The #1 Skill Harvard Says You MUST HAVE to Open More Doors & Deepen Relationships

from Earn Your Happy · host Lori Harder | YAP Media

I went on one of those rare, unstructured walks where I listened to the Diary of a CEO podcast on the science of conversation, and it completely changed how I think about connection. In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways from Harvard behavior expert Alison Wood Brooks on why the way you communicate isn’t a personality trait, it’s a skill. I break down the TALK framework and how a few shifts in the way you ask questions, listen, and respond can change who trusts you, who wants to work with you, and who wants to stay connected to you.
