A REALcast is a podcast, and so much more. These are a number of audio recordings which support Dr. John R. Stoker's bestselling book, Overcoming Fake Talk.
In these audio recordings, John Stoker teaches the principles for holding REAL Conversations. The recordings are illustrated with stories and skills that make each audio memorable and easy to apply. And, in many instances, John will teach skills that are not in his book or the REAL Talk training.
The first REALcast, “What Keeps You Up at Night?,” is available as a free sample to anyone and everyone who visits the DialogueWORKS site. As you can see from the menu below, there is a whole library of REALcasts covering principles and skills that will help you hold REAL Conversations and avoid fake talk and all of the problems it can create.
