Every day, you make a countless number of decisions, from what to have for dinner to what detergent to buy.

You likely spend a good portion of your day in conversation with other people. Yet, we seldom detect what is happening “under the radar” in those conversations – and there is a lot going on. Listen and meet Elizabeth Stokoe, a social psychologist who spent 20 years transcribing and analyzing real conversations people have and discovered some rather amazing things that happen when we people talk with each other. What she discovered will surprise you and help you be a better conversationalist. Elizabeth is author of the book, Talk: The Science of Conversation (https://amzn.to/3A2ShXQ).
Deadlines are interesting. Without them a lot of things would never get done. Yet, some of us wait until the very last minute to do what needs to be done even though we could’ve started it a lot sooner. There must be a better way to meet deadlines and according to Christopher Cox – there is! Christopher is author of the book The Deadline Effect: How to Work Like It’s the Last Minute―Before the Last Minute (https://amzn.to/3ty01P3). As a former magazine editor for many years, Christopher was constantly dealing with deadlines. Listen to what he discovered so that you might just change your ways the next time a deadline is looming.
