Book description
Provides a proven series of skills and techniques that anyone can use to make their relationships thrive
Healthy communication is essential in any professional or personal relationship. When the lines of communication are frayed or broken, the resulting drama, unnecessary conflict, and inefficiency often lead to 'dropping the ball'. Better communication yields better results. It's a no-brainer—honest conversations build deeper, more productive relationships. It may seem simple in theory, but healthy communication is one of the most challenging things to master in practice.
The Communication Code helps you set up conversations and communication in a way that creates a win-win scenario for everyone involved. In this real-world guide, bestselling authors and international speakers Jeremie Kubicek and Steve Cockram share their simple but powerful strategies for boosting your emotional intelligence and elevating your interpersonal communication skills. Step by step, you will learn to integrate Care, Celebration, Collaboration, Critique, and Clarification into your communication toolbox. Using one of these 5 Cs, you can verbally ask someone to respond in the way that you most want, and as a result, facilitate a successful interaction.
Written by the team that brought you The 100X Leader, The 5 Voices, and The 5 Gears, this must-have book will help you:
- Connect and communicate effectively with your team, your family, and your friends
- Define the parameters of a conversation from the outset to avoid any misunderstandings
- Understand the power dynamics of an interaction to eliminate the fear of honest conversation
- Offer constructive criticism without offending or disappointing the person on the other side
- Maximize your situational awareness and collaborate like a pro
- Prevent communication attacks and restore healthy communication flow
