What’s your Communication Contract?

Anneli Blundell

17 February 2015

The tricky part of Communication Contracts is that they are often unconscious and therefore unexpressed

When I’m working with clients, either one on one or in groups, I pay a lot of attention to what’s happening in the general space.
