Summary
Former FBI hostage negotiator and author Chris Voss joined us for E67 educating us on how to be a world class communicator.
One of the most profound pearls of wisdom of the enlightening chat was also the simplest: just listen.
We talk at around 150 words a minute yet are capable of listening to around 600 words in the same period. Our brains are often thinking ahead, planning our response. Slowing down our thinking and really engaging with the other person is saying is both a compliment and adds to our own competitive advantage.

| 0:03.6 | Now, one of the things that we are desperate to do here on the High Performance Podcast |
| 0:07.3 | is drive real change when it comes to people seeking therapy, looking for support. |
| 0:12.4 | Let me be totally clear at the start of this. |
| 0:14.4 | Okay, I have been in therapy, I've had help, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly. |
| 0:19.2 | Why do we spend hours in the gym working on our bodies, but no time in therapy working on our minds? |
| 0:24.6 | Why do we have to think that for some reason, a conversation about mental health |
| 0:29.1 | or mental struggles means that we're broken or that we're damaged or that in some way we're weak, |
| 0:34.4 | it's the total opposite. Like, human beings are complex creatures, the world is a complex |
| 0:38.7 | and challenging place to navigate. And I know that when it comes to mental health, |
| 0:43.0 | we can only do the work ourselves, right? But why should we do that on our own? |

| 0:53.1 | Danny Sipriani, Johnny Wilkinson, Owen O'Kane. They've all sat on this podcast and spoken |

| 1:15.2 | get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com slash performance. That's better help, |
| 1:21.8 | help.com slash performance. Can I just talk to you very quickly about Slack? They're partnering |
| 1:29.3 | with us on today's high performance podcast, but actually they partner with us at high performance |
| 1:34.6 | every single day of the week. So the way this podcast works is we've now got seven or eight people |
| 1:38.8 | in the team and we are based all over the UK. So how can we be based everywhere and still |
| 1:44.4 | collaborate in a way that we always used to? Well, the high performance team use Slack and we love |
