Success and failure ultimately come from good or bad communication. How we verbalise our thoughts and feelings, and internalise them, affects our performance, relationships and wellbeing. James and Mark discuss what you can do to retrain your brain and learn new ways of looking at how you speak to others, and to yourself, and how focusing on this can help build your personal success as a leader.

They discuss all sorts of themes, including the art of the 'pity-party', energy vampires, the power of verbalising thoughts, and how to deal with awkward office conversations!
