A great book that has helped me in my role in work and all the Diversity and Inclusion team to feel more confident in addressing important conversations that need to happen.

Kwame guides us through biases, levels of communication, his Compassionate Curiosity framework, and specific scenarios by giving us specific steps, impactful stories, and enough information for us to be confident in our actions.

Many thanks to NetGalley and BenBella Books for this title.

This book takes on a subject that many try their best to avoid…but that is not always possible or the best course of action. The author is Kwame Christian. He founded the American Negotiation Institute so he seems well qualified and credentialed to be a reader’s guide.

This is truly a helpful book. It is practical and filled with ideas. Credos to the author for making something that can feel difficult seem doable, essential and worthwhile. Note that while this title takes a perspective on work place conversation, I think that it can be applied more broadly.

Many thanks to NetGalley and BenBella Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is such a difficult thing to face however having these conversations about race or any other difficult topic is so important. There is a way to have these kinds of conversations because a lot of learning and awareness will take place and getting to the other side of these conversations can be so rewarding. This is a must read and I highly recommend it. Thanks to the publisher and NetGally for the opportunity to read this book and provide my unbiased opinion.
