Fortunately, you can learn the rules, tools and strategies for improving self-talk, group talk and corporate dialogues.  In this useful text, conversation coach Daniel Stillman provides an excellent blueprint for building meaningful conversations, and offers a strong case for honesty, awareness and courage.
