We Can't Talk about That at Work!: How to Talk about Race, Religion, Politics, and Other Polarizing Topics

We Need to Talk!

Conversations about taboo topics happen at work every day. And if they arenâ€™t handled effectively, they can become polarizing and divisive, impacting productivity, engagement, retention, teamwork, and even employeesâ€™ sense of safety in the workplace.

In this concise and powerful book, Mary-Frances Winters shows how to deal with sensitive subjects in a way that brings people together instead of driving them apart. She helps you become aware of the role culture plays in shaping peopleâ€™s perceptions, habits, and communication styles and gives detailed guidance for structuring conversations about those things weâ€™re not supposed to talk about.

Preparation is crucialâ€”but so is intent. Winters advises you to â€œcome from your heart, learn from your mistakes, and continue to contribute to making this a more inclusive world for all.â€
