In this episode, we are joined by Ann Butera, the president of The Whole Person Project, Inc., an organizational development consulting firm. Diana and Ann do a deep dive into the relationship between a person’s conversation skill level and the associated value of their communication currency. They also have a great discussion about what Ann refers to as “covidity,” where the current covid era challenges each of our soft skills. Lastly, they talk about confidence and the technique of “fake it till you feel it.”
