???? Episode One: Carole Robin on relationships

So we're thrilled to introduce you to Carole Robin. She is the co-author along with David Bradford Ph.D., of Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends and Colleagues. The book emerged from a class they taught at Stanford Business School. Students affectionately called it "The Touchy Feely Class."?You can listen to this episode above, or find it?right here .
