EP004: Author & Communication Expert, Rob Kendall: The Art of Conversation
Hello…? Were you even listening?
How often do you find yourself drifting off during the middle of a conversation? For everyone, that’s pretty often. A Harvard study shows that 47% of the time our mind is somewhere else, other than what we’re doing. No more! It’s time to PAY ATTENTION and communication expert, Rob Kendall, is here to blow the whistle and bring you back to the present moment.
Over the last three decades, Kendall has become an accomplished artist, a co-founder of a tech company, a co-founder to organizational leaders on five continents, a non-executive director of a BAFTA and Emmy-winning visual effects company, as well as an award-winning author. His latest book, Workstorming: Why Conversations At Work Go Wrong And How To Fix Them draws on his collaboration with over 70 high-profile organizations, among them the 2012 Olympics.
Whatever your role is, Kendall argues that your success depends on your ability to communicate with others. As an internationally recognized authority on the dynamics and practices of effective conversation, you just might want to listen in.
