Crafting Connection: Transform How You Communicate with Yourself and Others - Paperback

by Felicity Dwyer (Author)

Being able to connect deeply with other people will help you succeed and flourish at work and enhance your career or business development.

And more than this, meaningful connection with other people is what gives most of us true joy and a sense of purpose in our personal lives.

But connecting and communicating isn't always easy. Perhaps we're fearful of being judged or rejected, or we lack the confidence to speak out in a group, or to approach what we believe will be a difficult conversation.

In this thought-provoking and practical book, you'll discover how connecting with yourself gives you a foundation for better relationships with others. You'll find ideas that you can apply to one-to-one conversations, to group interactions such as networking meetings, teamworking and leadership, and in family and social settings.

As you progress through three dimensions of connection, you'll build skills and confidence in relating to yourself and others.
