MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Buffini Coaching LiveNOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE “We need to understand that questions are the keys to unlocking any door we need to walk through.” — Ken Coleman “My goal in every interview is to get someone to say, ‘I’ve never been asked that before’ or ‘I’ve never shared this before.’” — Ken Coleman “Listen with your ears for tone, with your eyes for body language, with your face to mirror engagement, and with your body to show respect.” — Ken Coleman “I'm going to listen with my eyes. And this is probably as important as the ears. I'm watching body language. I'm watching an uncomfortable shift or I'm watching the shoulders drop.” — Ken Coleman “Confidence isn’t pre-loaded — it’s the consequence of a good conversation.” — Ken Coleman itsagoodlife.com Hosted on Acast.
