Whether it’s handling a heated conversation, dealing with a difficult personality, or standing your ground with confidence, his down-to-earth teachings have helped countless people navigate life’s toughest situations. Now for the first time, Fisher has distilled his three-part communication system (Say it with control, Say it with confidence, Say it to connect) that can easily be applied to any situation.
You will learn:

Interactive and incredibly thought-provoking
I’ve been in countless situations where I’ve struggled to articulate what I needed to express. Times when not one word came out right, yet everything continued to spill out. This book is for times such as those.
I was challenged to be vulnerable and honest with myself. To look at the areas I struggled in because as I learned, in order to understand others, you first need to understand yourself. I found more confidence with every skill I absorbed. This book made it easy to apply the tools I was learning and relate them to my own scenarios.
The tough conversations don’t feel so intimidating anymore. I’m hearing conversations differently, looking at connections with a deeper understanding.
This is an audiobook I’ll definitely be revisiting again and again. I highly recommend you give it a try!

This book is worth 5 times the price you'll pay
Can't recommend the purchase of this book enough -- especially for women who are not encouraged to speak boldly and be assertive. I bought the book on preorder, have listened to the book twice and taken copious notes and I intend to buy copies for presents as who couldn't stand to be mentored by a 5th generation trial lawyer! . Jefferson Fisher's words have changed my life and this book is definitely a game changer! Thank you Jefferson.
