You’ll learn how to shift your conversations from transactional to relational, even if time is tight. Whether you feel grateful when someone else breaks the ice or you are a master of connection, you’ll walk away with practical techniques to use with your colleagues, clients, friends and even relative strangers to optimize connection in your life. Let’s supercharge your ability to connect well!
