Synopsis

Discover how to change the lives of the people around you

In You Can Change Other People, the world's #1 executive coach, Peter Bregman, and Howie Jacobson, PhD, share the Four Steps to help the people around you make positive change—even if they've been stuck for years.

The authors rely on over fifty years of collective professional experience to show you exactly what to say to influence those around you for the better. Changing the way you talk will stop you from being perceived as a critic, and turn you into a welcomed and effective ally. You'll learn how to:

● Disarm their defensiveness and increase their confidence to act

● Turn people's biggest problems into even bigger opportunities

● Ensure accountability and follow through without making them dependent on you

No one wants to be changed; but change and personal growth are critical to success, and more importantly, to a fulfilled life. You Can Change Other People is a must-listen for those who want to improve their impact with coworkers, family members, and everyone in between.

I’ve been looking for a book like this for a while it magically appeared. The big aha (spoiler alert) is the subtle difference around change - the pivotal point being when they are ready / want to change. This small but key point would change the entire dynamic and I am so grateful for the authors to......more
