The Elevated Communicator

How to Master Your Style and Strengthen Well-Being at Work

By: Maryanne O'Brien

Narrated by: Lameece Issaq

Discover your communication style and elevate consciousness at work to build trust, strengthen collaboration, relieve stress, and improve well-being.

Our work lives revolve around effective communication. It is essential for cultivating trust and team collaboration, as well as strengthening our motivation and well-being at work. And with teams experiencing more anxiety, stress, and burnout than ever before, strong communication skills have never been more essential.

The key to this clear and effective communication begins with understanding our own personal communication styles. Bringing our whole and authentic selves to work improves relationships and teamwork. The better we know what drives us, how we impact others, and how our wellbeing impacts our communication, the faster we can close communication gaps to build healthy, successful, and satisfying work lives and more intentional careers.

Drawing on more than a decade of original research on communication tendencies and proven mindfulness and habit-formation techniques, Maryanne O’Brien has developed a proprietary model of communication styles: Expressive, Reserved, Direct, or Harmonious.

In The Elevated Communicator, you will find:
-A self-assessment to discover your style
-An in-depth style profile to strengthen self-awareness and help you play to your strengths
-Strategies to manage your communication style under stress
-Practices to improve your wellbeing and reduce conflict
-Ways to care for your communication style and improve your wellbeing
-Methods to flex toward other styles to communicate more effectively with people
-Advice on building healthy, trusted, and productive working relationships

Perfect for fans of StrengthsFinders 2.0 and Gretchen Rubin’s The Four Tendencies, The Elevated Communicator is a “refreshing, insightful, and user-friendly” (Tara Peyerl, executive coach and success director, Salesforce) approach to develop daily practices to spiral up, raise consciousness, inspire accountability, and discover your full potential at work.

relatable and digestible

The approach to this book made the concept very easy to digest. even if the topic has been discussed a million times, there are excellent explanations that make the information really stick with you. I'll be coming back to this again and again to relisten and refresh my skills.

Eye opening!!!!

Great book. Great guide. Great content. Read this twice and took notes. Take the quiz before reading this book. Know your communication style first.

Hokey and Unoriginal

I tried 3 separate times to finish this book but after 4 chapters, I can't deal. The content is unoriginal and rather hokey. Not a fan.
