That's the idea at the heart of Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Charles Duhigg.\n\n\n\nYou're invited to SCWCC Read & Lead: Supercommunicators\, an interactive\, discussion-based evening exploring how stronger communication can improve our leadership\, workplaces and relationships.\n\n\n\nDuhigg explains that most conversations fall into one of three categories: practical conversations about what needs to happen\, emotional conversations about how we feel and social conversations about who we are. When we recognize what kind of conversation is taking place\, we can listen more effectively\, ask better questions and build stronger connections.\n\n\n\nThe evening will begin with 15 minutes of open networking before moving into a facilitated group discussion led by Dr. Charity Peak. Together\, we'll explore topics including:\n\n\n The Three Types of Conversations: How can we recognize what a conversation is really about?\n Listening to Connect: What helps people feel genuinely heard and understood?\n Asking Better Questions: How can thoughtful questions lead to more meaningful conversations?\n Communicating Through Differences: What can help us stay connected when perspectives\, emotions or priorities don't align?\n Putting It Into Practice: What is one communication habit you can begin using immediately?\n\n\nYou do not need to have finished the book to participate\, although it helps. Come ready to connect\, reflect and share. Attendees are responsible for obtaining and bringing their own copy of the book.
