In my experience there are books that stimulate the mind, there are books that inspire the heart, and there are books that give practical tools for application. However, it is rare when you find a book that captivates the heart, stimulates higher levels of thinking and reflection, and provide practical tools for immediate use. Conversational Intelligence by Judith Glaser is one of those rare books. Her wisdom and insight draws the reader into the “heart” of her message: "To get to the next level of greatness depends on the quality of the culture, which depends on the quality of relationships, which depends on the quality of conversations. Everything happens through conversations." I would highly recommend anyone who is in a leadership role, a teacher, a spouse, and a parent to read and apply Conversational Intelligence to every relationship, encounter, meeting, and training. This book is a conversation, a conversation into transforming relationships and cultures one person at a time.

Many of us in communications have been catching bits and pieces of the breakthrough discoveries in neuroscience. At the top of the list are mirror neurors or those Wi-Fi transmitters among humans. We wonder how mirroring can be hammered into competitive advantages for clients.
Conversational Intelligence takes leadership to a whole new level. For decades we have been taught about the Intelligence Quotient (C-IQ), and more recently Daniel Goleman's book Emotional Intelligence revolutionized the leadership and self-help industry by showing us how relationships matter deeply and how relationship skills are more important than IQ for effective leadership. Goleman called Emotional Intelligence EQ.
