Say It Like You Mean It: The Self-Expression Side of Emotional Intelligence

Send us Fan Mail I’m Sandy Gerber and this is the Magnetic Communication Podcast—the show that helps you build stronger relationships at work, at home, and within yourself.   Today we’re diving into part two of our Emotional Intelligence series. If you missed part one on Self-Perception, make sure to go back and check it out—because this series builds like a staircase.
