No guests, no scripts, just honest reflections shaped by real conversations and real life.   This week’s episode was inspired by my conversation with James Michael Lafferty, and his brilliantly simple analogy when it comes to what you respond best to: are you a dog or a horse?   Some of us respond to encouragement. Others respond to being challenged. But we naturally communicate with people in the way we like to be communicated with. In this episode, I explore why real connection starts with understanding yourself, then working just as hard to understand the person in front of you and how to best connect with them.   Because communication isn’t just about what you want to say. It’s about how they need to hear it. So how often do you really think about what the other person needs from you?   Honest, reflective and straight from the heart. Off my chest and off the cuff.
