It’s amazing how much practical, actionable advice, tips, and resources are included in every episode. This show will have you coming back for more and to re-listen to episodes. I am able to actually use the content in my own communication, and it has been very useful and helpful.
Love this podcast! Sounds like Improv!
Listening, being present, being able to react honestly to what you’re hearing, and practice makes progress! I’d love to hear if you incorporate improv games to improve these skills!
