We Need to Talk arrives April 15! It's a practical, non-prescriptive guide to navigating and surviving hard conversations at work. Forward by Karen Catlin.
I spent years researching the psychology and neuroscience behind conflict and consulting with experts to create a flexible toolkit that you can tailor to your situation. A few situations this book covers:
- Dealing with lying and gaslighting
- Giving feedback to your boss without fear
- Resolving conflicts on remote teams
- Navigating cultural differences effectively and respectfully
- Responding when you don't have time to prepare
