How successful and happy you will be in your career and life
hinges on how effective you are in crucial conversations
where the opinions vary and stakes and emotions run high.
When you’re ineffective, you become exhausted and lose big;
When you’re effective, you win big, because you’ll not only
achieve or exceed the goals you set for yourself,
you will surpass the vast majority of people who aren’t effective.

-Joseph Grenny, co-author Crucial Conversations

I have a real treat in store for you.  On May 20 at 2:00 PM EST you and your team can attend a webinar where I host Joseph Grenny through the Center for Great Management. Joseph will provide a powerpoint presentation that he and his colleagues at VitalSmarts have offered to 300 of the Fortune 500 entitled based on their New York Times best selling book: Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High and entitled: “Get Unstuck! Move your people from dialogue to effective action.” 

I have seen this presentation and I believe it is a guaranteed-to-help-you opportunity that will change the way you communicate with everyone and as he mentioned above will affect how successful and happy you will be in your career and life.

Another great way to increase your chance of becoming successful and happy is to go out and buy my friend Keith Ferrazzi’s brand new book, Who’s Got Your Back? You will discover how to achieve what you never thought possible if you can surround yourself with just three people who care about you, will hold you accountable and who will kick your butt when you need them to.  Check out Keith’s book tour to catch one of his incredible presentations. It’s another way to change your life.

Learn to walk in someone else’s shoes
and you won’t step on their toes (or tick them off),
because you can’t be understanding and frustrated
at the same time.
And if before you’ve meet them,
you can answer, “What’s In It For Them?”
and then have a conversation with them about that,
you’ll never be afraid to confront anyone again.
