Discover your communication style and elevate consciousness at work to build trust, strengthen collaboration, relieve stress, and improve well-being.

Our work lives revolve around effective communication. It is essential for cultivating trust and team collaboration, as well as strengthening our motivation and well-being at work. And with teams experiencing more anxiety, stress, and burnout than ever before, strong communication skills have never been more essential.

The key to this clear and effective communication begins with understanding our own personal communication styles. Bringing our whole and authentic selves to work improves relationships and teamwork. The better we know what drives us, how we impact others, and how our wellbeing impacts our communication, the faster we can close communication gaps to build healthy, successful, and satisfying work lives and more intentional careers.

Drawing on more than a decade of original research on communication tendencies and proven mindfulness and habit-formation techniques, Maryanne O’Brien has developed a proprietary model of communication styles: Expressive, Reserved, Direct, or Harmonious.

In The Elevated Communicator, you will find:
-A self-assessment to discover your style
-An in-depth style profile to strengthen self-awareness and help you play to your strengths
-Strategies to manage your communication style under stress
-Practices to improve your wellbeing and reduce conflict
-Ways to care for your communication style and improve your wellbeing
-Methods to flex toward other styles to communicate more effectively with people
-Advice on building healthy, trusted, and productive working relationships

Perfect for fans of StrengthsFinders 2.0 and Gretchen Rubin’s The Four Tendencies, The Elevated Communicator is a “refreshing, insightful, and user-friendly” (Tara Peyerl, executive coach and success director, Salesforce) approach to develop daily practices to spiral up, raise consciousness, inspire accountability, and discover your full potential at work.

“It’s hard to overstate the importance of communication in business. As an executive coach, I have seen first-hand how important it is for leaders to understand their communication style and the impact they have on others. The Elevated Communicator is a refreshing, insightful, and user-friendly way to raise your level of communication, build healthy relationships, and find more satisfaction and success in your career.” –Tara Peyerl, Executive Coach and Success Director, Salesforce

I found a lot in this book to think about. The information identifying the four communication styles was interesting and insightful.

I took the test and agreed with the descriptions for my primary and secondary communication styles. What really sold me was doing the test for a friend and then comparing what she got when she took the test. We both got the same results for her. The descriptions for her primary and secondary communication styles fit her as well.

I'm holding on to this book to refer to, I want to use it's insights into improving my ability to communicate with others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read and Better Application–Highly Recommend!
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2021
I found The Elevated Communicator to be an excellent book that gave me insight into how to expand my awareness of my unconscious actions and how to channel that insight to elevate the way I communicate and connect with every sort of person–personally and especially at work.

Maryanne O’Brien does something unique that not too many business and self-development books do–it’s readable! I found the pages flying by and the insights piling up. Maryanne finds a way to distill complex mechanisms of the brain and human interaction into digestible ideas that are easy to apply in the real world.

Since getting my communication style and reading the book I’ve noticed a significant increase in my ability to connect with clients in my work in consulting. I find I’m able to better set myself up to be at my best more often and am able to recognize my client’s communication styles so I can best tailor my delivery and findings to increase understanding and receptivity. As someone who works with complex statistical methods and results, the ability to communicate effectively IS HUGE. This book has given me newfound ability to communicate with increased confidence, authenticity and tact.

I highly recommend to all professionals looking to increase their effectiveness and well-being at work.

If you struggle with communication and your delivery this is the book for you. If you are tone deaf to other styles, you need this. This was the ASU book club recommendation and it's great for everyone at all stages in life.

This book has something for everyone! The mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Helpful to learn how the brain works and how our experiences create emotional triggers that affect how we relate to the world. Also how our energy field connects us to each other so we affect each other without speaking. The communication styles are very helpful and it’s fun to do the online test. The communication styles help us understand self so we can improve our relationships and work well together. I highly recommend this book!
