Communicate with Courage

Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges

About this book

Life becomes less complicated as we grow as communicators. There's often more we can do to improve our interactions than we realize.
We don't have to live with regret about what we could have said or how we should have listened. This timely, timeless bravery manual teaches which risks to take and how to engage in ways that don't cost us our personal peace.
Communication specialist Michelle Gladieux's tips read like a heartfelt conversation with a trusted friend—one who happens to have decades of experience coaching people from all walks of life. When we fall into sneaky, fear-based patterns, we're robbed of the joy of communicating skillfully and confidently. Readers of  Communicate with Courage learn how to overcome four hidden challenges:
  • Hiding: Avoiding risks we need to take to realize our potential
  • Defining: Needing to be right rather than approachable and open
  • Rationalizing: Shielding ourselves from honest feedback, conflict, apologizing, asking for help, negotiating, and other scary but potentially rewarding Pro Moves
  • Settling: Accepting "good enough" instead of stretching toward better outcomes
Through riveting real-life stories and practical exercises, Gladieux's compassionate guidance builds self- and other-awareness in a wide variety of settings. This transformative approach has garnered national acclaim, earning the book  eleven literary awards, including the following:
  • Best Book Nonfiction, Outstanding Education – Independent Author Network
  • Nonfiction 1st Place and Best Book Nonfiction – PenCraft Book Awards
  • Nonfiction in Leadership/Think Differently Winner – Goody Book Awards
  • Bronze Nonfiction Award – Readers' Favorite Awards
  • Communications Nonfiction Gold Prize – Global eBook Awards
  • Nonfiction Book of the Year, Grand Prize – Independent Author Network
Whether you aim to improve work relationships or experience deeper personal connections,  Communicate with Courage offers tools to make interactions easier and more enjoyable.
" Communicate with Courage is life-changing. Gladieux's extraordinary empathy shines through with relatable examples from diverse worlds, from music to business to sports. You'll read this book more than once. It will transform your relationship with yourself and other people."  —Dr. Jillian Ihsanullah, leadership researcher
