Words That Win: How Supercommunicators Unlock the Secrets to Connection with Charles Duhigg
Unlocking the Secrets of Super Communication: Words That Win!
What if I told you that the way you communicate could be the key to your success in relationships, business, and life? In this episode, I’m sitting down with the brilliant Charles Duhigg, author of Words That Win, along with insights from legendary communicators like John Maxwell, Chuck Wisner, Les Brown, and others, to uncover how super communicators connect deeply, influence others, and make their words truly impactful.
We explore the three types of conversations that shape every interaction—practical, emotional, and social—and why mismatching them can cause disconnection. Charles and I discuss the art of active listening, including his game-changing concept of “looping for understanding,” which transforms not just what you hear but how others feel heard. Plus, we dive into how asking meaningful, deep questions can unlock hidden stories and values in others, forging connections that last a lifetime.
You’ll hear Charles’s incredible story of a CIA recruiter whose career pivoted when he learned how to match emotions and communicate vulnerably. We also discuss how communication isn’t just verbal—your tone, gestures, and even laughter can build trust or erode it. Non-verbal cues and emotional intelligence play pivotal roles, as Bedros Keuilian and Les Brown share how they use these tools to inspire and lead.
Key Takeaways:
- The three conversation types and how to identify and match them for stronger connections.
- Why active listening is more about what you do after someone speaks than during.
- How vulnerability and storytelling break down barriers and build trust.
- The role of non-verbal communication and emotional reciprocity in creating lasting bonds.
- Practical strategies for handling tough conversations and reducing judgment in disagreements.
This episode is packed with actionable techniques to elevate your communication skills and become a master of connection. By the end, you’ll have the tools to strengthen your relationships, lead with influence, and truly be heard.
Start applying these skills today because your ability to communicate could be the key to unlocking the life you’ve always dreamed of.

How to Break Free from the Prison of Self-Doubt
How’s that self-criticism working out for you?
If being hard on yourself was the key to success, wouldn’t it have worked by now? The truth is, many of us are our own worst enemies, holding ourselves to impossible standards and punishing ourselves when we fall short. This week, I’m breaking down the critical shift you need to make: separating who you are from your mistakes and learning to treat yourself with the grace and belief you truly deserve.
We often think self-love means settling, but it’s the opposite. Real self-love comes from expecting better because you believe deeply in your potential. If you constantly criticize yourself, you reinforce the wrong narrative about who you are. Thoughts are powerful—like magnets, they draw experiences that match your self-beliefs. Change the story you tell yourself, and you’ll change what you attract in life.
I’ll share why you must become your own biggest fan. It’s not just about positivity; it’s about raising your vibrational frequency to align with truth, not lies. The world’s most successful people don’t define themselves by their failures; they see setbacks as moments, not reflections of their worth. You can’t show up fully for your dreams or others if you’re tearing yourself down internally.
So here’s my challenge to you: Stop letting your inner critic run the show. Separate your behavior from your identity. Start rooting for yourself as fiercely as you would for your closest friend or your child. You deserve a life built on belief, not self-doubt.
Key Takeaways:
Self-love isn’t settling—it’s expecting better because you believe in your potential.
Thoughts are magnets; the story you tell yourself shapes your reality.
Separate who you are from your mistakes; you are greater than any failure.
Start speaking to yourself with the same grace you’d give someone you love.
Your best life starts with the way you see yourself. Demand better because you know you’re worth it. Max out today, and let’s make your future something to be proud of. God bless.
