If you take away words, how effective would your communication be? In today’s episode of the Communicator podcast, Equestrian coach Trish Braithwaite argues there is a myriad of effective communication methods without words. Trish is currently an Equestrian Australia-qualified D Level (Australian National medium/advanced) dressage judge and regularly trains to upgrade.  As a full-time freelance coach, Trish travels daily around the greater Brisbane area coaching at private and club facilities.
