Listen More. Talk Less

Why is it so challenging to stay quiet? What is the result of over talking or talking exactly at the moment when it would be so much more beneficial to stay silent?

Having a Communication Challenge? Sometimes we just need to contact a trained professional.

When we encounter communication challenges, sometimes we just have to woman or man up and ask a trained professional for help.
