Synopsis

The key to success in life and business is to become a master at Conversational Intelligence. It's not about how smart you are, but how open you are to learn new and effective powerful conversational rituals that prime the brain for trust, partnership, and mutual success. Conversational Intelligence translates the wealth of new insights coming out of neuroscience from across the globe, and brings the science down to earth so people can understand and apply it in their everyday lives. Author Judith Glaser presents a framework for knowing what kind of conversations trigger the lower, more primitive brain; and what activates higher-level intelligences such as trust, integrity, empathy, and good judgment. Conversational Intelligence makes complex scientific material simple to understand and apply through a wealth of easy to use tools, examples, conversational rituals, and practices for all levels of an organization.

About this title

From the Back Cover

"In Conversational Intelligence, Judith Glaser takes us on an insightful and in-depth discovery of how trust, the most basic human instinct, creates and fuels the foundation needed to transform cultures and companies. Trust, at its highest level, removes self and enables interactions and conversations to connect teams for higher performance and purpose." -- Angela Ahrendts, CEO of Burberry

"Brilliant! Judith Glaser breaks new ground with Conversational Intelligence. Moving us closer to 'Emotional Intelligence' (EI) and 'Learning Intelligence' (LI) by leveraging the power of 'Conversational Intelligence' (CI), she gives us the profoundly practical tools to integrate emotion, learning, and connected conversations into one seamless, life-changing, and leadership-inspiring process. She is truly the 'Guru of We'!" -- Kevin Cashman, best-selling author ofThe Pause Principle and Leadership from the Inside Out, and senior partner of CEO & Executive Development, Korn/Ferry International

"Conversational Intelligence is a tour de force spanning new frontiers of research and practice in organizational change. Glaser reminds us that great leadership derives from powerful social exchange and collective solutions that are intricately woven. Intelligence in a digital age is a new admixture: simultaneously crowd-sourced and deeply personal." -- Michael Levine, PhD, executive director of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and co-author of Pioneering Literacy in the Digital Wild West

"In her new book, Judith Glaser builds a strong case for how the science and power of conversations can markedly improve business success for both individuals and entire companies. Her approach is both practical and profound: through trust building and level-setting the right conversations, leaders can activate higher engagement, deeper commitment, and transformational results with employees, vendors, and customers. A must-read!" -- Ed Gilligan, president of American Express
