Talk Time with Trish helps to improve communications for men and women. It's about all kinds of relationships; personal and professional. It's about every day interactions, the STUFF that makes up our lives, the STUFF that allows, or doesn't allow us to function in our everyday lives.
We are all comprised of parts that make us who we are. Parts we know, that others know. Parts we know, that others don't know. Parts that others know, that we don't. It's about the variables that impact and affect our lives.
How we manage in relationships is based on communication. The key to manage effectively in relationships, is effective communication.
What makes the difference is the communicator has to be genuine. Everything has to be real. Most important, it has to be proactive vs. reactive.
This show is about the human element. It's about all the parts that make us human.
