Welcome to a special series ‘Conversations That Count’ featuring Singapore-based professionals. This sunny island has been my home since 2009, so I’m excited to shine a spotlight on the inspiring residents I share this sunny island with!

About our guest:

Edric Poon is the host of “Edric Poon In Company” – a home-grown podcast that features Entrepreneurs, C-Suites and leaders in Asia, who share their decades of experience in learning, life and business. He also runs his own podcast production and content creation business – Kaleoscopic Communications. Known as the “Podsmith”, Edric helps both businesses and individuals, create and curate podcasts best suited for their target markets!

I was delighted to sit down with him to exchange notes on the lessons we have learned through our experience as podcast hosts.

Here are just a couple of key takeaways from our conversation:

• The Power of Connection: Edric emphasized the importance of both parties checking their egos at the door to create a space for vulnerability and openness. This connection not only enriches the conversation but also ensures that the audience feels engaged and valued. Remember, it’s not just about the two of you; it’s about the listeners who are tuning in!
• Embrace Awkward Moments: We all know that awkward silences can happen, but instead of shying away from them, Edric suggests addressing the elephant in the room. By acknowledging these moments, we can turn potential discomfort into relatability. It’s a reminder that we’re all human, and embracing our imperfections can create a more authentic connection with our audience.

I invite you to listen to this illuminating conversation and discover more about the nuances of podcasting and effective communication. Whether you're a seasoned podcaster or just starting out, there’s something in this episode for you!
