What to expect
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.
