I have been following Jefferson Fisher on social media for quite some time. I loved his little bite-size bits of informative advice on managing relationships through conversation. When i heard he had written a book AND there was an audiobook - well, i signed up to purchase it the day it came out!
Jefferson offers insightful, easy to action mini-shifts in conversation to help us all work through the pitfalls of poor communication, allowing us the opportunity to connect with our colleagues, friends, loved ones and even strangers in a more authentic and approachable manner. He’s also got that lovely west Texas drawl which makes it nice to listen to his lovely reminiscing and helpful advice.
In our fractured world it’s so refreshing to have a resource like “The Next Conversation” to act as a catalyst to improve relationships through thoughtful conversation. Thank you Jefferson. Your insight and care are what this crazy world needs right now.

Every conversation is an opportunity to connect

I love Jefferson Fisher's work. First saw him on social media, then purchased this book. I could listen to Jefferson reading the phone book all day...lol..his voice is calm, soothing & engaging. Was great to have the author read his own book. It was like having a one-on-one conversation with him. I love how he summarises the key points of each chapter to cement the learnings, before moving onto the next chapter. SO many valuable learnings in this book. He gives lots of actual real life examples & scenarios & how to word things differently for a better outcome. I've identified areas that I can improve on. Things that I was unconsciously saying verbally & in the written word. I will need to re-listen to this book again, write notes. I highly recommend this book.

Fantastic book!!!

Helpful, practical advice from Jefferson Fisher's book, "The Next Conversation", read by Jefferson himself. I bought the audible version however now I am keen to buy the written copy. Jefferson gives very clear examples of responses you can use in daily life. It's amazing how well these work.

The best ideas I’ve heard on communication. Every example in here I could relate to myself. Especially how I was guilty of all of each of them, but the book is definitely a driver for change. It would honestly be hard not to love this book.
