Empathetic communication: why vulnerability is the key to collaboration
summary
A personal history of stuttering frames a claim that stuttered since age three leads to learning to stop avoiding people by pursuing public speaking, and that empathetic communication actually requires fear of being wrong or misunderstood to be acknowledged. Technology and screens reduce empathy, so concrete practices matter: encourage people to speak up, listen patiently, keep talking through awkwardness, and make space for messy, vulnerable exchanges that reliably increase collaboration and produce better ideas.
