Episode 30: Stop Making People Guess: How to Communicate Process at Work
Ever give a work update that was accurate but still left people with questions?

Where things stand → What’s in motion → What happens next

Episode 29: Communication Habits That Could Be Holding You Back at Work
Sometimes the communication habits that hold us back at work are not dramatic mistakes—they are small patterns that quietly shape how others experience us. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Medden examines four common habits: making assumptions, communicating inconsistently, avoiding messages when we feel uncertain, and failing to close the loop.
Using dialectical theory, she explains how professionals can balance responsiveness with healthy boundaries, consistency with flexibility, and connection with independence. You’ll also learn practical ways to clarify expectations, acknowledge messages before you have a complete answer, create realistic communication norms, and follow through more reliably.
This week’s practice: identify one open communication loop and close it.

Episode 28: How to Recover from a Communication Mistake
What should you do after a communication mistake? Whether you shared the wrong information, made an awkward joke, interrupted someone, or responded defensively, the way you recover often matters more than the mistake itself.
In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Medden introduces the PARC method—Pause, Acknowledge, Repair, and Continue—to help you respond clearly, protect trust, and move forward without overexplaining or spiraling.
