Sam Horn with Talking on Eggshells

Talking on Eggshells: Soft Skills for Hard Conversations. A LinkedIn article from exactly eight years ago introduced Living on Purpose host Lynn Thompson to the prolific writer, speaker, and consultant, Sam Horn. And on the publication day of Sam's 10th book, Talking on Eggshells, published by New World Library, Lynn gets to welcome Sam as her guest. Mid-way through their conversational tour, they discover they both know Dewitt Jones, who is one of America’s top professional photographers and one of the most sought–after keynote speakers.

Sam Horn is the CEO of the Intrigue Agency, a positioning/messaging consultancy that helps people design and deliver TEDx talks (as she did with Dewitt), keynotes, funding pitches, and one-of-a-kind brands. She is also the CEO of the Tongue Fu! Training Institute, a trade-marked communication skills approach that teaches how to give and get respect at work, at home, online, and in public.

With her books published in 17 languages, Sam has had the privilege of speaking to more than half a million people worldwide, and her work has been featured in dozens of publications, including the NY Times, Forbes, Readers Digest, Fast Company, and Harvard Business Review. She has been interviewed on every major network, including NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, NPR, and MSNBC.

And now, Living on Purpose. Thank you, Sam!
