Porter Square Books, Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 7pm
“Conversation Transformation is an invaluable resource for journalists, professional communicators, and anyone who wants to communicate more effectively. This book is filled with simple tools and fixes to improve communication skills, exactly the skills that can make us all more effective in politics, business, and life.” Senator John F. Kerry
“A devastatingly insightful look at the ways we unwittingly sabotage our conversations, and as a result, our relationships. So spot on you begin to suspect the authors have been eavesdropping on your own most frustrating interactions. Especially when they then pipe up to provide the practical coaching you need to change old habits and transform your conversations. Hard work? Sure. Worth it? You bet.” Sheila Heen and Douglas Stone, best-selling authors of Difficult Conversations

He also provides advanced facilitation training to help organizations resolve conflicts and hold more effective meetings.
