Have you ever wondered why your sister/mother/brother/boss/friend drives you nuts? If so, then this podcast will be a great help to you for understanding why the people in your life act the way they do, and what you can do to communicate with them most effectively.
Episodes #2 and #3 covered how to recognize these people in your life. For more information on that, please listen to those podcasts. This podcast and #5 will cover how to “Fill the Need Tank” (in the words of Stephen Covey).
