I have been using Doug Noll’s books and training for sometime and his explorations into communication as leaders, his ideas on empathy and managing the nervous system always provide great insight in the HOW-TO’s of implemention. What other authors identify as important of lacks any discussion on what this looks like in real conversations. doug Noll offers specific structures to make it happen in very effective, scientifically based, simple to implement practices. Whether I am coaching executive leaders or high conflict individuals going through divorce, his approaches really work!
