Technology has reshaped the way we communicate, sometimes helping us connect, sometimes getting in the way, and often changing the psychology of trust without us realizing it. Understanding what happens when a screen sits between you and your audience has become a new essential skill for every presenter and leader. Author Peggy Kendall sits down with Rob to explore how digital communication affects trust, attention, engagement, and the way audiences receive messages. Drawing from her 25 years as a communication and leadership professor, Peggy breaks down the shifts she’s seen in both presenters and audiences, and the practical adjustments speakers must make to connect in a tech-driven world.
