The Goal of Communication with Colin Stevens

Communication isn’t about getting your point across—it’s about being understood. Colin Stevens breaks down how tone, ego, context, and listening determine whether leaders build trust… or silently divide their teams.

Show Notes

In this Your Health University episode, Jamie sits down with Colin Stevens, Director of Engagement at Your Health, for a practical and honest conversation about communication—what it is, why it breaks down, and how leaders can immediately improve it. Colin reframes communication as understanding, not just delivery, explains why tone is the packaging that determines whether a message gets opened, and explores how ego blocks empathy in moments of conflict. The episode ends with a simple, powerful challenge: if you want to elevate your career and relationships, start by becoming a better listener.
