27. Interpretation of language colours our connections with Paulo Machado

We spend majority of our time communicating with others through the use of language - be it written or vocal. However, we don’t often stop to consider how others may interpret the words we use. Especially in the age of internet and online video meetings, where non-verbal cues are significantly reduced and all we have are the words - the tone of voice is the last aspect that remains, that has a chance to align two people in a conversation. Without it - two sides may not be even hearing each other for all the noise of their limiting beliefs, assumptions, confirmation bias, prejudice, fears and everything else that comes part of our human experience. 

Join me in this episode as I discuss this and many other topics with guest Paulo Machado, who describes himself as a “world citizen” and has lived a full and colourful life and discovered many things in the areas of career, parenting, entrepreneurship and personal development.
