How to Have Conversations that Really Change You and Your Business.
Whether in life or business, relationships are important to our success. And relationships are built on our conversations.
If our conversations are not authentic, trusting, safe, have commitment, and accountability, we will not build strong relationships.
The fact is that we often take our conversations for granted. We would like to believe that we are communicating clearly, but our own biases actually keep us from being as productive as we need to be.
So what is the answer? In this episode of A New Direction, Best-selling author Douglas Squirrel (a.k.a. Squirrel) returns to join us to dig into his best-selling book, Agile Conversations.
Get ready because Squirrel is going to help you change conversations that will create more productivity that translates into more profitability.
Douglas Squirrel’s co-authored book “Agile Conversations: Transform Your Conversations, Transform Your Culture” is not difficult to do, but is difficult to commit too.
What do I mean? What Squirrel is asking you to do is actually quite easy, but it is the willingness of the participants involved with the conversation that make this so hard.
Each person must be committed to the process. You must be intentional in your behavior and action. But the results are phenomenal.
The fact is, if any single one of us wants to improve, we have to do things that are uncomfortable. If you want your business or life to improve, then having these conversations in this way take work and effort.
However, we all know the results of hard work and effort…change, productivity, and from a business perspective that leads to profitability.
Agile Conversations is a fantastic book, I have read it twice. And I have to say it has made me more aware of my own conversational shortcomings and where I need to improve both personally and professionally.
Great book, you can but it from Amazon.
