About this listen

Have you ever felt like you're not being listened to? That you're quiet? Or that you have amazing ideas that you struggle to articulate to others?

I'm Guy Roberts, and here we explore the quiet superpowers of communication. I grew up without ever saying much. It took me a long time to "find my voice".

Communication is the single most important skill you can learn in your life. And yes, it can be learnt. In each episode, we break down a topic or aspect of communication skills, to help you on your own journey to creating more meaningful connections with others, building self-confidence, and being seen and recognised for what you can offer.

Whether you're new to improving your communication or you're a seasoned speaker, let's find your quiet superpowers of communicating.

  • Why do I communicate so differently depending on who I'm with?

    Why do I communicate so differently depending on who I'm with?
    Jan 19 2026

    In this episode, within the series of questions that quiet people may ask themselves, we explore the question of why communication can be so different depending on who you're with.

    I've never understood why my communication can change significantly, when there is the addition or reduction of a single person. So I decided to explore this question!

    Apologies for the late release of this episode...! I was moving place, and had some difficulty with the recording setup. You'll notice the piano quality is also slightly different, as I was using an upright piano without any noise reduction, hope you enjoy the solo improv regardless!
