COMMUNICATION and IMPACT

Season 1, Ep. 16
•

This month I'm in conversation with the wonderful Richard Phillips, one of the world's leading coaches in personal communication, presentation and media skills. I first worked with Richard back in 2002 before I took my first CEO job. It remains some of the most impactful and enduring training that I've ever received. Twenty years on, his principles and belief system are as powerful as ever, and I'm thrilled that he's now sharing his wisdom with clients of The Growth House.
