Another slightly unfortunate title - "fierce" means robust, courageous, meaningful. It's about having those conversations many of us put off
A communications guide for "achieving success one conversation at a time"
For people who are considering their communication styles and wondering if there's a better way
Title:
You Just Don't Understand
Author:
Deborah Tannen
In my opinion a better ()deeper, more rigorous) book than "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" but with the same intent
For people who want to explore the gender gaps in communication and want academic rigour behind the conclusions and recommendations
Title:

Arthur Ciaramicoli & Katherine Ketcham
An excellent guide to this elusive skill - empathy

I've had great feedback from this book

Title:
Non-violent Communication
Author:
Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D
Another challenging title. NVC is about communicating in an effective way where everyone feels heard and where feelings and needs are an essential part of the process
A great introduction to the field - well written and full of examples of his amazing work. I was trained by Jo McHale, if you'd like to know mre contact her at jo@touchstones.co.uk
Although I've had great feedback from this book, it only really seems to come alive for people on the courses and conferences
For people who want to find connectinos with their colleagues, spouses or children
