The Art of Asking: Communication Lessons With Dave Matthews

One of my yoga teachers is a huge Dave Matthews Band fan. One year, her husband got her front-row tickets to see DMB. Being the wise yogi she is, she spent an afternoon creating a bright, glittery sign that read, “May I meet you, Dave?” As Dave came onto the stage to introduce the opening band, she held up her sign with proud arms, put a bold smile on her face, and communicated her request. …
