In smaller gatherings, however, she mentally \\u201cfreezes up\\u201d and rambles until she regains her train of thought. As Shannon prepares to start interacting with a congregation, Courtney Martin sits her down with former How To! host Charles Duhigg, author of Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. Charles gives Shannon the tools to understand others and be understood herself.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\nIf you liked this episode check out: How To Speak Up So Others Listen\\n\\nDo you have a problem that needs solving?
