How to Connect With Anyone | Charles Duhigg

Being a super-communicator isn’t a gift, it’s a skill anyone can learn.

Ever wish you were the person who could talk to anyone with ease? Like anyone you came in contact with became instant friends, confidantes, or trusted allies and collaborators. Turns out, this superpower is not something you’re born with, it's something you can learn.

This episode shows you how. Our guest is Charles Duhigg, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for The New York Times and the best-selling author of The Power of Habit and his book, Supercommunicators.

The "Heard, Hugged, or Helped" framework for navigating emotional conflict with ease
A secret CIA recruitment strategy for building instant trust with complete strangers
The power of "deep questions" to bypass small talk and reach the heart of any matter

If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling disconnected, it's time to learn the rules of the game. Listen to this episode to transform your relationships and become a supercommunicator today.
