Leadership Communications With Rob Cottingham

Most of us like to think of ourselves as basically honest people. But as speakers and speechwriters, it's surprisingly easy to find ourselves misleading our audiences: accidentally or (gulp) deliberately. Find out how — even with the best intentions — you may be leading your audience astray... and how to get back onto the path of truth. Warning: Contains traces of scolding and a glancing reference to the current American president. Links: More about Albert Mehrabian and his work on non-verbal communication. And about the aerodynamics of bumblebees. One way that bumblebees definitely can't fly. My favourite resource for checking quotations and their origins: Quote Investigator. How graphs can mislead. Music: Theme: "Good Times" by Podington Bear (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Podington_Bear/). Incidental music by Lee Rosevere (https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com/) including "Night Caves," "Everywhere," "Systematic," "We Don’t Know How It Ends," and "Saturn V."
