“If someone doesn't do as you expected, all you know for sure is that he or she didn't do as you expected.” Ann Latham explains the disconnect between what you expected and what happened in a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of her book The Disconnect Principle.

~  WE’LL DISCUSS ~

• What it means when people do not live up to our expectations
• How shifting our focus to fixing the situation instead of the person leads to a better dialogue
• How our thoughts about someone communicate louder in our body language and facial expressions than in our words
• How to do something with someone rather than to them
