Crash Courses in Communication with Alex Perry
This podcast answers some of life’s most challenging and awkward communication questions. We cover everything from how to diffuse jerks, to asking for a raise, how to start a conversation at a networking event, and even what to do if your nose starts running in the middle of a presentation. When you listen, you’ll learn how to handle conversations with ease. These episodes are based on real questions I get from my clients every day and are filled with practical tips you can start using immediately. And, I’ve kept these episodes short, so you get just what you need, when you need it, without having to listen through long, drawn-out interviews. Listen, whether you’re talking at work, home, or just hanging out with your friends there isn’t an aspect of your life that isn’t impacted by your communication, so why not be the absolute best you can be? Your words matter and it’s time to take your talking next level. Are you ready?
