This is the first part of a two-part conversation.Topics Covered:Chris’s journey from satellite design to communication coachingWhy conversations derail so quickly in the workplaceThe true cost of poor communication (hint: it’s not just time)How to frame your message using context, intent, and key pointThe GPS model: goal, problem, solution… and why it worksHow remote work and Zoom meetings can magnify bad habitsTips to avoid rambling and start strong in the first minuteLinks:Chris’s website - www.chrisfenning.com Chris’s LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-fenning/ Chris’s book, “TITLE” - https://amzn.to/3JwPNer Clint’s website - www.clintpadgett.com Clint’s LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/clintpadgett/ Clint’s book - https://amzn.to/3JWD2Ka
