  3. Steve’s way of Coaching: Reach out in an emotional and human way that achieves the objectives of your business by asking what are they thinking right now? How are they feeling? Are you putting it into words or are you using it as covert information to angle yourself?
  4. Key for recovery after pandemic settles is; who thought of the people they’re serving before hand?

The Art of Conversation is Back in Business

Do you love a good conversation with a smart person who is doing interesting things?

It's fun. It's invigorating. And for me, I find my best personal insights come from hearing what the other person is working on.

I write and speak extensively about professional networking, and I think that most of us forget that all of our relationships are at their core...a collection of conversations.

So join me as I chat with my favorite authors, entrepreneurs, artists, salespeople, and executives to find out what they're working on and thinking about these days.

Whether it's their favorite craft beer or the lesson they learned while starting their business, it's always interesting and always entertaining. Grab a glass and join us!
