Hear us discuss: 

Exercise 1 - Archetypes. [3:05] | Exercise 2 - The Boasting Friend: “Even if we have some inkling of what makes us great, we are unwilling to name it out loud.” [5:25] | “When you see yourself through another’s eyes, you often see things you may not have noticed before.” [7:44] | Dan Pontefract talks about his worst working relationship: “Being punctual is not poisonous; being present is actually perfect.” [8:02]
