In this episode, Christine encourages you, on International Women's Day, to "Dare to Be Difficult." Emphasising the importance of self-awareness in effective communication, she explores the active nature of listening, the impact of emotional repression, and the influence of language and culture on understanding. Christine also discusses neurodivergence and societal systems, sharing personal stories and advocating for acceptance of individual differences. Using the example of Ireland's pirate Queen, Grainne Mhaol, Christine highlights the role of cultural intelligence in overcoming communication barriers and challenges gender norms, promoting the redefinition of "difficult" women. The episode concludes with advice for leaders on fostering open communication and an invitation for listeners to engage in meaningful dialogue.
