Will I love Supercommunicators?

I recently listened to Charles’ interview on NPR, which I tune into daily during my commutes. After hearing him speak, I became curious and wondered, “Who is this Super Communicator?” I looked up his book, "Supercommunicators," and after reading the synopsis, I decided to invest my hard-earned money in it. I’m glad I did—it has been the best investment in a book I’ve made.

As a school counselor, I thought I knew how to communicate effectively, but this book made me realize that I've only scratched the surface. During my graduate studies, I learned very little about listening skills… show more.

Few people may be born super communicators — but we can all become better at having meaningful and productive conversations. This book offers invaluable guidance.

One of the key points I take from it is the importance of recognizing the kind of conversation you’re having. Are you talking about what’s going on? Or is it a conversation about emotions, or identity? Mismatches here undoubtedly lead to many of life’s frustrations.

The book has inspired me to recognize and inhabit different kinds of conversations.
