Talent is Overrated - What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else by Geoff Colvin.

The good news is, we really do start out on equal footing. While it might seem that some have the knack or raw gift, Geoff has found that the research doesn’t support it. So if you want to be world-class, you’ve got to work and put the time in, but not just any kind of work, a very specific kind called “deliberate practice”. The bad news is that this “deliberate practice” isn’t fun. But more of it equals better performance, and tons of it equals great performance.

I talk Geoff about what really does get us ahead and what we can do to be truly excellent.

Failure to Communicate :How Conversations Go Wrong and What You Can Do to Right Them by Holly Weeks.

Since few of us like being involved in confrontational or highly emotional conversations we tend to procrastinate, hoping the situation will improve on its own. However, do not fear, Holly has examined these intense dialogs and provides for us a way to handle them. Don’t let ‘not knowing how’ be the reason you keep waiting, or worse, catch you off guard.

I talk with Holly about what kinds of conversations turn heated, how to deal with crying and more.
