Ever wondered how some people seem to have a knack for communicating effortlessly in any situation? This episode of 'All In The Mind' dives into the art of becoming a 'supercommunicator'. Host Sana Khadar chats with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charles Duhigg, who shares his journey from struggling manager to communication expert.

These methods can transform everyday conversations, whether you're talking to teenagers, handling workplace dynamics, or navigating heated debates. Duhigg's insights are drawn from interviews with CIA recruiters, NASA psychologists, and other communication experts. If you've ever felt like your conversations are hit or miss, this episode offers valuable tips to improve your connection with others.
