Getting Directions in Ireland
Connected Communication
04/08/24 • 43 min
The conversation begins with a humorous dialogue about the culture of giving directions in Ireland. Christine then reflects on recent conversations she’s had about feeling lost and the art of finding oneself, sharing insights she’s had from Blindboy, Anthony De Mello and Jim Fortin. She explores language, the etymology of "lost," the Dutch concept of "Niksen," and how the pandemic challenged people’s sense of direction, encouraging a re-evaluation of the meanings we assign to words and concepts. Advocating for enjoying “days of no direction,” Christine teaches us how to get comfortable with being lost in new cities, whilst celebrating the unexpected joys of spontaneity and intuition.

She traces the history of childlessness across centuries, unpacking the complex reasons behind fluctuations in birth rates over time. From economics to women's rights and the evolution of marriage, Christine insightfully analyses the many factors at play and urges everyone to tune into their inner wisdom when making this profound life decision, rather than bowing to external pressures.

Introversion and Identity with Mark Sciberras
Connected Communication
08/21/23 • 88 min
What is the real meaning and explanation of introversion and what unique power can it hold? Do many of us focus so much on the destination that we don’t give credit and time to the journey that got us there? How can we learn to choose the right inner voice to listen to when communicating? Mark Sciberras, a martial arts champion and teacher, joins Christine to discuss these questions and how his unique life experiences, including the cancer diagnosis he received at age 12, influence his thoughts, ideas and values. He shares his views on being an introvert and the many lessons he has learnt about communication in teaching. Mark and Christine also explore identity, the self-fulfilling prophecy and curse that can come with being labelled and why it’s ok to be selfish.
ABOUT THE GUEST
Mark Sciberras
Mark has spent the last 22 years teaching martial arts to students of all ages, from 4 to 70. An introvert who needs time to recharge, he has a keen awareness of the power of communication. Wise beyond his years, Mark takes a logical and practical approach to life. His mindset, even at the tender age of 12 when being treated for leukaemia, is very much growth-focused and adaptable. This extends to his teaching, allowing him to adjust his approach to meet the unique learning requirements of his students. He drops a few knowledge bombs in this episode, particularly for the parents of young children.

E17: Granny (86) on Communication
Connected Communication
06/05/23 • 34 min
Christine speaks to her mentor, educator, advisor and teacher, her Granny. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to benefit from some of the character-shaping wisdom that Christine has had access to over her lifetime. Cosy up, settle in, open your ears and take the third chair for this fascinating chat about communication over the years.
CHRISTINE’S GRANNY REVEALS:
- How a walk is best undertaken at night for the adventure.
- How to overcome youthful shyness.
- How to encourage self-reflection and awareness in others to help them solve problems.
- The essential magic ingredient to a successful happy marriage.
- The troublesome ‘top dog’ that needs to be tamed to have good communication.
- How you don’t have to argue about smelly breath.
- A golden rule that all should live by when communicating.
BEST MOMENTS
“If you think about communication throughout your life. If you think about when you were younger, how would you say...”-Christine. “Shy.”-Granny. “You were shy?”-Christine.
“What would you say were the key skills that you needed to have to be able to do that work?" -Christine. “I suppose just to be a good listener really, first of all. Then to be practical and say, ok, I think this is what we should do.” -Granny
“When people are drunk they don’t actually mean it because they’re just not in the same space you’re in. The wives would come in and they’d blow their top and they’re raging and they want to leave them; ‘Where can I get a good solicitor’ and what should they do? And I’d say ‘Stop. Stop. We’ll go back to the beginning now and think about this.’”-Granny
“Everything you’re saying, it proves to me the reality that we don’t need science, though I enjoy having the backing of scientific evidence to prove all of this stuff.”-Christine
“There’s always one little brat that will have a destructive idea and niggle and niggle at the group. You just have to say to them ‘I know. If you want I’ll talk to you separately after that’s fine but in this group you have to be mindful of other people’s ideas and their feelings.”-Granny
“What?! You’ll put that on a pod? Oh my God!! Christine!”-Granny

E16: Lessons From My Grandfather: Celebrating Life, Love and Wisdom
Connected Communication
05/29/23 • 27 min
This episode celebrates the life of Christine’s Grandfather, one of her greatest influences and teachers, who died the week of this recording. She shares some of the lessons he passed on about not only business and communication but life and love in general.
CHRISTINE SHARES:
- Her memories of her Grandfather.
- Lifetime lessons learned from experiences from childhood.
- The secret behind Santa *spoiler alert*.
- How her Grandfather’s wisdom is one of the reasons why she does the work she does now, bringing different people together.
- That care, attention and effort will always be noticed and appreciated.
BEST MOMENTS
“The lesson that I learned from this horse and from having the opportunity to be with this horse was patience.”
“Music and laughter were the key essence of Grandad. Well, one of the key essences, I should say. He loved a bit of swing. He and Granny, I believe, were swing champions when they were younger.”
“Grandad taught us how to plant, how to prune, how to grow and how to nurture, with love, that which came from the earth.”
“In 1949 he was the featherweight boxing champion of Ireland. Later he went on to play tennis, becoming a champion in the south of the country.”
“What I learned from Granddad and his work in Cadbury’s were merchandising skills. I knew how to set up displays of Christmas hampers when I worked at delis in my late teens in a way that nobody else was able to do.”

E15: How to Clarify Confidently
Connected Communication
05/22/23 • 41 min
How do you ask confidently for a point to be repeated if you have not understood it the first time around? Christine explains how to request clarification in a presentation, meeting or workplace setting without worrying about appearing stupid or incompetent, irritating your speaker or unnecessary procrastination.
CHRISTINE REVEALS:
- The reasons why clarification is so important in the workplace.
- The unseen advantages gained from confident clarification.
- Why so many people, possibly even you, are afraid to ask for clarification.
- Some priceless tips for clarifying with confidence.
- Some secret methods to ask for clarification while simultaneously building your relationship and avoiding irritation or embarrassment.
BEST MOMENTS
“Clarifying confidently is an essential skill. It can help you effectively communicate and avoid misunderstandings.”
“It can create psychological safety for newer or less experienced employees in the organisation.”
“The brain’s fear response can result in individuals fearing judgement or criticism when seeking clarification.”
“Use clear, concise and specific language. When you need clarification, the more precise and concise you can be, the easier it is for a person to understand what you need from them.”
“The key thing to remember is that clarifying is not a sign of weakness or incompetence; it’s a sign of commitment to clear communication, to shared understanding, to not wasting time, and to being effective in your work.”
