norms, you were raised with is hard. 
  • Accent bias is real. Sometimes you need to tweak your accent and adjust your diction.
  • Mirroring helps you connect but don´t mimic.
  • What you say to your boss and how you frame things will be different than how you speak to a colleague.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Every person we communicate with needs something different.’
‘Different countries have different conventions when it comes to communication. ´
‘Sometimes different diction is required.’

PODCAST DESCRIPTION
This is a podcast series about discovery, understanding, revelation, and stories.
How we perceive the world is rooted in everything that has influenced us throughout our lives, emotionally and psychologically. We become the sum of our parts and each of us has our own unique view of the world. 'Vision' truly is an act of interpretation.
In this podcast series through fascinating conversations, I set about trying to understand how we form our perceptions, view different perspectives, and examine how perception has influenced, inspired, or hindered the lives of each of my unique guests.
