  • Welcome, Robert!
  • Today’s Topic: The Four Ingredients of Masterful Communication
  • [9:19 - 17:51] What is the key to effective communication?

    • Start with the audience’s motivations and (if present) the elephant in the room
    • The optimal time and place to have a meeting
    • Why you should over-communicate the context of a conversation
    • [17:52 - 25:59] How does expectation-setting set the framework for conversations?

      • How setting expectations can help you avoid bad reactions to good news
      • Have a plan for any conflict that might arise from the conversation
      • [26:00 - 32:04] How do you tell someone that they should improve their emotional communication skills?

        • Look at the existing challenges in your communication and assume it’s not a “them” problem
        • Be curious and non-judgmental
        • [32:05 - 33:09] Closing

          • Thanks for listening!


          Quotes:

          “One thing people tend to be bad at is setting painfully clear expectations.”

          “Look at the challenges you have in your communication . . . and always take responsibility that there’s something you can do to improve the situation.”
