Welcome to the Real-Resilience Podcast with your host, Matthew Lostaglia, where we explore the depths of building robust and resilient workplace cultures. In this episode, we dive into a topic that affects us all: Barriers to Communication.

Matthew, drawing from his studies of organizational psychology, 12 years of service in the US Army, and his role as a parent, has developed a new approach to leadership called "Connected Leadership." Today, he uncovers the obstacles that hinder effective communication and provides insights on how to overcome them.

We start by examining "Noise Barriers," including external noise, internal distractions like sleep or hunger, and semantic noise that arises from misinterpretation. Then, we delve into cultural barriers, such as communication styles, hierarchy, respect, and decision-making processes that differ across cultures.

Matthew also explores gender barriers, shedding light on communication differences between men and women, highlighting the importance of understanding individual differences beyond stereotypes. Additionally, he uncovers the ethical barriers that arise when organizational values clash with personal values, leading to conflicts in decision-making and work-life balance.

But that's not all! Matthew teases a special surprise addition to the series. A guest will join him to thoroughly examine communication in the workplace, ensuring no stone is left unturned.

So, if you're ready to break down the barriers and take your communication skills to new heights, join us on the Real-Resilience Podcast. Plus, stay tuned for our upcoming episode featuring an exciting guest. Don't miss out!

In a world that encourages multitasking, we've been led to believe that we can efficiently handle multiple tasks simultaneously. But is that really the case? In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of effective listening and challenge the notion of multitasking. Prepare to have your beliefs shattered as we uncover the science behind our brain's limited processing capacity and the inefficiency of task-switching.

Imagine trying to download a new game while streaming your favorite song, video calling a loved one, and keeping multiple browser tabs open on your computer.

Through captivating real-life examples, we demonstrate how attempting to divide our attention affects our overall performance. Discover the shocking truth as we share our own personal experiences, including the consequences of not fully focusing on a podcast while attempting to work on something else.

Is your life predetermined with your fate written in the stars? Or was William Henley correct when he ended Invictus, one of the most famous poems in modern history with “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul?”

Today we find the answer to this very question by gazing through the lens of personality psychology with an expert in this very field as well as a dear friend to the show and to me personally Dr. Daniel Franz

My name is Matthew Lostaglia and I am the host of the Real-Resilience Podcast. This show is my journey to understand the link between individual resilience our need for connection, and improving culture in the workplace.

Dr. Franz may be the most prolific expert & clinician in logotherapy as one of less than 1,700 people WORLDWIDE (as my very scientific LinkedIn Search told me) hence why I am Matt, and he is Dr. Franz, or as we have come to cheerfully refer to him “Dr. Dan”, he is also an MBTI certified practitioner which is quite helpful for this conversation! Dr. Dan is also a mental health and clinical addictions counselor.

Dr. Dan and I talk about what your personality looks like and why it may seem to change when your really happy or very stressed out. Dan also reveals secrets I never knew about personality and how it impacts our ability to communicate with each other. Specifically we dive into how introverts and extroverts communicate, why it typically ends in complete and utter disaster and most importantly what you can do about it even if you’re not in a position of authority.

Another really fun and exciting element I have added into the Real-Resilience Podcast is audience questions. I put out a series of posts asking my LinkedIn people what they wanted to know about personality if they could ask questions to an expert free of cost! I’ll tell you what, we have had some amazing questions come in and we got to as many as we could which really brought this conversation to a new level.
