Have you ever been speechless - standing there with zero clue what to say? Thinking, "I really wish there was a cheatsheet I could use in this moment." Well, in this episode, I'm introducing you to a new tool called the Communication Equation.
My guest is Doug Taylor, a communication consultant and the author of the Communication Equation newsletter. Doug has developed a framework that you can use to obtain effective communication. We discuss each part of the equation, what it looks like in practice, and different ways the equation can be used to connect with those around you.

Humans are storytelling creatures. We relate through story, we're inspired by story, we're moved by story, and we experience life through story. From thousands of years ago to today - we've been sharing narrative with one another to come together.
This episode is a reflection on that and some tactical info that may help your stories. Stories are important because that can improve conversation. And when conversation is improved, relationships are improved. And when relationships are improved, life is improved! This is out of my expertise - so next time I'm bring in an EXPERT!
