In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mark Altman, who is the founder of MindsetGo, a company that helps people become more confident and effective communicators.  Mark reached out to me a few months back and since then, we’ve been catching up to speak about leadership, training and all sorts of other topics and to bounce ideas off each other.  In our conversation we speak about the importance of mindset, the impact of showing appreciation to others and some tips on starting to break those bad leadership habits you might have got yourself into! Mark Altman Bio In 2015, Mark Altman, started MindsetGo to help people become more confident and effective communicators. Mark has over two decades of experience speaking and training on interpersonal disciplines including organizational development, leadership, sales enablement, communication, emotional intelligence, and generational engagement.  Prior to MindsetGo, he founded Mark Altman & Associates (MA&A) in 2001.
