Every one of us faces the need to speak up in difficult situations at some time. We may not like doing it, but not speaking up usually makes matters worse. So how do you communicate to your partner that something they do drives you mad, without it ending in a row How do you correct or criticise a colleague without generating repercussions that you'll regret How do you tell someone clearly of a decision that you know will cause disappointment or provoke strong disagreement How do you handle conflict
Anne Dickson tells you how. She describes a range of difficult conversations that frequently occur in intimate, social and work situations, and reveals simple but powerful techniques that will help you to transform the situation.Anne Dickson is a psychologist, writer and trainer with many years' experience of teaching communication skills and management of emotions. She is the author of several books, including A Voices for Now (0749923938).
