Named by Thinkers50 as the “Oprah of Management Thinkers”, she is the author of two books Get Big Things Done: The Power of Connectional Intelligence and Digital Body Language. This week on Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People, Guy talks with Erica about how to be more thoughtful and communicate better in the digital age. You'll be communicating better in tone, message, and emojis after this podcast.
In today's episode of the As Told by Nomads Podcast, join Erica Dhawan and me to talk about what digital body language is, what it means to be inclusive, and the tips for connecting better – digitally. Now that more work-from-home settings are in place communicating may be an obstacle for some. Without the personal experience of body language, understanding how to connect is a challenge. But for Erica, body language didn't disappear—it just evolved. Tune in with us and learn about how Erica sees body language in the digital setting in this episode!The Digital Body Language You Already Have Unlike when communicating face-to-face, understanding how someone responds to you through a video call or through chat can be very challenging. Most of the time, you're only limited to judging texts and video calls. When work is concerned, this can be frustrating. But don't lose hope just yet! There are typical examples of digital body language that you're probably just overlooking. If you observe more, you can totally inform yourself on how to better your communication and connection with work and colleagues when work-from-home settings remain. For Erica, body language is not lost when working or communicating digitally. It's just in a different form. How someone structures their email, how fast or slow they answer calls, how they use punctuations, and the frequency of their emojis are all examples of how body language works in a digital situation. They all contribute to the experience and either add or deduct from how someone receives the delivery of the message. They may not be the same with talking face-to-face, but nevertheless, they tell you a thing or two about someone's manner of responding in a digital space.Outline of the episode:[02:26] What is body language in digital form?[06:46] Digital body language has different styles![08:57] We are all immigrants to the world of digital body language.[11:44] The practical tips to improve your digital body language.[17:03] Erica: On speaking about connection and collaboration in a law firm retreat – A memorable experience on pivoting.[21:02] Every part of communication is always under the spectrum.[24:06] Formality Confusion – A form of anxiety that provokes digital body language.[28:02] Gender differences in digital body language exist; What is Connectional Intelligence?[33:12] Understanding digital body language is an opportunity to be more inclusive and less biased; Tips for virtual job interviews.[37:26] Erica: On deciding not to go down the traditional path.Resources:Website: https://ericadhawan.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericadhawan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ericadhawanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericadhawan_/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo2UXHdLiuhxhS9vwpG_S2gBook: https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Body-Language-Connection-Distance/dp/1250246520Connect with Tayo Rockson and the As Told By Nomads Podcast on:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tayorockson Podcast:
Welcome to episode #778 of Six Pixels of Separation. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #778 - Host: Mitch Joel. Lost in translation. I fear there is no better phrase to explain what has happened to our ability to better communicate since the pandemic took hold. Zoom meetings, using emojis, and cultural shifts have turned an already complex world of communications into one that is ever-more complex (it's amazing how badly a message can now be received simply because the speaker's lighting is off). Thankfully, management thinkers like Erica Dhawan are around. Even better, she's tackled this topic in her latest book, Digital Body Language - How to Build Trust and Connection, No Matter the Distance. Whether it's emails, being ghosted, or trying to understand if that "lol" is really a laugh or sarcasm, Erica has decoded most of this for the rest of us. Erica also wrote, Get Big Things Done - The Power of Connectional Intelligence, back in 2015. Erica is a leadership expert and keynote speaker that helps organizations and leaders innovate faster and further, together. She is the founder of Cotential - a company that has helped leaders and teams leverage twenty-first-century collaboration skills globally. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 56:39.

Humans rely on body language to connect and build trust, but with most of our communication happening from behind a screen, traditional body language signals are no longer visible - or are they? Erica Dhawan, the world's leading authority on 21st century Collaboration and Connectional Intelligence, joined the Way Forward webcasts to bring key insights to our PEO audience. In her new book,Digital Body Language, she combines cutting edge research with engaging storytelling to decode the new signals and cues that have replaced traditional body language across genders, generations, and culture. In real life, we lean in, uncross our arms, smile, nod and make eye contact to show we listen and care. Dhawan investigates a wide array of exchanges-from large conferences and video meetings to daily emails, texts, IMs, and conference calls-and offers insights and solutions to build trust and clarity to anyone in our ever-changing world. Digital Body Language will turn your daily misunderstandings into a set of collectively understood laws that foster connection, no matter the distance.

She shares lots of practical advice on such matters as when to write in all caps, with whom to use emojis, how to negotiate ambiguous time-to-respond issues, how to respond to passive aggressive emails, a method for analyzing your digital body language style, and more.

Mike Wood welcomes Erica Dhawan, one of the speakers at WorkHuman Live 2020, to this week’s show. Erica is the world’s leading authority on Connectional Intelligence and the founder and CEO of Cotential. She is a speaker, trainer and consultant, as well as a bestselling author and podcast host. Named the Oprah of Management by the Thinkers 50, Erica is considered one of the management thinkers most likely to shape the future of business. She and Mike chat about digital body language, the topic she will speak on at WorkHuman Live 2020. What is Digital Body Language? A modern dilemma is that while body language makes up 75% of communication, today 70% of our communication is digital. As a result, it’s becoming more difficult to express what you mean in the workplace, and to grasp what others mean. These days we don’t talk the talk, Erica says, we write the talk. She defines digital body language as the cues and signals we send in our messages that truly make up the subtext of what we mean. She says that it is a key skill to help reduce the empathy deficit that strains workplace relationships. New Signals Mike asks what signals we should look for in digital communications. Erica responds that digital body language shapes every interaction we have now, even face to face ones. Some of the new signals are word choice, response time, medium choice, and email signature. The key thing to keep in mind is how our digital body language signals are received by others. She says that we should first ask ourselves if we've given the other person enough context and if we're being clear, then if we’re using an emotional tone that’s in keeping with our company culture. Practice Patient and Careful Responses Today’s advanced technology, Erica says, has created a culture where we feel that communication has to be instant. One of the most important elements of digital body language is to practice patient and careful responses. Be patient; you shouldn’t panic or get upset if someone doesn’t respond immediately, Erica says. A better approach is to include response time expectations in your messages. When you rush to respond to messages, there’s a high chance that your response will have mistakes and typos. Hasty responses can cause a breakdown in trust, Erica points out. Respond carefully and thoughtfully. Using Sarcasm and Humor There are times when we can use sarcasm or humor in our digital communications effectively, but it depends on the audience and our relationship with them. Erica describes when sarcasm and humor is appropriate, and when it’s better not to use it. Ultimately, she says, everyone has their own style of sarcasm, and if it can cause misunderstanding, it’s best not to use it at all. Mike adds that there still needs to be a tone of business in your writing. Erica comments that digital body language is a whole new skill set but it’s critical for teamwork and leadership in the modern age.

In this world of hyperconnectivity, what it means to become successful has completely changed from before. Now, teams and leaders get big things done not by simply pouring out their intelligence but by having connectional intelligence. CEO and the founder of Cotential Erica Dhawan believes this to be true, and she shares why some succeed and get things done while others don’t. Erica outlines the three main things that individuals can do to grow their connectional intelligence. Believing in the transformational purpose of human life, August Turak – award-winning author, speaker, consultant and contributor for Forbes and BBC – dives into the philosophy of moving away from being a selfish person into a selfless person. As someone who works with Trappist monks and nonprofits, he shares the journey of how he came to know the purpose of life. August ties it to leadership and how they could provide a vision of meaning to their followers. Love the show?

Are you familiar with the term, Connectional Intelligence? It’s the ability to create and drive greater value by effectively harnessing your networks and relationships. Erica Dhawan says it’s the next, greatest trait or skill that leaders will use to bring change to their workplaces and the world. She believes our greatest tools and resources are in the places we least expect them to be, and our connections and networks are what put us in touch with those resources and makes us aware of them. I’ve invited Erica Dhawan on this episode of Real Relationships to hear what her research has revealed about the power of connectional intelligence, so I hope you listen. Want to improve your connectional intelligence? Here are some ways you can do it now! In many ways it’s not who you know that is important, it’s how you engage with the people you know. You want to learn how to maximize the connections and networks you already have to bring greater value to your entire circle of connections. You improve your connectional intelligence by learning to ask different kinds of questions, by keeping clear on who is in your circle who has something to offer to the people you are interacting with presently. Those are all ways you can connect intelligently. Find out more about how you can improve your connectional intelligence from my guest, Erica Dhawan, on this episode. The 5 Cs of connectional intelligence. Learn them and grow your business. There is a cognitive surplus within most organizations, a pool of knowledge and experience that is already available to the group. It’s vital for leaders to build teams of people who are able to mine that information and knowledge in ways that help the overall organization utilize it for the benefit of the company and its clients. The people you’re looking for to be a part of that team are ones who have the 5 Cs of connectional intelligence: curiosity, combination, community, courage, and combustion. You can find out what those mean and how you can learn more about the idea of C.I. from this episode of Real Relationships. If you’re trying to improve your relationships with your contacts, it’s not just about follow-up. When most people think about good connections they think of developing an organized, systematic way of following up with their contacts. Of course, that’s important, but it takes a lot more than that to improve your relationships with contacts. Let’s take a business prospect as an example. You need to be asking yourself, “How do you bring the knowledge inside your organization to bear on that client’s needs? How do you grow the potential of the deal by enabling your potential clients to meet with service partners who can help them understand how to use your resources and theirs to gain the thing they’re looking for?” Those are the ways you make the most of your network of connections, and on this episode, my guest Erica Dhawan tells us how. Are you interested in learning what type of connector you are? Here’s a free tool you can use. Do you know what type of connector you are? For example: Are you more of a thinker who likes to connect around ideas? Or are you an enabler who likes to connect with people through meetings, phone calls, or networking events? Or perhaps you’re an executor - a person who likes to connect around some action point? You need to know - and you need to know how to use your connection style to build better, more valuable relationships within your circle of influence. On this episode, you’ll be offered a free assessment so that you can discover your unique type of connectional intelligence.

I have long been a fan of Malcolm Gladwell's book Tipping Point, in particular, the "Connectors, Mavens and Salesmen" chapter where he talks about different personality types that impact social change. So imagine my delight when I met Erica Dhawan the author of Get Big Things Done: The Power of Connectional Intelligence, with co-author Saj-nicole A. Joni. They have spent years delving into research about what they term "connectional intelligence" -- arguably the most important skill currency of the 21st century. In this conversation, Erica and I discuss: 3 types of connectors -- Thinkers, Enablers and Connection Executors How people are using connectional intelligence to solve complex problems and start movements How organizations can develop connectional intelligence Exerpts from our conversation: "A lot has changed since Gladwell his book came out in 2006. When he framed that term (connector), he framed that there were three personality traits: Connector, Maven and Salesman that play a central role in the creation of social epidemics. From my research, to be successful, to get noticed, to start a movement, we ALL are entering the category of Connector. The question is not if we are connectors, but which type of connectors are we?"
