  • Do Words Really Matter Only 7%? Leadership, Communication & a 60-Year-Old Myth

    Do Words Really Matter Only 7%? Leadership, Communication & a 60-Year-Old Myth
    Jun 8 2026

    You've heard it before:

    55% body language
    38% tone of voice
    7% words

    But what if one of the most quoted "facts" in communication is actually one of the most misunderstood?

    In this episode, I take a closer look at the famous 7-38-55 rule and explain why leaders, trainers, and organisations continue to get it wrong.

    Discover:

    - What Albert Mehrabian's research actually showed
    - Why words matter far more than most people think
    - What leaders can do to reduce unnecessary conflict and improve understanding

    A practical episode for leaders, managers, coaches, and anyone interested in conscious communication.

  • Still Rolling at 80+ What The Rolling Stones Can Teach Every Leader About Communication, Conflict & Longevity

    Still Rolling at 80+ What The Rolling Stones Can Teach Every Leader About Communication, Conflict & Longevity
    May 31 2026

    The Rolling Stones are still going strong after more than 60 years together.

    Coincidence?

    Or is there something leaders can learn from endurance, communication, conflict, and finding something bigger than the disagreement?


    As the old saying goes:

    Age is mind over matter, and if you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

  • The Life Expectancy Myth: Do We Really Live Longer Than Our Ancestors? — And What This Reveals About Leadership, Conflict & Communication?

    The Life Expectancy Myth: Do We Really Live Longer Than Our Ancestors? — And What This Reveals About Leadership, Conflict & Communication?
    May 25 2026

    Do We Really Live Longer Than Our Ancestors? — And What This Reveals About Leadership, Conflict & Communication?

    What if one of the biggest myths about human history is completely misunderstood?

    In this episode, I explore the truth behind life expectancy, why people in the past often lived much longer than we think, and what this reveals about leadership, communication, conflict, and modern life.

    A powerful reflection on numbers, context, human connection, and the danger of postponing living.

    Please forgive me for the sound of my voice; I was down with a bad cold/flu last week.
