The International Conversation Coach for Kids and Adults, Jackie Bailey, has witnessed dynamic shifts in family relationships, friendships, and even business success when five particular rules of effective conversation are applied. These tools are beneficial to adults, teens, and kids because they are simple and practical. Because of Jackie’s engaging style, you’ll not only learn the Five Rules of Effective Conversation, but you’ll also be putting them to use before her presentation concludes. You’ll leave her session a more effective conversationalist.
