[audio mp3=“https://iraseverythingbagel.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/04/Rebecca_Steve_041422.mp3"][/audio] This week, Ira spoke with Rebecca Weintraub and Steven Lewis, authors of Incredible Communication: Uncover the Invaluable Art of Selling Yourself (published by Bloomsbury Business). In this communicative episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Rebecca and Steven talk about their successful remote partnership (with only one in-person meeting at USC; why they wanted to make the book approachable, yet filled with data; what the research tells us about communication; why perception is reality (“their perception is your reality”): why your credibility doesn’t live within you; the art of active listening; why the best communication is when you understand the motivation of the listener; how, in the realm of employment interviews, Zoom is a great eliminator but not a great hirer; the demise of the water cooler factor in virtual work; and the importance of “connective tissue” within an organization.
