Charles Duhigg on the Power of “Supercommunicators” | Amanpour and Company

Throughout history and still today, communication has been a tool of the powerful for both good and bad. It's also crucial in all of our daily lives: in the workplace, in our personal relationships and, more than ever, online. How can we communicate better? And how can we make that a force for positive change? Author Charles Duhigg explores this question in his new book, "Supercommunicators,” and he discusses what he’s learned with Walter Isaacson.

What a delightful conversation. Charles’ thoughts on us learning to get better at understanding the rules of digital communication were truly heartening!

This also helped me understand why I love the feeling of a very well connected 1:1 conversation.

Outstanding, thank you so much Charles and Walter!

He's too good! Too good at communicating. And those strange red shifts disconcerted me to no end. I hope to read this.

…?…the glitch in the voice of Mr. Duhigg while responding „Thank you for having me.“ instantly made me feel uncomfortable. followed (unwillingly) by the thought:: … „Supercommunicator“ — another manual for digital resources’ diggers tofurthermore exploiting truth? - like „land developers buying burned Maui earth?
Amanpour& Company — Thank you Walter for your bravery ; your stance is the best role model „Supercommunicators“ might have (or at least should aim for achieving))✨🪷
