When we published Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High nearly 20 years ago, we had no idea where that event would take us.

She and Joseph Grenny revised the bestseller to include new conversation scripts, more diverse representation, updated research, and examples from current cultural events and trends.
