Episode Synopsis

When we live and work closely with others, we think we know exactly what they’re going to say, how they’re approaching something, and how they see the world. The truth, though, is that we don’t.

You would not only gain a fuller understanding of those around you, you’d also hear information to then guide your conversation into a more productive direction.

If you’re ready for a fun and powerful phrase to turn any conversation into a curious coaching moment, press the play button now. Full transcript at https://debelbaum.com/podcast/
