New PN: The Next Conversation

“To get you there, I’ve broken it down into two parts.

Part one tells you how to first connect with yourself. That sounds woo-woo, I know. But it’s not. It’s about where to go in your mind when conflict appears, and most important, how to leverage the mindset for better outcomes.

Part two teaches you how to use that leverage to connect with other people. How you connect looks different based on context, whether it’s working through a difficult conversation or needing to stand up for yourself. Whatever context you find yourself in, I’ve created three rules that will build the connection for you:
Say it with control.
Say it with confidence.
Say it to connect.

Behind each rule are proven tactics you can use immediately. Throughout this book, I’ll show you what confident communication looks, sounds, and feels like. You’ll learn from real-life stories from my personal and professional experiences. You’ll also see yourself in hypothetical conversations that hit close to home. You’ll learn what to say and what not to say, and of course, how to say it.

After reading the pages ahead, you’re going to be able to remove the difficult from difficult conversations, making space for more real in your life. Real friendships, real connection, and real growth. And I don’t just mean at home or in relationships. You’ll find the real you starting to show up at work and in meetings. You’ll respond to texts and emails differently. People will know where you stand. You’ll watch your confidence turn into credibility—and that, I can’t wait to see.”
