Guest: Daniel Nordström — Keynote Speaker at Gapminder & Founder of Talking Bridge
In this episode of Speaking of Meaning, I’m joined by Daniel Nordström, a keynote speaker at Gapminder and the founder of Talking Bridge, to explore what communication really means — beyond words, techniques, and presentations.
We talk about how communication shapes human connection, leadership, and understanding in both personal and professional life. Daniel shares insights from his work in global education and communication, and why patience, self-awareness, and presence matter more than most people realize.
This conversation is about slowing down, listening deeper, and realizing that everything we do communicates something.
In this episode, we explore:
-Why communication is more than just talking
-How misunderstanding often comes from lack of presence
-The role of self-awareness in becoming a better communicator
-Why patience is a leadership skill
-How empathy builds stronger connections
-The three types of conversations: Helping, Hearing, and Hugging
-What it really means to become a “super communicator”
If you’re interested in leadership, communication, human connection, or personal growth, this episode offers reflections that will stay with you long after listening.
