Show Notes

If leaders can’t engage others, they won’t be able to ignite their meaningful change. But don’t be fooled that when you speak, they are even listening. There are a lot of reasons why they may not even hear you. As Jonathan learns in this Illumify Game Changer episode, it’s better to know what those are before you open your mouth to speak.
