Last week Alan Cohen, president of Acts of Balance Coaching, teamed up with Johna Burke for a free BurrellesLuce webinar, Those Difficult Talks for PR Pros – Finding Your MoJo in Delicate Discussions^sm. (Click here to download the recording of the presentation or slides at your convenience.)

During the Q&A portion of the webinar, one attendee asked Alan to recommend some of his favorite professional books. “I am reading many different things, not all on difficult conversations, but a lot of them on effective communications [...] and I enjoy many books on managing conflicts,” Alan said. He offered these suggestions:

• The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable (Patrick Lencioni)
• Death By Meeting (Patrick Lencioni)
• Work Happy: What Great Bosses Know (Jill Geisler)
• Presenting Magically: Transforming Your State with NLP (David Shephard) 

What books would you add to the list? Please share your thoughts here on BurrellesLuce Fresh Ideas.
