About I Hear You
Difficult boss? Demanding client? Insufferable colleague? Unmanageable subordinate? Any person with whom you struggle to communicate? You can’t fire your boss. You can’t drop an important client. You can’t refuse to work with a colleague, or subordinate.
I Hear You will help individuals and companies when they’re stuck in situations they don’t know how to fix.
You need to make things work,
but you feel stuck.
I Hear You combines intellectual rigor and nuance with extreme practicality. I Hear You will appeal to business professionals and executives who want tools that they can apply immediately, and that will generate results quickly. Author Donny Ebenstein has had tremendous success using these concepts and tools with multiple clients from the business and nonprofit sectors: finance, retail, agriculture, technology, legal, banking, consulting, and more.
The secret to getting unstuck is not simply saying different words — it is learning to think differently.
It takes effort, time and energy. Using the methods in this book, readers will be able to shift their attitude and think differently. By stepping outside their own point of view and learning to see things from the client’s perspective, readers will learn how to communicate empathy without losing ground. In the end, they will say “I hear you.”
The process is not easy,
but the payoff is enormous.
- Your ability to communicate will be greatly improved.
- Your toughest situations will become more manageable.
- Not only will you gain skills for resolving conflict, but using this method will help you avoid conflict in the first place.
These skills can be applied in any context in which you need to interact and work together with others – with colleagues, managers, direct reports, clients, neighbors, family members and more.
