Produktbeschreibung

"A straightforward and compassionate guide to engaging in more effective conversation."
-Kirkus Reviews

Winner of 11 awards in its first year including: the 2023 PenCraft Best Book Award for Nonfiction, 2023 Nonprofit Authors Association Silver Award, 2023 Readers' Favorite Bronze Medal Award for Business, the 2023 Dan Poynter's Global Ebook Awards Gold Award for Communications, and the 2023 PenCraft Award for Literary Excellence.

Clear communication requires the courage to confront the psychological blocks that hold you back. Learn how to become a more fearless and peerless communicator.

As a lifelong communication coach, Michelle Gladieux has discovered the four sneaky obstacles that can keep you from becoming an effective communicator:

• Hiding-Fear of exposing your supposed weaknesses
• Defining-Putting too much stock into assumptions and being quick to judge
• Rationalizing-Using being realistic to shield yourself from taking chances, engaging in conflict, or doing other scary but potentially rewarding actions
• Settling-Stopping at good enough instead of aiming for something better in your interactions

What all these challenges have in common is they require taking risks-to reveal yourself, to question your beliefs, to take a leap of faith, or to move out of your comfort zone. As a response, each chapter includes a Pro Move, or a best practice, and an exercise designed to help you overcome your fears and become a powerful communicator. Courageous communication requires self-knowledge, practice, and a fierce desire to continually improve; this book is like having an expert coach along with you for every step of the journey.
