Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges

Life becomes less complicated as we grow as communicators. There’s often more we can do to improve our interactions than we realize.

We don’t have to live with regret about what we could have said or how we should have listened. This timely, timeless bravery manual teaches which risks to take and how to engage in ways that don’t cost us our personal peace.

Communication specialist Michelle Gladieux’s tips read like a heartfelt conversation with a trusted friend—one who happens to have decades of experience coaching people from all walks of life. When we fall into sneaky, fear-based patterns, we’re robbed of the joy of communicating skillfully and confidently. Readers of Communicate with Courage learn how to overcome four hidden challenges: Hiding • : Avoiding risks we need to take to realize our potential Defining • : Needing to be right rather than approachable and open Rationalizing • : Shielding ourselves from honest feedback, conflict, apologizing, asking for help, negotiating, and other scary but potentially rewarding Pro Moves Settling • : Accepting "good enough" instead of stretching toward better outcomes Through riveting real-life stories and practical exercises, Gladieux’s compassionate guidance builds self- and other-awareness in a wide variety of settings.
