we think about how we communicate and connect with each other in our daily lives.
But what can it teach us about communicating effectively in a digital world that is frequently more about emojis than face-to-face interactions?
Psychologist and performance coach Helen Morris-Brown explores this subject in a fascinating talk, and bamboozles the audience with a beguiling Rubik’s Cube trick as a bonus.

What a great video! Not going to lie, I had to watch this for my studies and I was dreading the fact that it was a 16 minute video, but you held my rapt attention for the whole time! Very well done, and very insightful. Thankyou!

I think you are just great. People put a "thumb down". They know that they can't be honest, truthful and sincere to themselves nor to any people face to face or on any media side. You have emphasized over and over again with the word "sincerity". Majority just can't face up with the truth. I am sorry, this is how it is. Sad world. I try to make myself happy thinking that they can't make me happy at all. I have to do that for myself. A BIG THANK YOU!

This video was apart of my studies for family communications and all I have to say is WOW! This was not only informative but fascinating! The way our brain works and responds to different situations is very interesting. I loved watching her. She pre-determined how she was going to grab our attention with the intention to give us a real in person experience of what she was teaching us. Right on! Her "performance" was sincerely incredible and a testament to was she was speaking on.

Watched this for a class im taking “Family communications” i really enjoyed this because allot of this i wouldn’t even consider while having conversations. you think it would be a simple thing to just talk, but effectively for all parties isn’t as easy. im a poor communicator and watching this gave me insight on new ways of thinking. thank you

This is sublime material. A book on this subject I read was equally transcendent. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

What a wonderful and informative video. We think we may match expectations of ourselves and others every day, but is doubtful we match them with every form of communication. I love the fact that Helen explains not to rush your response and to think it out before you reply. She is 100% spot on. I have replied and have had responses that were not genuine and created friction in relationships, which is very hard to repair. But, by thinking it out, you will be more successful. Bravo to Helen!! Well Done!!

Matching expectations is good. Many compliments are good but make sure they are genuine. Reply to people even if it’s just to say that you saw their message.
