Let's Talk Courageous Communication with Telana Simpson

Real conversations are the ones that move things forward in relationships, that cause growth and improvement, and which are the ones that ultimately matter. In business and in life.

Being able to be authentic and real, to confront (and handle being confronted) when needed, be open and tell the truth, ask for help, even say no and speak up for ourselves, are conversations that many of us find challenging and difficult.

Yet they are the conversations that count.

Telana Simpson helps bright, talented people have no regrets in life by being able to have these meaningful conversations.

Let’s Talk Communication is Telana’s podcast show where she learns how to have these types of conversations, and has some with her guests.

She talks with others to learn more about communicating skills and how to improve relationships, so that more of us can change the world by changing the type of conversations we have.
