Great leadership happens one conversation at a time. The toughest of those exchanges can stir strong emotions—yours and theirs—that influence both results and relationships. Communication: Connect Through Conversations shows you how to harness emotional intelligence to keep every dialogue—face‑to‑face, virtual, or phone—on track. Using interactive exercises and real‑world scenarios, you’ll learn to balance heart (acknowledging feelings) with head (driving toward clear business outcomes), so even difficult discussions move forward with trust and clarity.
