Can One Conversation Change Your Life? with Topaz Adizes

Kayla is joined by trial attorney Jefferson Fisher, who has gained millions of followers across social media by sharing his professional knowledge with the world on how to communicate better. It’s not just the words itself but the tone and even the silence we use or don’t use that impacts how others perceive us. Whether it be in professional or personal settings, we all could benefit from being more intentional with what we say and how we say it. Or what we choose not to say at all!
