A dead-end conversation

Stagnant Communication Syndrome occurs when conversations become repetitive and disengaging, stifling creativity and productivity. Grace Liu explains that when people fall into routine communication—whether in meetings, emails, or personal interactions—it leads to misunderstandings and frustration. Signs include feeling disconnected, uninspired, or stuck in predictable exchanges. Recognizing these patterns is the first step to breaking free and improving communication.

The problem often goes unnoticed until its effects—like disengagement and miscommunication—become obvious. Grace explains that we default to familiar patterns, assuming they work. To reset communication, she suggests reflecting on your style: Are you actively listening? Bringing fresh ideas? Overcoming stagnant communication requires variety, open-ended questions, and empathetic listening. Small changes can revive relationships and drive personal and professional growth.
