James Zimring: Fuzzy thinking and the Big Whopper

Learn to connect better with others in every area of your life.

You'll know many of the people in these conversations – they are luminaries in our culture. Some you may not know. But what links them all is their powerful ability to relate and communicate. It's something we need now more than ever.
