Have you walked away from a meeting thinking—So what do you want me to do exactly? Have you been in a conflict and felt—But that’s not what I meant! Many feel a disconnect between talk and action. However, no action has ever happened outside a powerful conversation.

Talk Action provides the conversational framework to create productive, meaningful engagement in teams. This book will help you burst the myths around all talk and no action, find your ‘talk comfort zone’ looking into the talk kaleidoscope, rewire your talk to end in action and use the five-part framework to resolve conflicts, influence career growth and build high-performing teams.
