Recipients of a 2-word email or text as basic as… “Nice job” or “Great work” are misinterpreting these messages a whopping 60% of the time! Really, no Really!

If we are misconstruing simple and clear communications this often and assuming that our intended messages have been easily understood…and they are not…we could be in the midst of a real miscommunication crisis!

With technological communication growing exponentially and younger people often shunning older more analogue forms of communication (like actual phone conversations) Jason and Peter hunted down a man who could explain why such rampant miscommunication is happening, how to prevent it, and what our collective future looks like. That man is Dr. Nick Morgan, a legend in public speaking, a leading expert in rhetoric and body language and a sought-after communications theorist and coach.

Nick has worked with both political and educational leaders and is frequently commissioned by Fortune 50 companies to coach their CEOs and presidents.
