Do people often misunderstand what you’re trying to communicate to them? Do you have a hard time getting your point across? Clear and affective communication is where this can change and the Growth Now Movement is here to help. In this Episode with Bob Paff, Author of Communicating to Win, and the voice of National Geographic, we will cover how and why affective communication is the answer. We talk about how you intend others to receive your message, might not always be how you think it’s being perceived. We really get into how we can communicate to get others to perceive what we intend them to. This is something that Justin and I have started implementing immediately after this podcast. I can say, it has helped us personally and professionally almost instantaneously. If we can master communicating affectively, it can make our lives better professionally and personally. We also dive into how Bob wants to be the face of Mental Illness, and how he is in talks with a number of TV Networks for a show focusing on just that. We dive into his personal hardships and how his ability to communicate with himself helped him through it. So please enjoy this incredible episode with Bob Paff!

Does your reputation precede you? Do you think there is opportunity with how customers or individuals perceive you? In this podcast we speak with Pam Gockley, founder and CEO of Reputatus and the Author of Two Books. The Reputation Factor, and The Art of Running Red Lights. With Pam we dive into how you can discover what the perception is of your image right now. Trust me, for most of you, it will be a surprise. This podcast is great for anyone, because we talk about how your perception of how you think you are perceived can vastly differ from how you actually are perceived. In order to then relay how you want to be perceived, we need to define who we are. By defining who we are, this sets the tone for everything else we want to relay. All this allows us to develop a plan of action to create that great reputation we want others to think of us. So join us on this incredible episode and really learn what makes this incredible, hardworking woman tick. If you like what you hear, please Subscribe on iTunes for more episodes.
