A must-listen podcast for professionals and anyone who values relationships (so, everyone!)

Speaking and communication skills aren’t just for leaders and people who speak in public (although it’s critical that these people work on continually improving theirs). Every relationship, whether personal or professional, involves communicating, so shouldn’t we all want to improve? Roberta is an excellent host — she listens, she asks pointed and insightful questions, she’s a great conversationalist. And she has a wonderful variety of guests from a wide range of backgrounds join her on her show to talk about all kinds of topics related to speaking and communication. One of my favorite podcasts!
