In the last three decades I’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to happy, connected relationships and effective communication. Being the 200th episode of the podcast, I thought it would be the perfect time to recap my top ten tools for effective communication in every relationship. These tools work for all relationships although most people are interested in how to communicate better with their partner, so I’ll default to that relationship here, but please remember that these are the tools you want to use at work, with your parents, siblings and friends too.
