Description

Susan Campbell's writing on communication and personal coaching consultations have helped me greatly. She is a psychologist, a prolific writer, and a life coach in Sebastopol, California. Her latest book is 5 Minute Relationship Repair. I also highly recommend her other books Getting Real, and Truth in Dating. She has a passion for inspiring and fostering progressive change in the world, and channels this through her writing, work with clients, and training of other coaches in her Getting Real approach. I'm excited that she is on this podcast. Her wisdom flows with such ease, it could be easily missed if you're not paying attention. I recommend listening closely and/or repeatedly, as she relates profound and practical thoughts, ideas and perspectives on such thing as:  

• Exponential change
• Getting real
• Coaching organizations
• Communication during conflict
• The current political climate 
• and more...
