Most leadership is conducted through the medium of conversation - whether meetings, presentations or one-to-ones. And yet, short of time, we often rely on a few 'go-to' strategies for the way we approach them. Mostly, this serves us well. And sometimes there's a gap between our intentions and what actually transpires.

This book is for all those who are intrigued by such gaps and want to achieve better outcomes in their leadership conversations. Each chapter describes ideas from the field of dialogue and invites you to reflect on how they play out in practice.

Within these pages you'll discover: How mind, body and spirit influence your impact in your conversations;
How your internal dialogue affects your interactions with others; and
How to be more composed and versatile in your most challenging exchanges.

Taken together, these themes will shed light on the shape and quality of your leadership conversations and inspire you to make changes in your practice. They will support you to involve others in dialogue - germinating systemic change, one conversation at a time.
