In this episode, David brings everything you have learned about communication in the previous CALM episodes. He talks about how to go embody communication. To go beyond just sharing information so that you can create desire in your listeners, which, in turn, drives them to action.

 

He covers the art of listening and overcoming the four barriers that get in the way of effective communication. As well as how to be assertive without being aggressive, staying focused, non-verbal communication, manging your emotional state and more.
