A mission-critical project is spinning out of control. Failure will
mean lost customers, lost revenues, lost prestige for a venerable
financial institution and - no doubt - lost jobs. Can anyone or
anything save it? When Paul Hunchak is invited to take on the task
of bringing Project Delta back on track, the first thing he does is
update his r sum . Saying no to the quirky CEO would be a career
limiting move. Saying yes looked just as bad. A not-so-chance
encounter with a neighbourhood barista induces him to take a
chance, take the assignment and take on the real problems with the
project and the organization.
"Talk To Me: Workplace Conversations That Work" follows the
adventures of a reluctant hero as he strives to make sense of the
nonsense. Join Paul as he discovers how the way we talk affects the
way we work. You'll learn breakthrough techniques to end the habits
that lead to miscommunication and misunderstanding.
Part novel, part how-to manual, "Talk To Me" weaves practical
lessons around a story of one man's experiment in helping his team
to use the most powerful business tool we will ever have -
conversation. The book examines ideas emerging from such studies as
positive psychology, social and emotional intelligence,
neuroscience, and coaching.
What others are saying:
"Sue Johnston has turned the explication of effective workplace
communication strategies into a page-turning narrative that I
couldn't put down. Both practical and passionate, this is a story
that will make you think about the power of self-awareness,
listening, learning and being positive - the cornerstones of
communications that deliver business - and personal - results. A
must-read whether you work in a corporate environment or the local
caf ." - Debbie Weil, CEO of Voxie Media and author of "The
Corporate Blogging Book."
"Sue Johnston has done a masterful job with her book, "Talk to Me:
Workplace Conversations that Work." Using an engaging story that
runs throughout the book, Sue shows us how conversations are
business tools, and essential ingredients to success within an
organization. Of particular usefulness are the notes at the end of
each chapter, with questions and activities for reinforcing what
we've learned as we progress through the book. All of us can do a
better job of communicating at home, at work, with friends and
family and in our volunteer roles. Talk to Me can help " - Donna
Papacosta, Trafalgar Communications.
"In her new book, Sue Johnston captures a key area that is
critical to business and often missed by leaders. At a time when we
are experiencing a massive leadership crisis in organizations and
everyone is feeling overwhelmed by social tools, this book is a
gift to help us get back to basics. Two way-conversations are key
to implementing strategy and reaching goals. It's not about the
"meeting in a box" or "frequently asked questions." Sue helps us
understand that what we need most is to make sure that employees
have the information they need to be effective in their jobs. A
definite must read for every manager with helpful tips that you can
use right away." - Ayelet Baron, VP, Strategy and Transformation,
Cisco Canada
