How to Talk to Your Team!

Improving team communication. Communication lies at the heart of leadership. And neuroscience actually shows that when we engage in meaningful conversation, our brains enter a state of synchrony. This means our brainwaves are actually syncing up with the person we're speaking to. So this whole phenomenon makes communication clearer, more impactful, and easier to understand. There's a whole bunch of ways of doing it. It could be done through mirroring and active listening. Mirroring basically involves subtly mimicking the other person's tone and body language. Okay? So if they're leaning towards you, just lean, lean towards them. If they raise their voice because they're excited, well, be excited. It creates this kind of unspoken sense of communication, sense of connection. And when people feel heard and mirrored, they're more likely to open up, which leads to more productive communication.
