In this episode, Pete speaks to Andy Bounds. Andy helps his customers to sell more and communicate better, he has won awards and written books too! Andy’s mother is blind and it meant that he got very good at explaining things to others that didn’t see the world in the same way he did.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
 Andy has felt fire in his belly throughout all of lockdown because of the importance of communication and being unable to do it in the same way. Some of our senses are diminished so we are having to heighten others. Those who may have winged it in a work setting is unable to do so now. You can ‘get away’ with less, you need to be extra prepared for meetings.
When you’re going into a virtual meeting, don’t just prepare what you are talking about but think of good questions too so you can ensure the other people contribute.
You can judge how communication has worked by looking at what happens after it. For example, if you think you have done an excellent, thorough email but the person who sees it thinks it’s too long so doesn’t read it, it means you may have thought you have done something fantastic but what happened after isn’t what you wanted.
The first thing you need to do before initiating communication (e.g. sending an email or making a phone call) is figure out what ‘working communication’ would be in each scenario.
Think about how to make both parties happy with communication, be empathetic, be kind and use a channel you are both happy with.
Fire in the belly to Andy is making sure communication works for everyone.
So many people don’t know how to be interesting, it’s not difficult they just need to know how to communicate effectively with different types of people.
Other people love it when you can remember what is important to them. Do whatever you need to facilitate this.
Andy is passionately ‘nerdily’, ‘geekily’ interested in other people’s views from things which he gets from his mum and dad.

“The other person is often blind to your world view”

“I hate selfish communication”

“If it doesn’t sound like you then it won’t sound like you when you say it”

 “There is no universal truth only perspective”
