40. We Were Never Taught How to Communicate - And It Shows!

Episode Summary: Communication is something we do every single day, yet most of us were never actually taught how to do it well. In this episode, I explore how our communication habits are often shaped by what we observed growing up, rather than what truly creates understanding and connection and how the gap between good communication expectations and reality is bigger than we think. The gap often results in misunderstandings, frustration, emotional overload, and conversations that don’t quite land the way we intended, both at home and at work. This is a reflective and practical episode, offering a different way of thinking about communication – that better communication isn’t about saying more. It’s about understanding more. Host: Maria Rush, Leadership Mentor & Speaker, helps caring and capable people navigate the human side of leadership to experience more calm, joy and fulfilment.  Through a proven awareness and communication framework, Maria supports you as a parent, partner and professional to become the leader people are truly looking for - someone who can communicate with authenticity, compassion and adaptability.
