This episode will completely change the way you think about communication.

Or want to sound more confident without faking it… 

This is your blueprint for better conversations at work, in relationships, and in life. 

Today, Mel sits down with Dr. Alison Wood Brooks: Harvard professor, researcher, author, and one of the world’s leading experts on the science of communication.
