Sue joins me again as we explore the modern difficulties of communicating through electronic media. What makes it so difficult and how does it create so many miscommunications?

We explore the science behind human communications and how electronic media exploits the worst of communication’s faults. However, we also try to identify means of dealing with electronic communication and overcoming its nuances to make both life and business better. 

Some of the issues we talk through in this episode:

• What is the purpose of Email? How can we use it more effectively?
• What expectations do you have of others, and are you setting for yourself?
• When is texting for work acceptable?
• Who can text you and why?

Of course, the conversation takes another level up as soon as we talk about the place of humor in electronic communication. In a word, no. 

Finally, we talk through practical steps to improve your communications in email, text, and social media. Hopefully, these steps can help you be more effective and aware of the inherent issues in electronic communication.
