The Next Conversation

Jefferson Fisher is a trial lawyer, writer, and speaker who’s helped millions of people get better at communicating in everyday arguments and difficult conversations. This is one of the most practical, immediately useful communication books I’ve ever read. Fisher boils it down to a simple operating system you can run in real time: align with your values, regulate your nervous system before you respond, speak with assertive confidence, and aim for connection, not victory. Big Ideas we explore include Your Values (who are you at your best?), Rule #1 (say it with control), Rule #2 (say it with confidence), Rule #3 (say it to connect), and the 47-Seconds (the essence distilled).
