It’s not enough to talk.

April 28, 2020

For several years, I sent out a blog to readers a few times a week. These posts gave pointers about how to practice, shared relevant stories, and provided a way for people to connect with my coaching approach. In 2022, I wrote my book, Before You Say Anything, which brought many of these ideas together in one place. The blog posts have continued to resonate with clients and readers, and they're useful as a quick reminder, so I'm including them here!

Sending your voice out over the nearest technology isn’t enough to make a connection. It isn’t enough to establish trust, or to share vulnerability.

We can do that more naturally in person, and when we can’t be in person, we have to work harder to connect. We have to rise to the occasion, to develop emotional intelligence in a new way, to be able to say out loud some things which could have been intuited in person.

It’s hard work, but it’s worth it.

Making a connection is more important than ever. Check out Angie’s podcast masterclass here: https://vimeo.com/411093249/95a1630bff
