Join applied language expert Charna Parkey, Ph.D. as she explores how the words we use often get in the way of good communication at work. We’ll be looking at the hard conversations: the ones that we avoid because we don’t have a shared language to even begin them. You’ll hear interviews with people like you, plus experts speaking to the nuance of approaching topics like racism, gender expression, mental health, and domestic violence. Along the way you’ll gain some shared language to start engaging in these conversations yourself, with linked resources available for every episode. We can change the way we communicate for the better—let’s find the signal in the noise.
