Episode notes

Following the programme with Julian Treasure, about listening (which he calls ‘the gateway to understanding’), this episode is about breaking down one kind of barrier that can block the gate. Guests include:

· American businesswoman, Colleen Jolly, who shares her first experience of a trans-Atlantic misunderstanding,

· Solicitor, Chris Arnheim (now retired), who talks about jargon – in plain English!; and

· US President, Donald Trump, who kicks it all off (in more ways than one!)

No, ok, he isn’t actually on the show – he was a bit busy!; but I’ll talk about his ‘Liberation Day’ speech anyway.

There’s also:

· A chance to tell me where you stand on the new tariffs,

· A tip for a conversational investment opportunity and

· Some earlier ‘weird words’ from Washington.

If you have any questions, comments or contributions relating to the show – or if you need help with any aspect of conflict management at work – drop me an email.
