Cracking the Code: Understanding and Refining Communication Habits

I recently got to chat with my amazing new friend and ally, Russel Lolacher with Relationships At Work.

We had a grand ol' time on his podcast, talking about our collective favorite topics - how communication habits are formed, the role self-awareness plays, how to understand our audiences, and what bad habits look like (yeah, you'll want to hear that part.)⁠ Listen anywhere you get your podcasts (Apple, Spotify, etc.).

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How communication habits are formed.

  • What bad communication habits can look like.

  • How self awareness can help in understanding and redefining our habits.

  • The importance of knowing who you’re communicating to in any situation.

  • Where nonverbal communication skills fit into our habits.

  • The challenge of remote work in creating better communication habits.

“Some of the habits that we pick up are ones that are not great communication skills, that are not transactional, that are not empathetic, but they’ve worked.”
