Today we will be discussing with Professor Sheryl Brahnam, from Missouri State University. Sheryl has focussed her research on the role of embodied conversational agents, computer abuse, critical theory, and virtual reality psychotherapy. In 2010 she became interested in how technology is changing the way we listen to each other which is why when the New York Times wrote an article called “why Zoom is terrible” they reached out to Sheryl for her decades long expertise in the role of technology and listening. 

This discussion is full of practical tips in getting the most from video conferences in the workplace especially how to use your face relative to your webcam to help reduce unintended interruption  

Sheryl explains that how video conferences can be the equivalent of junk food in the communications before most people aren’t aware of the ingredients for a video conference and how they are re-constituted.

Today’s masterclass is all about learning to listen to someone’s voice.

If you have taken the listening quiz and you are either the interrupting or lost listener – today’s discussion is all about how to listen to the range in the speakers voice.

It will help you understand when you feel the urge to interrupt – take a moment longer to listen to where the speakers voice is coming from in their body.

Perhaps you’ve read about him in The Washington Post, or heard him speak on Radio. If not there, then you’ve likely seen Eric Arceneaux on YouTube, where his viral singing technique videos have generated over 30million views. A world-renowned vocal coach, breathwork specialist, and recording artist, Eric Arceneaux has developed a reputation for transforming and saving voices.

Whether you need to prepare for a musical or the FIFA Football world cup – professionals call Eric to help them reach their vocal potential

What I love about this interview is the range and nuance Eric has for explaining how voice and song are created by humans.

Michael Grinder has over 40 years of experience training thousands of groups. Known as the pioneer of nonverbal communication, Michael helps executives and educators assess people more accurately and connect with others more deeply.

Two well-known experts personally trained Michael in the field of communication: Carl Rogers, the father of humanistic psychology, and Michael’s brother, Dr. John Grinder, co-founder of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Over his career, Michael has written 14 books, which have been translated into 7 languages.

The book that caught my attention is The Elusive Obvious the science of non-verbal communication.

It outlines Four distinct patterns – visual, auditory, kinaesthetic and breathing.

Together with explore these patterns of expression in and storing information.

We cover the role of subjects and objects in discussions through the lens of points of focus.

Michael and I start off discussing the ways people process and store communications.
