Do you rarely have any misunderstandings, disagreements, or fights? Do your patients, employees, colleagues, spouse, and children follow your instructions to the “T”; virtually all of the time? Are you able to persuade people to do what you want them to do even if they don’t feel like it? Are people anxious to follow you even in extremely challenging situations? In short, are you getting all you want at work and at home? If your answer is “no” to at least three of these, then this CPE program is for you. You will discover fail-safe strategies that will enable you to communicate more effectively with your boss, your employees, your colleagues, your significant other, your children, and maybe even your pet!
