Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges
Berrett-Koehler Publishers Inc.
From the publisher's website:
Raising your game as a communicator is one of the best ways to make a difference in the world, but it takes heart and courage to open up to others and invite them to open up to you. As a lifelong communication coach, Michelle Gladieux has discovered four sneaky obstacles that can keep you from becoming the best communicator you can be:
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
This book teaches us how to overcome mindsets that sabotage our efforts to earn respect and connect. Each chapter includes a real-world practice called a Pro Move and an exercise carefully crafted to help you overcome hang-ups and find more joy in communicating. Great communication is a full-body, full-mind, and full-heart effort. This book offers you and those you'll share it with motivation to grow as people and communicators.
