Happy new year!
You know matters even more than your job or your career? Your life. It’s a new year, and I am pumped for 2016. I am planning on making some big changes in my life and I hope it will inspire you to continue to see your life as a project, and you as being the manager. There’ll be more on that later.
Today I bring you my friend Adam Nesrallah, who is a former spy, to talk about some of his intelligence gathering techniques to help us with better understanding communication. So if you want to learn more about the work of a spy and how the way spies communicate can help you with your own communication, make sure to check out today’s episode.
