From the Inside Flap

What's happened to real? In a world of jargon, acronyms and distrust, does authenticity in leadership mean anything anymore?

The answer is a resounding YES. As the expectations of customers and employees evolve at a breakneck pace, businesses and organisations are starving for real communication and authentic leadership.

But there's a lot of baggage and distrust to overcome. Real Communication shows you how decades of systematic deceit, jargon, alternative facts and a top-down culture of self-protection have nurtured cynicism in our organisations. With real-life case studies, pointers and guidelines, leadership consultant Gabrielle Dolan shows you how authenticity can earn trust with honest communication, and why it's well worth the effort.

Great leadership demands commitment. Are you ready to get real? Learn how to:

communicate more effectively
improve employee engagement
help your team cope with change
lead significant organisational transformation
manage the new generation of employees.

When trust is broken, it is extremely hard to rebuild. Real Communication shows you how to do it, and the payoff is priceless. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

It's ok to speak plainly

Reviewed in Australia on 16 June 2019

This is Gabrielle's best book yet! She makes clear and sensible assertions about the need to quit using jargon, avoid acronyms, and just say it how it is. There is a difference between brutal truth and kind truth and Gabrielle's story-telling strategy that leaders can adopt is the way to be both kind, genuine, and forthright, even when the truth is brutal. The book is full of excellent case studies and stories (no surprise there with the stories as this is her clear expertise). The stories have a way of staying with you, causing shifts in perspective around speaking the truth and building trust.

Great book for leaders who are looking for a no bullcrap way to connect genuinely with teams, colleagues, customers.

This book with Motivate, Engage and Inspire People and Organisations through change

Reviewed in Australia on 2 July 2019

In a world of constant change and disruption being able to influence people to adapt and evolve to constant changing demands at work means that you really need to be able to communicate with people at a human and authentic level.
This book "Real Communication" by Gabrielle Dolan has some fantastic and specific activities that leaders can do to improve their levels of trust, remove jargon that is confusing for people and disconnects them from real conversations relationships. As well as great case studies and examples of organisations that use stories to be able to motivate, engage and inspire people through change. High recommended.

Real Communication is the diamond in the thousands of tons of leadership and communications books, white papers, and blogs I have to mine every day to serve the leaders of leaders. Entire professions and industries depend on me to map where leadership is headed and then help them communicate in a way that is more authentic. My joy and challenge is to guide the brightest, most fascinating people in business and they are willing to learn the skills and practice better habits to get results they want. Think Swiss Army Knife. Real Communication is a powerful, compact, useful book that you’ll take with you so you can pull it out and use any of its precision passages, such as avoid jargon, embrace authenticity, build trust, stay real, and communicate clearly. That’s why this book made it through my CEO Reading system filters that allow only 100 a year into my high priority time, then shot to the top three books that go with me into every meeting.

I really enjoyed this book. This book talks about how to communicate in a way that is simple, authentic and real. It is a book that challenges you to embrace authenticity and rawness over hiding behind corporate jargon and acronyms. The author shares her personal stories and has her way to build connections through her book. It almost feels like she is talking to you when she writes. I would highly recommend this book to any leader who is committed to build their teams, sharpen their leadership and embrace authenticity.
