In today’s polarized world, more people struggle to fully understand and respect one another as individuals. As a result, many lose sight of the importance of building relationships and being curious and listening to others. Join Fortune 500 leadership coaches and authors, Jennifer Edwards and Katie McCleary, to use the social psychology of human connection and curiosity to drive meaningful communication and collaboration at work and at home.

Jennifer and Katie believe that how you show up—from your energy and presence to your listening and language—shapes key interactions and outcomes. You can learn how to communicate clearly with a wide range of people at any level or from any background, navigating any emotion or situation. The authors illustrate how these skills can set the stage for more rewarding relationships and results.

Their new book, BRIDGE THE GAP: Breakthrough Communication Tools to Transform Work Relationships from Challenging to Collaborative, will be released this month and is available for purchase if you want to come prepared!
