Talking so the inner voices listen

How many of us feel like we’re having conversations with ourselves half the time?

Either we have yet to get the full attention of our audience (say, the team) or they need to understand what we’re saying in its entirety. There are practical neuroscience reasons for this, and in this guide, we’ll steer you through various theories about people and groups. Understanding these approaches will help any leader plan to build a high performing team for any project or activity, writes Claire Oatway
