S3E2: Getting Rid of the "But"


Listen Later

This week I'm talking about what happens when we use "but" to say something and then immediately negate it, or when we start our sentences with "no", "but", or "however". This seemingly harmless habit can cause our communications to break down, or to cause us to be seen as ineffective communicators or people who don't listen. 

Note that no butts were harmed in the making of this podcast.
