Publisher's summary

Clear communication requires the courage to confront the psychological blocks that are holding you back. Learn how to become a fearless and peerless communicator.

As a lifelong communication coach, Michelle Gladieux has discovered the four sneaky obstacles that can keep you from becoming an effective communicator:

  • Hiding—Fearing your low self-confidence will expose your supposed weaknesses
  • Defining—Putting too much stock into your assumptions and being quick to judge right and wrong
  • Rationalizing—Using “being realistic” to shield yourself from taking chances, engaging in conflict, or doing other scary but potentially rewarding actions
  • Settling—Stopping at “good enough” instead of pushing for something better

What all these challenges have in common is they require taking risks—to reveal yourself, to question your beliefs, to take a leap of faith, or to move out of your comfort zone. As a response, each chapter includes a Pro Move, or a best practice, and an exercise designed to help you overcome your fears and become a powerful communicator. Courageous communication requires self-knowledge, practice, and a fierce desire to continually improve; this book is like having an expert coach along with you for every step of the journey.

Good concepts if you’re just beginning your journey

It was a short read which I liked, concepts are simple and easy to follow. I didn’t get the most out of this because I’ve already been working on my communication and know a lot of these. But if you’re starting out, I think this would be a great place to start!

Like having your own personal coach!

Michelle unloads a lifetime of wisdom in this book. The vulnerability that she models throughout this book, underscores the central theme. It takes courage to be vulnerable and take the risks to truly communicate. There is no fluff or filler in this book, just solid information and “Pro Moves” to get you started in a new direction. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their life through better communication.

Perfectly applies to my life.

I’ve enjoyed listening to Michelle’s book more than a couple times. I Love that I can listen during my commute most mornings to start my day off right. I also listen anytime I need to reset my mind. Thank you for all of the knowledge you have shared, You have helped me personally and professionally.
Cheers, Blaine

Loved it being read by Michelle!

I had Michelle on my podcast and read the book in preparation. Clear and concise and practical. Loved that Michelle Gladieux did the narration. This is the perfect book if you want to improve communication at work AND at home!
