Communicating Across Language Barriers
Discipline 3: Communication — Lesson 5 of 12
Lecturer: Priya Ansell
A nod isn't confirmation. It's just a nod. This session covers building shared signals with new teammates before the first session, simplifying rather than shouting, and actually confirming understanding instead of assuming it.
The three rules
1. Build shared signals early.
2. Simplify, don't shout.
3. Confirm, don't assume.
