Crucial Conversation

Deciding which boundaries to set in your life takes careful care and consideration. But it’s not too difficult to sort out. What’s tough are the conversations you have to have when setting boundaries with individuals in your life.

Communicating your thoughts clearly is imperative to the success of your mission to set boundaries and have them respected. You can’t come across as weak, intimidated, or even bullyish and tyrannical.

The book Crucial Conversations by New York Times Bestselling authors Kerry Patterson, Joseph Greeny, Al Switzler and Ron McMillan will help you claim your voice and speak clearly with authority whenever the time comes for you to implement your boundaries.

When you set out to have boundaries in place, you’re saying you want your life to change for the better. These aren’t small issues, but ones that can eliminate stress and contribute to your overall personal satisfaction.

One of the things these authors assist you with is turning potentially explosive conversations into calm discussions. When anger and resentment are present during a talk about boundaries, you’ll know how to diffuse the situation and still get your points across without fail.

Never again will you have to feel worried about initiating a discussion about your boundaries. You’ll be able to persuade the other person — whether it’s a boss, coworker, friend, family member or stranger — to hear your side of the argument and change their behavior.

You won’t have to keep putting up with poor behavior, simply because you dread the discussion. Now you can take what was once an emotionally charged topic and present it in a method that has you both on the same page, quickly.

This is also beneficial to you whenever someone comes to you needing to discuss your own behavior or boundary issues. You’ll be able to talk without feeling apprehensive about what you really want to say.

It doesn’t remove emotion entirely. The other person will be able to see the careful thought and concern you have. But it does allow each of you to feel safe communicating with each other now and in the future.

After reading this book, you’ll be a better communicator from both sides — able to speak your mind formidably as well as be viewed as a wonderful listener who is unbiased and attentive. 

Whether it’s a small concern or something vital to the direction of your life, Crucial Conversations can be a helpful tool that delivers an abundance of personal satisfaction
