APAC Community Lead, Atlassian
If you’ve ever had a conversation go sideways when you’ve come to the table with an open heart and mind, and felt the goal of the interaction slip away despite your best efforts, then this book is for you.
Emma breaks down how different angles (spoken and unspoken) interplay and either enforce, or undermine your intention in a conversation, allowing for a self-analytical reflection on how we can improve outcomes for ourselves, and those we interact with.
A great, practical resource for anyone looking to hear better, and be heard.
