--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/alex-greenwood1/messageRob Ashton is a writer, entrepreneur, and a former research scientist and editor, who’s had a lifelong fascination with how the things we read and write influence what we think and do.
He’s been investigating the brain science of reading and writing for more than six years, giving him a unique insight into why so much of our written communication fails. He says writing is ‘the invisible medium, hidden in plain sight’. And his research reveals that much of the misunderstanding in the world stems from our new reliance on tapping on our keyboards and phones instead of actually talking to each other.
Rob also founded the global learning company skills.com/staff_members/robert-ashton">Emphasis in 1998. With his team, he’s enabled more than 80,000 people to make much more impact with their professional writing. His advice has been sought by everyone from the tech giants of Silicon Valley to the Royal Household at Buckingham Palace.

Get Silent Influence -- Free!
This is a five-part (free) email/audio course I created to help raise awareness of some of the science behind how written words influence our thoughts and decisions. (It’s an actual course, not a sales/marketing funnel.)
