Optimal Conversations
Learning to talk is natural, but let's face it, finding the right words can be tough. We either stumble and risk losing respect, or stay silent and lose self respect. Enter the Optimal Conversations Podcast. Here, we explore effective communication through life changing stories and simple techniques for great conversations.
We discuss what works and what doesn't, so you’re never lost for words again. I'm Mary Wong, founder of Optimal Life Solutions, and over the past 20 years, I've been helping people become better leaders and communicators. Join our podcast for some solo insights and incredible guest conversations and together we'll make communication a breeze.

Ep#20 - Michael Shanahan - living with Corpus Collosum Disorder
Imagine having a scan as a teenager and discovering you are missing a significant part of your brain - the 'superhighway' that connects the left and right sides. That's what Michael experienced. It plays out in his life and in the lives of others with the condition of neurodivergence and often is coupled with mental health issues as well.
In this fascinating discussion, Michael shares his very personal insight into disability, neurodivergence, research, and advocacy regarding CCD.
As he speaks, he models brilliant leadership.
