Most of our communication is unconscious. What you are actively aware of is only a tiny part of the visual and other input your brain receives. Further, studies show that we make most of our decisions unconsciously, based on these constant inputs. We only become consciously aware of these decisions afterward, once we already start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound.

Leadership speaking coach and communication consultant Nick Morgan brings to bear new brain and other behavioural science research on how humans communicate, toward creating a new, more scientific method that will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to communicate more effectively.
