I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
“You can’t just feel confident at will. You have to experience moments when you can exercise your confidence.”
That line perfectly captures the heart of The Next Conversation Workbook by Jefferson Fisher—because confidence in communication doesn’t just happen. It’s built through practice.
I was already a big fan of The Next Conversation, so when I heard a workbook was coming that would actually help readers apply those principles in real-life situations, I was immediately intrigued. And this one absolutely delivers.
This isn’t a passive read—it’s a true workbook, filled with prompts, exercises, and practical examples that walk you step-by-step through improving the way you communicate at home, at work, and in difficult situations.
Some of the key areas it helps you work through include:
• Control – learning how to manage yourself, the moment, and the pace of a conversation
• Confidence – practicing assertiveness, setting boundaries, and dealing with difficult personalities
• Connection – framing your words effectively and navigating defensiveness
What I loved most was seeing how all of these principles work together. You really do need to practice each piece if you want to confidently navigate tough conversations.
Honestly, this is one of those books you didn’t realize you needed…until you start working through it and think, “Wow, this would help in so many situations.”
If you want to improve ANY aspect of your communication—whether it’s in relationships, work, or everyday life—I highly recommend this workbook. I also think it would be fantastic for teens and up learning these skills early.
And the best part? It’s available today.
Happy reading📚

This is a good practical book about how to communicate with clarity, confidence, and connection. The one piece of advice that I personally find useful is how to handle “evil” comments from others. Instead of getting defensive or reacting without control, the author suggested giving a long pause, asking the other person to repeat what they said, and taking a breath before replying. When encountered with false apology, the author also suggested practical ways to identify the pretense and respond with assertiveness without sounding aggressive. Overall this is a good book with practical advice, but it needs to be reality checked to be considered useful for different situations.
