WARNING: Communication disaster ahead!

Misunderstandings, crossed wires, mismatched agendas, conversational detours, dead ends, and pileups . . .
How can we communicate more effectively?
More masterfully?

The Fifth Wave examines interpersonal communication as a “system of systems” that build from within to the world at large.

As readers take this journey from the micro to the macro, they discover how—like dropping a pebble into a lake—the smallest positive action can effect powerful changes in their own lives and in the world.

In addition to time-tested strategies for improving communication, The Fifth Wave offers the following:

• Principles of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) that can dramatically boost clarity
• Candid interviews with men and women who volunteered to share their communication disasters and successes
• Discussion questions and exercises in each chapter
• 365 Skill Builders—“Nutshell” meditations, one for each day of the year, that help to deepen the skills
