E066 Communicate with IMPACT Part 2 with Patrick Donadio

In this episode we welcome back Patrick Donadio as we dive into the final three parts of his communication model.  Patrick first appeared as a guest on the show in November 2022 (Episode 32) and this time he is back with even more tips and tools to help us communicate better. Amongst the many topics we discuss are the power of active listening, the need to understand the intent of our communication, and the importance of engaging people physically, mentally, and emotionally.   KEY TAKEAWAY “Listening is so challenging because we think differently to how we speak. Our brain, mind, voice, and mouth do not work at the same speed. Being a good listener, is listening with your ears, listening with your eyes, and most importantly is getting ready to be a good listener, so you've got to come in with the right mindset.”   ABOUT PATRICK Patrick Donadio, MBA, CSP, MCC, is a communication strategist, speaker, coach, and author of the influential book, “Communicating with IMPACT”. Patrick is among a select few worldwide to have earned the highest designations in both the speaking and coaching professions.
