In this interview, Stuart speaks to Cathy MacDonald. Cathy is the owner of a company called The Art of Communication, which works with numerous businesses on improving their communication. She has worked heavily with us at LTB and runs a course which a lot of our members have been on. In the interview we discuss:

• How Cathy got into the world of communication

• Why communication is so important for not just PT's, but everybody

• How to improve your listening skills to better the connection you have with your clients

• What we need to know about emotions

• How to use reframing to ensure we don't get caught in what is fact and what is an assumption (we make this mistake often!!)

• What Cathy's recommendations would be for a PT who wants to start improving their communication skills
