257: The Laws of Connection That Will Transform Your Life. David Robson
Have you ever left a conversation doubting whether the other person liked you? You’re not alone—it’s called the Liking Gap. This week on Speak Like a CEO, Oliver Aust is joined by David Robson, author of the global bestsellers The Laws of Connection, The Expectation Effect, and The Intelligence Trap, and journalist and science writer for the BBC. David reveals laws of human connection and the psychology behind the Liking Gap – why we underestimate how much others like us and how it impacts our personal and professional lives. The conversation unpacks the consequences of the Liking Gap at work, including how it affects feedback, collaboration, and productivity. David also shares actionable strategies to overcome this bias, build stronger connections, have better conversations, and improve communication skills. By the end of this episode, you’ll learn practical steps to overcoming self-doubt so you can build deeper relationships in life and work. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve the relationships in their lives and make new ones.
