    Making Helpful Changes in Your Communication (Part 1 of 2)

    Date: Nov 21, 2022

    Guests: Mike Bechtle

    Dr. Mike Bechtle wants to help people communicate better, especially in our social media world where everybody is talking all at once and nobody is listening. Mike explains we need “more weight” or value to our communication in order to be heard, and he talked about how we can use emotion in positive ways to energize our conversations. (Part 1 of 2)
