Everyone has a voice, but rarely do we pay attention to how it is perceived by those around us. As a result, we don’t know how to use our voice to develop effective relationships with our students and residents. In this episode, guests Brandon Jennings and Nicole Caffiero - will help listeners identify their dominant voices as well as the dominant voices of their learners in order to lay the foundation for more productive interactions with students and residents.

As a sidebar, Brandon has done quite a bit of work with our CEimpact team, and the investment in better understanding our own and each other’s voices has impacted the way we work and communicate every day. It has resulted in better understanding, improved communication, and increased trust across our entire team. I hope you enjoy my conversation with him and his colleague Nichole in this episode.
