What is an ”authentic” conversation and how do you create one?

Too often it seems like we are talking passed each other. Whether people are on different sides of a topic or simply too distracted to actually listen, conversations can feel fake, shallow and even useless. I invited Philip Tate and James Lee to have a conversation (which felt authentic to me) about how we might create real communication and connection.   To learn about the panelists, please visit their LinkedIn profile: Philip Tate: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/philiptateaprfellowprsa/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/philiptateaprfellowprsa/</a>James Lee: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbE9UY3Q4M0lzQ0o5RnRfZjB6bXI5ek9FdTJLQXxBQ3Jtc0ttamFFNlVlaDZyTUVuWFVDSUg5OUFPc1dRTkR4RWhiNmZEMlhjS29KcWtoVjhhR2VuVGtEYlNldGJraEdOYXZnTm1vME84am9mSF9Sa2JGWTQ5MzduZktSa0JBMkFuY2MyZVpnTkU4NjJwTmdJdG5yaw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fjleeadvisor%2F'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/jleeadvisor/</a> Dr Robyn Odegaard: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/</a>   <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/quickhits'>#QuickHits</a> are designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to get other people's thoughts on various subjects.
