In this episode of Mind the Gap, Michael explores the hidden layers of communication that sit beneath the words we speak. Tone, timing, silence and posture often tell the true story long before language ever arrives. Drawing inspiration from the first chapter of his upcoming book Between the Lines, Michael invites us to notice the subtle signals that shape our conversations and influence our relationships. This episode asks an important question. Are we responding to the words someone uses or to the meaning they are trying to express underneath? When we slow down and listen with curiosity, we become better leaders, better colleagues and better companions. The episode is part of the journey toward Michael’s full trilogy of books. • Mind the Gap and The Next Station Is are available on Amazon • Mind the Gap is also on Audible • Between the Lines arrives this December If the podcast resonates with you, follow the series and share it with someone who might enjoy the reflection.
