Clint Pardoe: What are some communication tools that students can use to improve relationships? Featured

As Clint Pardoe was about to graduate from college, he didn’t know what he wanted to do with his degree in Business. This, combined with the ending of a romantic relationship, led him to experiencing overt anxiety, which led to depression, which led to some deep soul-searching. He spent the next year waiting tables & obsessively reading books about personal growth and spirituality. Inspired by a former Professor, Clint went to graduate school to teach public speaking and interpersonal communication classes at the college level and, after a few years of doing so, did post-graduate work in Business/Life Coaching.
