Conversational Intelligence

A clear, succinct book on the way our brain is wired for communicating based on fear and trust and how we can recognise these patterns and choose the right communication method for each situation. The book is well written and is based on the latest research from neuroscience, which links what is happening in our brains to what we experience in our reality. During my time reading the book, I gained many insights into my own behaviour patterns and communication patterns depending on my mental state and was able to recognise when I was in a fear state, which then gave me the space to be elevated into a trust state where a more productive conversation could take place. Thank-you Judith, your book has helped me immensely.

I can’t think of any skill more important than communication to becoming a great leader or just a happy individual. Judith Glaser writes brilliantly about how our brains are triggered if we feel threatened, scared or on the other hand, we feel trust and security. She shows how we have our own world view of what’s right based on our own history and relationships. Combine that with the pressure of more responsibility, less time and you can see what happens when shortcuts are taken in communication and relationships based on bias. We can steamroll and force our worldview. We can flee or avoid, especially if we feel someone is a danger to our career or whatever we hold dear. Her explanation of how the brain works provides a great framework for understanding these motivations. But, what I found most intriguing and helpful, are her recommendations on how to elevate through questioning, understanding and other means to empathize and rebuild trust, the foundation of any great relationship. I highly recommend her book. Full disclosure: I’ve known of Judith’s work through her regular blogs on SuccessTelevision(dot)biz. I know you’ll enjoy her writing and stories, but this book also makes for a great reference if you’re training effective communication and leadership skills. And, while I first picked it up for that reason, I found it equally important for personal communication skills. Bravo, Judith, on your contribution to making us all a bit wiser and helping us to obtain one of the most important skills for improving human relationships.
