- Active Listening Techniques. Active listening is all about full engagement in what the other person is saying. Perks? You build better relationships, solve problems effectively, and increase understanding.
- Public Speaking and Storytelling. Fear public speaking? You’re not alone. But mastering this skill lets you communicate your ideas clearly and convincingly.

- As A Man’s Man. We live in the age of reconstructed and reclaimed masculinity, but a man is a man, and the hunter-gatherer instinct is strong.
