Professional Conversationalist Podcast
Every fortnight, the Professional Conversationalist Podcast brings you insights and humour regarding conversations in the workplace. Join hosts Iyare Umweni and Chris Chin for thought-provoking ideas on every type of conversation imaginable - from gut-wrenching conflicts to transformative exchanges that change lives. Conversations in the workplace are not the same types of conversation you would have in a bar. There are nearly always outcomes attached, complexities involved, and so little time to have them. Oh, and you have to have them in a way that builds relationships and not tear them down. Find some space in your day to pay attention to one of your most important capabilities - the way you ”conversate”.
