In this episode, Patrick introduces Connective Communication and walks us through the first of a two-part series discussing communication that reaches beyond a simple exchange of clarity, details, and data and works into the feelings of those we are seeking to lead.
Connective Communication answers questions and even understands the questions before they're asked. Bring clarity, bring details, and bring data.
