- 'LE POUVOIR DES MOTS - OSEZ LES CONVERSATIONS' (The power of words - Dare conversations) by Guillaume VILLEMOT with preface from writer Alexandre JARDIN (Eyrolles Editions)

Our success in life is dictated by the quality of relationships we can engender. Some people seem better at negotiating better quality outcomes than others do. They are able to hold deeper, more honest conversations that create a new level of bonding and are able to transform people, situations and relationships.
By being prepared to hold these conversations they ensure clarity over responsibility, define expectations and hence maintain high levels of performance. When we let these conversations go by, we let standards slip and unwittingly give permission for unwanted behaviour to continue.... The Author goes through the modern tools used to communicate such as Facebbok, Twitter... to advocate for direct and reasonable conversations. Crucial conversations lie all around, we should be able to build on engaging conversations, having better quality conversations with people, specifically focused on empowering others.
