209: Say This Not That: Supportive Conversations

Having difficult conversations is never easy, but it doesn’t have to be impossible. This week on the Bouch, we explore and practice how to be a better listener, supporter, and improve our EQ in conversations. While these conversations are more about supporting people in crisis or helping folks through a tough time, the skills work across the board at improving emotional intelligence.
