On this episode of GoalChat, Debra Eckerling talks about Communication with brand storyteller Dave Bricker, Speakipedia; media consultant Paula Rizzo, Listful Living, and connector Michael Roderick of Small Pond Enterprises.

The panel, which appeared together on an episode on Pitching last June, are all featured in Debra's new book, "52 Secrets for Goal-Setting and Goal-Getting."

Communication is the goal of every interaction. Dave, Paula, and Mike talk about the value of communication, what makes a good vs a bad communicator, and more.

What is Communication?

- Dave: Assurance that someone else gets us

- Mike: It's the first thing we learn but something we never master, we are a constant student

- Paula: Give and take. It's listening as much as it is talking

Goals

- Mike: Reach out to someone you admire and show that you have done your research without expectation of response

- Dave: Think about what you can do in terms of producing an outcome for another person that will make you both happy

- Paula: Make a to-become list, based on characteristic you admire in others
