``Can We All Just Get Along?`` - Rodney King: Courageous Communication: A Return to Civility

In a world transformed by a pandemic, the rise of authoritarianism, and the relentless influence of social media, how do we navigate the growing divide in our society? As a leadership consultant with over four decades of experience, I offer a unique perspective in “Can we all just get along?” Rodney King – Courageous Communication: A Return to Civility, a compelling guide to understanding and fostering civil discourse in these turbulent times.

With extensive survey data from over 2,250 participants worldwide, I challenge common assumptions about our willingness to engage with opposing viewpoints and reveal a surprising level of acceptance and understanding among people with differing worldviews.

This easy-to-read book provides practical insights and strategies for improving our interactions and building a more civil society. From the unexpected survey results to the wisdom of public figures like Groucho Marx and Rodney King, “Bridging the Divide” is a timely and hopeful guide for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life.

Join me on a journey toward more meaningful conversations and a more hopeful future. Can we all just get along? “Bridging the Divide” shows us how.

Consequential Communication in Turbulent Times: A Practical Guide to Leadership

Consequential Communication in Turbulent Times: A Practical Guide to Leadership, is Diana’s first book in a series of easy-to-implement guides for organizational leaders. This foundational book focuses on the importance of clearly communicating one’s intentions, and ensuring that he or she is understood.

In response to client needs, the guide captures 15 essential concepts that Diana has developed through her tailor-made training. The stand-alone concepts have dedicated chapters, while aligned concepts appear together in other chapters. Following the principle that good communicators “Tell you what they are going to say; say it; and then tell you what they just said,” each chapter sets out a principle, the “how to’s” for implementation, case studies – real-life communications situations that worked, and those that didn’t work – and then concludes the discussion with tips. The book’s last chapter is a reiteration of all of the tips presented, making it an easy reference tool, and reminding the reader which chapter to review for a more in-depth discussion.

Among others, chapter headings include: The Platinum Rule of Communication; Make it Easy for Them to Say Yes; “I” Statements and Acts and Facts; Listening, Asking and Telling; Workplace Communication in the Era of Technology; and, The Powers of Apology and Humility in the Workplace.
