01: Your Guide to Communication "Tells"

No matter your age or professional level, you need a guide to communication so you can be seen, heard and relevant. Today’s episode gives you the “tells.”

Do you know that you can tell how old someone is just by how they communicate? It’s true, and many marketers and other professionals are savvy at using this information to determine whether you’re a good fit for a product or even a job.

In this first episode of the podcast, I’m sharing my background in communication and how I used my status as a Gen-Xer and communications professional to understand both sides of the technology spectrum. And I’m also sharing my faux pas in my very first email address as a non-digital native. Here’s a hint: My maiden name is Baker. Molly Baker. (If this doesn’t resonate with you, I can tell you’re likely a Baby Boomer.)

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The 3 “tells” in your communication style

  • How you can tell the age of others simply by how they communicate

  • The one question I ask every audience, so I can adjust my messaging accordingly

  • What the fastest growing language of our time is

  • The magic number for social media platforms in your organization

And most importantly, you’ll learn why this all matters. Because it does matter if you want to be a good communicator and remain relevant online and offline.
