About this listen
The New York Times best seller!
Learn how to keep your cool and get the results you want when emotions flare.
When stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong, you have three choices: avoid a crucial conversation and suffer the consequences; handle the conversation badly and suffer the consequences; or check out Crucial Conversations and discover how to communicate best when it matters most. Crucial Conversations gives you the tools you need to step up to life's most difficult and important conversations, say what's on your mind, and achieve the positive resolutions you want. You'll learn how to:
- Prepare for high-impact situations with a six-minute mastery technique
- Make it safe to talk about almost anything
- Be persuasive, not abrasive
- Keep listening when others blow up or clam up
- Turn crucial conversations into the action and results you want
Whether they take place at work or at home, with your neighbors or your spouse, crucial conversations can have a profound impact on your career, your happiness, and your future. With the skills you learn in this book, you'll never have to worry about the outcome of a crucial conversation again.

Story
Nowadays everybody is talking about positioning. Positioning is the most important aspect in business. And they are right. On the other hand, most of those people just talk about the expert in the niche. But that's only one possibility to position yourself. There are many other ways for positioning in order to reach a wider target group. Especially in view of automation in the internet, there is a whole new range of possibilities out there. And if you don't take advantage of them, you'll never be able to grow in the internet.
