  • T + T Ep 24 - Communication by Design
    Mar 22 2022

    Communication can be hard, but the good news is it doesn’t have to be!  On this episode Lori Milliken and Michelle DeReus  share personal stories of how the powerful study I Said This You Heard That by author, speaker and communication expert Kathleen Edelman has helped them alter their communication style for the better.  We are all wired with a unique temperament that affects how we communicate and the things we need to hear from others.  Understanding our temperament and that of those around us can help us to live out God’s design for communication - to build others up according to their needs, not ours.   
    Check out this episode to learn more about this impactful study and the lessons that they learned!
