redefining conversations

noun
A Fierce Conversation is one in which we come out from behind
ourselves, into the conversation, and make it real.

The success of the book since its first publication underscored a genuine hunger for conversations which build our world of meaning. Conversations during which we connect on a human level. Speak in a human voice. Our own voice. Conversations during which we touch one another in some way.

Success increasingly hinges on engaging colleagues, customers, friends, and family in conversations that interrogate reality, provoke learning, tackle tough challenges, tap our deepest aspirations, and enrich relationships. Fierce Conversations shows you how with principles, examples, tools, stories, and exercises to take you step-by-step through your first fierce conversation-with yourself-on to the most challenging and important conversations facing you.

Listed on the Wall Street Journal, United Press International and USA TODAY best-seller lists, Fierce Conversations is the master guidebook to transforming the conversations central to your success. The result? You'll experience positive organizational change, greater effectiveness in everyday interactions, a renewed sense of purpose, and a new way of relating to people at work, at home and in every area of your life.

"When the authentic conversations so clearly described in this book catch on everywhere, it will be the end of gossip, corporate politics, bad marriages and 360° feedback. Fierce Conversations is today’s primer for success as well as for survival in our ever-changing world."
