This episode came about because both Mush and I listened to the interview between Steven Bartlett and Julian Treasure on The Diary of a CEO Podcast.  The title of that episode was: How to Speak so Everyone Hears You.  

In fact, unlike the title, a lot of the episode talks about the need for us all to be better listeners. Both Mush and I agree with Julian Treasure that in formal education there seems to be a neglect in developing these fundamental communication skills of speaking and listening. 

Our conversation focuses on these 3 key questions:

1. What in your view is the communication gap in the workplace now?
 

2. How can we bridge this gap?

3. What practical tips can you share on how we can be better communicators? 

Mush describes himself as extremely busy, always-on-the-go, with a strong extrovert and task-oriented preference. He openly shares how he manages to resist the temptation to jump in and share his ideas when trying to better communicate with his team. This episode is jam-packed with anecdotes, self-reflection and tools that have helped Mush in his workplace and the reasons why he started the Workabuddy Community to help those transitioning from education to the workplace and those already working but feeling a little lost.

What gaps in communication have you noticed in your workplace?
