Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges

Published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers | Distributed by Penguin Random House

Raising your game as a communicator is one of the best ways to make a difference in the world, but it takes courage to open up to others and invite others to open up to you.

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

  • Hiding—Fear of exposing your supposed weaknesses
  • Defining—Putting too much stock into assumptions and being quick to judge
  • Rationalizing—Finding ways to shield yourself from taking chances, engaging in conflict, or doing other scary but potentially rewarding actions
  • Settling—Stopping at “good enough” instead of striving toward better interactions

The four challenges require taking risks—to reveal yourself, question your beliefs, take a leap of faith, or move out of your comfort zone. Each chapter includes a real-world practice called a Pro Move and an exercise carefully crafted to help you take more joy in communicating.

Courageous communication requires self-knowledge, practice, and a desire to improve. It’s a full-body, full-mind, and full-heart effort. This book is like having a caring, expert coach along with you for every step of the journey.
