Hosts Ruben Navarrette and Bob Harrison sit down with Gary Denham, a retired 20 year Navy SEAL and nearly 11 year member of their elite SEAL Team 6. Gary shares his experience as both a SEAL, SEAL Instructor and teacher on the key elements of leadership and effective communication. As the comms guy calling in the helicopters and communicating other life or death needs for his platoons, Gary shares the one essential reality of communicating well: the other person receiving the message is more important than you! They must hear what you are trying to say - a simple but powerful comment. We learn, yet again from another expert, the importance of listening well if a two way conversation is going to be on point and effective, essential for the police when dealing with the public during stressful situations.
