Synopsis

Provides a proven series of skills and techniques that anyone can use to make their relationships thrive

Healthy communication is essential in any professional or personal relationship. When the lines of communication are frayed or broken, the resulting drama, unnecessary conflict, and inefficiency often lead to 'dropping the ball'. Better communication yields better results. It's a no-brainer―honest conversations build deeper, more productive relationships. It may seem simple in theory, but healthy communication is one of the most challenging things to master in practice.

The Communication Code helps you set up conversations and communication in a way that creates a win-win scenario for everyone involved. In this real-world guide, bestselling authors and international speakers Jeremie Kubicek and Steve Cockram share their simple but powerful strategies for boosting your emotional intelligence and elevating your interpersonal communication skills. Step by step, you will learn to integrate Care, Celebration, Collaboration, Critique, and Clarification into your communication toolbox. Using one of these 5 Cs, you can verbally ask someone to respond in the way that you most want, and as a result, facilitate a successful interaction.

Written by the team that brought you The 100X Leader, The 5 Voices, and The 5 Gears, this must-have book will help you:

• Connect and communicate effectively with your team, your family, and your friends
• Define the parameters of a conversation from the outset to avoid any misunderstandings

From the Inside Flap

HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU finished a conversation that didn't go well and wondered exactly how you got from the well-intentioned beginning to the acrimonious end? How many problems in your life arise from difficulties inherent in unclear and poor communication, whether with employees, bosses, family, or friends?

In The Communication Code: Unlock Every Relationship, One Conversation at a Time, a team of bestselling authors and international speakers delivers an incisive guide to rebuilding relationships with productive and relevant tools. In the book, you'll find powerful strategies for boosting your emotional intelligence and elevating your relational skills.

The authors introduce the "5 C's" of expanding your communication toolbox: care, celebration, collaboration, critique, and clarification. They show how to explicitly prompt someone to respond in a productive and meaningful way, fostering successful and fruitful interactions. Building on insights from their previous works, including The 100X Leader, The 5 Voices, and The 5 Gears, they provide guidance on connecting and communicating effectively with teams, family, and friends.

The Communication Code delineates how to set the parameters of a conversation from the outset, preventing misunderstandings and miscommunication, and highlights recognizing the power dynamics of interactions to help.
