<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Improve your relationships with your boss, peers and teammates, and ensure your voice is heard by engaging in difficult conversations with confidence, clarity, compassion, curiosity, compromise, credibility and courage.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Are you avoiding an uncomfortable conversation at work? If you're an executive or a team leader, strengthening your organization's ability to have difficult conversations is necessary and worth the discomfort.</b> <p/>The key to successful dialogue starts and ends with changing the conversation. Recognizing that it takes two people to engage in meaningful outcomes, <b><i>Can We Talk?</i></b> outlines what each contributor needs to do to achieve the best possible result. Using examples from everyday work situations, this book offers guidance on how to create the right conditions for a meaningful discussion. The author identifies the seven key principles that enable both parties to gain a deeper understanding of what the other person may be thinking and will help establish their point of view more clearly: confidence, clarity, compassion, curiosity, compromise, credibility, courage. <p/><b><i>Can We Talk?</i></b> includes examples and advice from those who have been there and thrived, as well as lessons learned from conversation failures and example scripts of productive conversations. Readers will learn how to prepare, start and manage the potentially challenging exchange of words that typically occur at work, and come away with an understanding that for any conversation to take place, both parties must be engaged.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Who doesn't cringe when they hear the words, <i><b>Can We Talk?</b></i> And yet the truth is, those conversations we'd prefer to avoid are essential.
