Author Description

A revolutionary way to move beyond biases and blind spots to build deeper rapport between friends, lovers, relatives, and colleagues, from the expert author team behind Collaborative Intelligence We all know what it feels like to be at odds with someone we care about. Sometimes it seems like we speak different languages! As learning and perception experts Dawna Markova, Ph.D., and Angie McArthur explain, that idea isn’t far off the mark; communication style is at the heart of many of our relationship clashes. Applying Markova and McArthur’s ingenious and long-tested mind patterns and thinking talents techniques, this invaluable resource will help readers identify their relational “type”—the innate pattern of speaking, understanding, trusting, and learning that informs their reactions—and grow their relational intelligence through resonant storytelling, revealing dialogue analysis, and profound yet simple advice. *from the publisher*
