“I WAS
Gripped from Page One!
This book is packed full of examples and lightbulb moments that resonate with everyday challenges in business and the workplace.
Nicole illustrates how easy it is to get it wrong and offers an abundance of tools to get it right.
Her writing style is conversational and so easy to assimilate as she shares insights that seem obvious but so definitely are not for those who have limited experience in managing people.
I really enjoyed the helpful way she organises the book into problems, her analysis of them, followed by sensible solutions allowing the reader to dip in and out.
In my view, everyone can draw some golden nuggets and learn to navigate communication better. The easily digestible acronyms, tools and techniques also have a wider application for almost any difficult conversation beyond the workplace.
I believe all organisations could improve the way in which they manage their people. This book is an invaluable guide to support them to do so. It can only be a win/win to provide their leaders with a copy of it!
A very helpful and unmissable guide for any leader or business owner!"
