Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You've rehearsed the sentence in the shower. By the time you sit down, it's gone.You know exactly what needs to be said. You've said it perfectly in your head, in the car, in the mirror. Then the moment arrives - the termination conversation, the pushback with your boss, the confrontation you've been avoiding for six months - and your body does something else entirely. You hedge until the point disappears. You over-apologize until the listener has to dig for what you actually meant. Or you go too fast, too loud, too sharp, and walk away wishing you'd said nothing at all.That isn't a failure of understanding. It's a physiological gap between knowing and doing, and no amount of reading about what good communication looks like closes it - because the part of your brain holding the theory gets quietly overridden by the part that's older, faster, and doesn't care about your framework the moment your heart rate spikes.Stay in POISE closes that gap. This isn't another book about what to say. It's a five-step method - Pause and Read the Body, Own Both Sides' Stakes, Isolate the One Sentence, Say It and Sit in Silence, Evaluate and Adjust - built to get your body to cooperate with your words in the sixty seconds that decide whether a hard conversation goes well or badly.Not theory. A sequence. One practiced enough times, through a structured 30-day drill, that it holds when your heart rate is at 110 and everything that matters is sitting right in front of you."Not composure without effort, but composure that no longer requires you to freeze first."Inside, you'll learn how to: - Interrupt your stress response before it takes the wheel- Say the one sentence that actually needs to be said - nothing buried, nothing hedged- Hold the silence after it, without rushing to fill it- Apply the method to power-imbalanced conversations - reviews, terminations, and conversations with someone who outranks you- Debrief a hard conversation so a single win becomes a repeatable skill- Turn one hard conversation into a compounding, thirty-day practiced habit- Become the person who doesn't freezeYou'll follow Dana through a series of real-feeling composite conversations that build in stakes - watch exactly where composure breaks down and why - then finish with a study guide built to run the full method on a hard conversation of your own."Avoidance doesn't cost you the conversation. It costs you everything that conversation was standing between you and."Scroll up and grab your copy of Stay in POISE - and become the person who stays in POISE when it counts.
