The Book
Everything that matters in a conversation happens before anyone agrees
Most advice about communication is a list of tactics: mirror their posture, use their name, never split the difference. Tactics travel badly. They work in the room they were written for and collapse in the one you are standing in.
Communication Advantage is a method instead of a list. It starts from what is actually happening between two people: status, stake, and the story each of them is telling themselves. Then it gives you a way to read that, and to move it. The same method works on a pay review, a renewal call and a disagreement at home, because all three are the same shape underneath.
It is built on thirty-five years of doing this in rooms where it counted: capital markets, boardrooms, and the training programmes that followed them.
Communication Advantage is available in ebook, Audio book and print versions

Frequently Asked Prompts
A good prompt is mostly just a well-described situation. Start from one of these, adjust it, or write your own. The engine works with whatever you give it. Your prompt can be up to 200 words in length so you can detail your situation with specific information and needs to help the AI engine give you a highly customised response.
- Resetting an Escalating Disagreement
A colleague and I strongly disagree about how an important project should proceed. Our last two conversations became increasingly tense and I feel we are both now trying to prove the other person wrong. How can I reset the conversation and get us back to constructive dialogue?
- Giving Difficult Feedback to a Senior Colleague
I need to tell a senior colleague that their behaviour in meetings is intimidating junior members of the team. They are powerful, confident and not particularly receptive to criticism. How should I approach this conversation while protecting both the relationship and my position?
- Moving Beyond the Blame Game
A stakeholder has accused my team of causing a major project delay. I believe their own team is largely responsible and I have evidence to support this. I don't want the meeting to become a blame game. How should I handle the conversation?
- De-escalating a Heated Conversation
A discussion with a colleague has already become heated. They are speaking aggressively, interrupting me and clearly becoming emotional. I can feel myself becoming defensive as well. What should I do and say right now to prevent the conversation escalating further?
