About this book

Communication specialist Michelle Gladieux offers practical guidance for improving how we interact with others. Rather than living with regret about missed conversations or poor listening, this book teaches which communication risks are worth taking while maintaining personal peace. Gladieux identifies four hidden challenges that undermine skillful communication: Hiding (avoiding necessary risks), Defining (prioritizing being right over being approachable), Rationalizing (resisting feedback and difficult conversations), and Settling (accepting mediocre outcomes instead of pursuing better ones). Through real-life stories and practical exercises, the book builds self-awareness and understanding of others across various settings. Gladieux draws on decades of experience coaching people from different backgrounds, presenting her insights in an accessible, conversational style. The book has received eleven literary awards, including recognition from the Independent Author Network, PenCraft Book Awards, Goody Book Awards, Readers' Favorite Awards, Global eBook Awards, and others. It is designed for readers seeking to strengthen work relationships or deepen personal connections.
