Fixing Miscommunication. Getting Through with leadership trainer Julie Holunga.
"It's so imperative that we are deliberate in how we communicate, that we think about it and NOT just take things at face value."
We're all connected but how do we 'get through' to people better? What's the difference between miscommunication, missed communication and mismatched communication? Why's it important to talk to someone the way THEY need to be talked to, rather than the way WE want to be talked to? Returning guest Julie Holunga tells AICPA & CIMA's newest podcast presenter Scott Kellam about how understanding the difference between internal and external processors can transform the way colleagues, peers, family and friends 'connect' with each other. And do it for the better.
