139: Using Brain-Based Communication to Create Connection with Dr. Ali Atkison

Dr. Ali Atkison, a growth coach facilitator at HRD, specializes in bringing brain-based communication techniques to life, helping leaders to take their communication to the next level. Early in her career, when Ali was working as a teacher, she had an out-of-body experience. As she lectured her class, she realized her straightforward read-from-her-notes approach was boring, even to herself. So she stopped and had the students pull their desks into a circle, and discussion began. In this episode, she explains how this moment of connection and co-creation was a turning point for her, sparking a journey of discovery to explore the science of brain-based communication and teaching. Listen in to learn how to craft powerful messages that connect with your audience through brain-based communication, which isn't nearly as heady as it sounds.
