- Great communicators aren’t born that way. They’re self-made.
Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist whose new book, Supercommunicators, explores how some people have unlocked the secret language of connection.
Charles and I discuss what makes these “supercommunicators” unique, why we need stories to convey ideas, and how being honest once saved a CIA recruiter his job.
This…is A Bit of Optimism.

Communicating is an art, it requires a lot of empathy and thinking about how can I give the best of myself through my words.
Brilliant comment
When two writers meet. Simon hits the targets to make his companion’s face to light up. Reactions are priceless. Thumbs up 👍
Good insight: We are having one of three conversations (practical, emotional, social). "She was having a practical conversation, I was having an emotional conversation and we couldn't connect..." Now all my missed conversations make sense!
That is exactly what I have been teaching professionals for years.

How you two talk about... well... talking is amazing. “I don’t want to be see as the expert. I want to be seen as the guide.” in terms of education, there’s always a bit of storytelling for relatability. It inspires our curiosity and drives a craving to learn more. It's great having you both to grant us a bit of insight into healthy communication skills.
I appreciate you. Thanks for this share!
Thank you for this beautiful conversation. I keep in mind authenticity, instincts and labelling conversations, so simple and perfectly said. The world is now dying of this lack of connection.... Your work is perfect, thanks to be this guide, the world needs people like you 🤗🧡
Amazing conversation.
Loved this conversation, the sincerity of it.
This is a great topic and so very needed. People turtle when the discussion gets challenging.
I am a fixer so this was a great lesson for me. Touche guys!!
Thank you.
These podcasts are amazing. Thanks, Simon!
These clips help me actually watch the full podcast.
Such a great message on communicating.
Form the beggining to the end it is "oro molido" as we say in Mexico! Both of you always make me think about hard questions and find the enthusiasm on their answers. What a great moment with you both.
Yes! So very good. Love this one
What an amazing conversation! I so much relate to being in situations where I am in practical conversations where as my listener is emoting. Now, all of it makes so much sense!
I've stumbled across some of these techniques accidentally in my work. We are expected to deal with highly emotional situations (bereavements) with a script, but that simply doesn't work. It's possible to instantly connect with our callers by simply going off-script and asking "What happened?"
Thank you for sharing this story of your experience taking calls. It surprises me that, with a technique so effective, it's not part of the script.
I can imagine that if one of your colleagues asked 'What happened?' without showing genuine interest, and didn't listen to the answer, it might do more harm than good. But it sounds like the question arose out of your experience of showing real care to the bereaved
This was great. I'm Looking forward to reading the book. The Power of Habit was helpful to me several years ago.
Great talk. And the moment Simon bites his nail...so volnurable😂
Loved this conversation.
Great questions Simon. Love your work
This was so much fun to watch ❤
I think we remember things that have the biggest emotional impact on our lives - good or bad
I love both of you . ❤❤❤

So good!
I loved this
That was great.
love this
The questions Simon asks, wow. You got to be prepared with your life story before coming here😂😂
I love you both so much
what are the best books you know guys on this?
How do politicians become super communicators, even most of them are empty promises? What goes on here, i wonder.
Sales skills. Without knowing too much about politics, winning an audience is as much about influence as it is about policy. A lot of sales is knowing to right thing to say/show at the right time to capture someone’s attention and draw them closer to your message. Politicians know this and know what hot buttons/problems an audience cares about, so they cater their messages based on how their solution is worth their vote. Unfortunately empty promises happen, but that’s where its up to voters to determine whether someone is worth re-electing based on whether or not they lived up to their expectations. I’ve personally watched my communication ability grow tremendously just from taking on a sales job so politicians definitely understand the value of learning it.
i have all the connections
Great video. I do not think Trump is a good communicator, however 😅
