Publisher's summary
Leaders! Do you have days when you feel like you're communicating with toddlers rather than adults in the workplace?
Are you tired of dealing with sulking, tantrums, personality clashes, and poor performance?
If you are not getting the results you need as a high-performance leader, this audiobook is for you.
In it, you will learn a new approach to communication that will radically improve your leadership effectiveness.
Communication is the king of the so-called "soft" skills that are essential in the modern workplace. Yet most of us have had little or no training in how to communicate effectively, particularly under pressure.
We haven’t been taught the foundations of great communication.
In Soft is the New Hard, communications and soft-skills specialist Leah Mether gives you the complete solution: a step-by-step process that underpins communication and lays the foundations for success.
Mether’s proven strategies will help you:
- defuse conflict
- manage yourself under pressure
- inspire individuals and teams to action
- influence decisions and outcomes
- lead your team through change, restructure or transition
- deliver difficult messages
- communicate clearly in an emergency or crisis
No-one is a perfect communicator, everyone can improve. And with this audiobook, Mether shows you how.

Everyone recognizes leaders with "presence." They stand out for their seemingly innate ability to command attention and inspire commitment. But what is this secret quality they exude, exactly? Executive and CEO coach Kristi Hedges demystifies this elusive trait, revealing that leadership presence is the intersection of outward influencing skills and internal mental conditioning. Using her I-Presence model, the author shows how anyone-regardless of position or personality-can strengthen their impact.

Questioning thousands of parents and educators, Dr. Wayne Dyer learned firsthand what people really want for their children. They don't particularly want their kids to go to fancy schools, acquire riches, or live "the good life". They do want them to have personal integrity and high self-esteem, and to grow up with love and peace in their hearts. Children raised the Wayne Dyer way feel useful and needed. They are inner- rather than outer-directed. They live a stress-free life naturally, without resorting to drugs.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 56
Most people who want to get better—at hitting golf shots, negotiating with clients, delivering presentations, or any other field of endeavor—seek out new information. They read a book, take a class, hire an expert tutor. But as Alan Fine has learned from many years of coaching athletes and businesspeople, this “outside-in” approach often doesn’t produce the results people want. More information becomes a distraction rather than a solution, and high performance remains elusive.

In today’s work environment, the lines between our professional and personal lives are blurred more than ever before. Whatever is happening to us outside of our workplace - whether stressful, painful, or joyful - follows us into work as well. We may think we have to keep these realities under wraps and act as if we “have it all together”. But as Mike Robbins explains, we can work better, lead better, and be more engaged and fulfilled if - instead of trying to hide who we are- we show up fully and authentically.

No Ego is about increasing awareness of just how often individuals are operating out of ego at work, breeding drama and discord rather than innovation and constructive collaboration. It is high time to reinvent leadership thinking. The current work experience is so full of emotional waste that it's seen as a foregone cost in today's business environments. Cy Wakeman teaches straightforward strategies in which this time and energy can be re-commissioned and put toward the value that hired talent is intended to provide.
