Torpid Liver (and other symptoms of poor communication)
By Robin McCasland
Is torpid liver a symptom of poor communication? Probably. Okay, truth time. I don't know. I am sure, though, about it being a memorable podcast name. I offer practical recommendations for addressing communication challenges (including fears), so you can have more successful careers while working and living fearlessly. Sometimes it's just a chat with you and me. Sometimes I introduce you to some of the coolest, most successful communication professionals across the globe.
