Why Awareness Beats Confidence in Conversations (Ep. 56)
Confidence alone won’t make you a better communicator. What if the key to connecting with others lies in understanding them first?
How do you shift from speaking at people to truly engaging with them? What role does listening play in building trust and deepening relationships?
In this episode, Rebecca Hourihan interviews Matt Mosich, a communications expert who has helped hundreds of professionals speak with enhanced clarity and confidence. He shares why the best communicators prioritize awareness over confidence, how to become a better listener, and the framework for asking questions that reveal what kind of communicator someone is.
Matt also explores how communication shapes company culture and offers practical strategies to stop losing your train of thought during important conversations.
Rebeca and Matt discuss:
- Why awareness matters more than confidence when it comes to effective communication and connection with others
- How listening serves as a form of love and why great communicators ask questions rooted in genuine curiosity
- The three Ps framework: prepare, prompt, and pivot to understand who you’re speaking to and adapt in real time
- How company culture is shaped by collective communication and why leaders must model vulnerability and accountability
- Building a personal FAQ to practice responses and never lose your train of thought, using the point-reason-point method
- And more!
