“The majority of people are hungry for calm energy. The power is not in the zinger from the talking heads on your favorite news channel, or having this quick clapback that’s going to sound cool for a second. The power is in having a calm energy that says, “whatever you say to me does not threaten me.” – Jefferson Fisher

Intro

I’m so psyched to welcome lawyer, author, and communication expert Jefferson Fisher to the show to talk about his book, The Next Conversation.

Many of you likely know Jefferson from social media, and for good reason- he teaches effective communication in an extremely accessible way. It’s why I love his work and invited him to the show.

During our conversation, Jefferson shared the many ways his parents influenced his communication skills and style, the lessons he learned from them, as well as why direct communication is attractive, how to keep calm during tricky conversations, and so much more.
