Bronwyn has midwifed over a hundred and twenty TEDx, TED Global, and TED talks. When she’s not writing or in coaching mode, Bronwyn’s goal is to be the “eye of the storm” in a household of three children and a Type A husband in the Bay Area. She spends an alarming amount of time listening to NPR, sings in a cover band, and secretly wishes she could write a novel, pen a decent song, and learn to speak Farsi. Not necessarily in that order.  WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE: How to become a great and effective communicator What it means to truly shine in terms of communication, and what the “art of shining” is How to determine what your triggers are and learn to call yourself out on them Why college is a great place to test the waters, and can be a great starting point to developing better communication skills.
