Can We Talk?

‘Text messages, email, voicemail and social media are no substitute for saying, “Can we talk?” and meeting face to face. It’s time to have some important conversations and build connections with the special people in your life.’

Watto says we’ve learned to fear having face-to-face conversations, and it’s time to change that.

In CAN WE TALK? one of Australia’s best communicators tells how to build robust connections – with our partners and families, at work, and in sporting teams. His brand of safe, non-judgemental, non-manipulative communication leads to stronger relationships, better business deals, and greater joy.
