If you only pay attention to what people are saying in conversations or meetings, you will miss vital information. Because what we say isn’t necessarily what we think or believe.

Especially with passive-aggressive people. Their lips may say one thing, but their actions often communicate a different story.

In this episode, I teach you how to use the red basketball visualization technique to know who you’re doing with and how to keep passive-aggressive people in check.

Join me, Stephen Moegling, as we go down the rabbit hole of human communication: so you have the best chance at having Connected Conversations in business.

Connected Conversations are conversations when you’re connected with your audience: they’re not distracted, disgruntled, or disengaged, and neither are you. And when you and your audience are connected, the sky’s the limit.

Connected Conversations are what we need more of in business today. Less friction. Less gridlock. Less fear that you won’t be heard or respected.

If you’re a leader, Connected Conversations are what your team asks of you. And if you’re on the path to leadership (which we all are), learning the ancient art and science of connecting with people is perhaps your greatest asset for having the life you want.
