The mix of sarcasm, boundaries, and office reality made this a fun listen for me.

Help with at work talking

i was looking for some help at work and i was hoping by listening i would get a few tips to help talking to others at work. Well i got a lot more than just a hello how are you. this audio which is so easy to listen to, had the tips to help fill up my notebook. the 1st thing i took was how to organize your own thoughts so you can then understand others so then we can communicate in a way so we both can understand. i used to think the boss is always right and its his way or the highway. however by using the ideas in this book you can be able to share your ideas in a way that is helpful to the team and not only one persons idea. as far a conflict the ideas shared here go into not just meeting but in the break room or on the factory floor how to work together and be in a welcoming enviroment rather a tension fill work place. to my surprise also was the tips for people givng feedback or pushback to us and not end up feeling rejected. which i almost always feel. this book has helped me the next time, so i dont feel so rejected. a great listen for anyone like me that has tension at work or even a neighbor.
