Sometimes it is not simply what you say. It is your ability to recognize what other people are thinking, feeling, and responding to before you decide what to say next. On this insightful episode of Building Fortunes Radio, Peter Mingils features distinguished host Edie Raether, author of The 3 Second Neuroshift Book and Workbook, in an interactive conversation with communication expert and bestselling author Diane DiResta.
