Let’s be honest … How good of a communicator are you?
Have you ever felt like you have said the same thing a few times and some clients get it while others don’t? This, for sure, has happened to me which led me to today’s guest.
In today’s session, I chat with Barb Mayfield about how to build up your communications skills and truly make an impactful connection with your clients or an audience.
