Publisher's Summary

Finding ways to express yourself effectively in tense situations, from negotiations with a potential client to thorny discussions with a colleague, is the key to career success. In this workshop, communications expert Phil Jones shares how three key traits - curiosity, empathy, and courage - have the power to transform any encounter into a meaningful conversation and getting what you want. 

You'll explore excerpts from three surprising titles that forever changed how Phil approaches complex conversations - and meet a precocious, telekinetic young heroine; a master of asking the right questions; and a leader who takes off their armor, embraces vulnerability, and leads with courage. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Meet in Person: Face-to-face interactions give you surprising insight and power 
  • Turn Your Vulnerability into a Strength: Tips for staying open and creating new opportunities
  • Flex Your Empathy Muscles: Simple practices to help you feel across the aisle and disarm the situation
  • Find Win-Wins: How curiosity and “micro-asks” help you get what you want

Basically a book review

There are a few quick idea tips in here, but it's basically a book review. Spend your next credit on Phil's "How to Persuade..." workshop recording instead.

Disappointing & useless

I found this to be a fairly useless pitch for other authors' books and lacking in application. Weird! I'm glad that it was included in my membership & therefore I didn't have to pay for it!

Don’t know what I expected

It’s good little review of the three books the author likes and why also with why he thinks having tough conversations is important. Meh, wish I could get my half hour back.
