9: Three Steps to Communicate Clearly Even When You Feel Rushed
Learning how to communicate clearly when you’re rushed takes less time than you think. Most miscommunication doesn’t come from bad intentions. It comes from shorthand that only makes sense inside your own head, like “can you grab that thing” or “follow up on that before end of day.”
In this episode, I walk you through the Confusion Preventer, a quick three-step framework for clear communication you can use in about thirty seconds, at home, at work, or on your team. You’ll hear real-life scenes with a teenager, a coworker, and a boss who says “take care of that,” plus word-for-word examples of what to say instead.
