2020-06-0101:18:16

Kitty Cole has dedicated her career to "Listening Skills", and communications. Her empathic listening has elevated her to the top of her craft. She is a sought after business coach and shares many or her tips through stories and practices that we discuss in this interview. These skills are available to all of us, and we just need to listen. Sounds simple but as you find out by listening to us, it takes awareness, vulnerability, empathy, and a willingness to change our patterns that are keeping us from having long-term, healthy relationships, whether that is with family, business, or with intimate partners. By listening to this interview you will discover what it takes to elevate your listening skills. Enjoy
