Making the move from simple verbal communication to productive and purposeful conversations
There is a common aphorism, ‘Let’s have a bit less talk and a bit more action’. This makes sense when physical actions are needed such as baking a cake or building a warehouse, although strictly speaking none of these tasks can get done without talk at some point.
Talk is not something we do ‘on the side’ or in addition to our behaviour, it is integral to it. In the modern economy in particular, the actions and the successes of so much of what we do are in the talking.

SoundWave research tells us that it’s time to reframe; people in fact listen better than they think they do.
Outside of traditional power relationships, talk is more free-flowing. What should organisations do about this?
