Benge J: Be A Nerd That Talks Good

Be A Nerd That Talks Good

Transform Your Technical Knowledge into Powerful Messages

Amid a world marked by skepticism, disruption, and eroding confidence, Game Changers in Leadership Communication vividly describes how formal and informal leaders can engage in communication to build or destroy trust when it matters most.Drawing on decades of research and real-world experiences, Pamela Shockley-Zalabak and Sherwyn Morreale reveal how everyday communication choices can result in leaders becoming either positive or negative game changers. Through interviews and case studies, the book provides thought-provoking and interactive guides and suggestions for Personal Reflections to help work through complex problems around trust and leadership. It integrates leadership communication theory with five research-based drivers of trust-competence, openness and honesty, identification, reliability, and concern for others. It addresses such salient topics as decision making, crises and disasters, global workforces, the global rise of authoritarianism, politics, AI, and ethics. This book serves as a primary or supplementary text for upper-division and graduate courses within the subjects of organizational communication, leadership, management, business, public affairs, and public relations, and will also be of interest to current and aspiring leaders.

Make Pigs Fly: Product Manager's Bathroom Book
180 Ways to Impress Colleagues in Meetings, Emails, and Pitches!
Tired of business books that feel like extended PowerPoint slides?
"Make Pigs Fly" is not your typical dry, corporate snooze-fest. It's an unapologetically witty guide packed with 180 bite-sized nuggets of wisdom designed to supercharge your career growth, sharpen your business communication, and help you dominate the wild world of product management-all while you're enjoying your "most productive" breaks (yes, even in the bathroom).
If you're hunting for inspiring books that deliver more than recycled motivational fluff, look no further. Ali Rakhimov serves up brutally honest advice with a side of humor, making this one of the most interesting books you'll ever read about managing products, people, and projects.

Inside, you'll discover how to:
真 Impress colleagues without sounding like a human buzzword generator
真 Master good habits for meetings, emails, and pitches that actually matter
真 Sell your ideas even if your product is about as exciting as a beige filing cabinet
真 Avoid "drinking your own bathwater" (figuratively... and hopefully, literally)
Whether you're an ambitious associate, an over-caffeinated engineer, or a battle-hardened PM, this is the development book you didn't know you needed. It's part inspirational business book, part corporate survival guide, and 100% relatable. Think of it as the Great American Bathroom Book for product managers-minus the history lessons and plus a lot more sass.
Perfect for:
真 Bathroom reads (short chapters, big ideas-no judgment)
真 Desk references (because your team deserves better than Post-it note wisdom)
真 Gifts for PMs who need to lighten up-or level up
Pro Tip: Flip to a random page whenever you're stuck or need a laugh. Either way, it's guaranteed to help you build better business habits, spark fresh ideas, and maybe-just maybe-make pigs fly.

In product management, if you're not making pigs fly, you're probably not aiming high enough.

About The Author:

Ali Rakhimov is a self-proclaimed "blue-collar product manager" who has spent more than a decade in tech, focusing on practical solutions that make a genuine impact on people's daily lives. After wrangling everything from payments and hardware to SaaS and eCommerce, he discovered that silly questions and deep empathy can move mountains-or at least Make Pigs Fly. As a bootstrapped founder with several exits and a product leader and coach, he believes anyone-regardless of pedigree-can build great products by staying curious and learning from others' mistakes. That philosophy led him to write "Make Pigs Fly" so readers can skip the painful lessons and focus on what works, while polishing their communication prowess.

Make Pigs Fly

You can have a sharp mind and still disappear on screen.

Zoom to Success: Present Like a Pro identifies the gap between having strong ideas and landing them under live, on¿camera pressure. Credibility takes shape through how you show up on screen, as work unfolds visibly and in real time. Virtual presentations, meetings, and interviews do more than convey information. They determine how others experience your thinking in the moment.

Most professionals never learned how to think on their feet, speak clearly, and stay grounded on camera. When nerves spike or attention thins, their thinking freezes at the moment it matters most. Zoom to Success addresses that failure by strengthening improvisation, so presenters stay present and move forward as conditions shift.

Nancy Ancowitz focuses on the mechanics of presence when conditions are imperfect. She zeroes in on the moments presenters dread because those moments decide outcomes. A shaky opening. A sudden tech failure. A zinger question that disrupts your train of thought. The book treats these as expected disruptions and shows how to recover footing without losing authority or momentum.

Zoom to Success reflects how communication actually unfolds on screen. Attention drops. Energy shifts. Pressure rises fast. Ancowitz shows how to respond, stay intentional, and perform effectively without becoming performative. The book positions performance as the purposeful coordination of thinking, voice, and body under pressure, even when technology distracts or glitches on screen. It treats this as a disciplined practice grounded in clear thinking, physical steadiness, vocal use, and sustained attention to the virtual room.

The book also integrates the strategic use of AI as a preparation and sparring partner for thinking. It uses AI for rehearsal as a low¿stakes way to practice thinking aloud and pressure¿test ideas, helping presenters test language, probe weak spots, and refine points of view before going live, so they can stay coherent and responsive when the moment turns unpredictable.

Zoom to Success speaks to people whose ideas should carry weight once they land and whose credibility comes under scrutiny on screen. It values durability over surface polish. It keeps pace with real workplace demands and holds up when consequences are real.

How to Avoid Common Traps, Eliminate Distractions, and Drive Impactful Outcomes

Making Better Decisions

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Power of Habit, a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work—and how we can all learn to be supercommunicators at work and in life “A winning combination of stories, studies, and guidance that might well transform the worst communicators you know into some of the best.”—Adam Grant, author of Think Again and Hidden Potential ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • FINALIST FOR THE&nbsp;SABEW BEST IN BUSINESS BOOK AWARD Come inside a jury room as one juror leads a starkly divided room to consensus.&nbsp;Join a young CIA officer as he recruits a reluctant foreign agent. And sit with an accomplished surgeon as he tries, and fails, to convince yet another cancer patient to opt for the less risky course of treatment. In Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg&nbsp;blends deep research and his trademark storytelling skills to show how we can all&nbsp;learn to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation. Communication is a superpower and the best communicators understand that whenever we speak, we’re actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What’s this really about?), emotional (How do we feel?), and social (Who are we?). If you don’t know what kind of conversation you’re having, you’re unlikely to connect.&nbsp; Supercommunicators know the importance of recognizing—and then matching—each kind of conversation, and how to hear the complex emotions, subtle negotiations, and deeply held beliefs that color so much of what we say and how we listen. Our experiences, our values, our emotional lives—and how we see ourselves, and others—shape every discussion, from who will pick up the kids to how we want to be treated at work.&nbsp;In this book, you will learn&nbsp;why some people are able to make themselves heard, and to hear others, so clearly. With his storytelling that takes us from the writers’ room of The Big Bang Theory to the couches of leading marriage counselors, Duhigg shows readers how to recognize these three conversations—and teaches us the tips and skills we need to navigate them more successfully. In the end, he delivers a simple but powerful lesson: With the right tools, we can connect with anyone.
