like the lights are off like they don't have as we said a second ago like the tools and the answers to be effective in their life and it's as we said it's such an unfair competitive disadvantage in life to have all the skills all the talent all the potential but it's to be trapped behind an untrained tongue yeah or an untrained mind in the context of how we respond and taking a pause and just having some of those really sort of foundational tools so thank you for doing what you do so it's no surprise to me that you're so incredibly resonant in this moment in time where

So many of us, quite frankly, especially younger generations, just don't know how to communicate. We don't know how to have a conversation, how to resolve conflict, because we're living behind screens now. Right. So much of our, you know, the muscle of communication and conversation isn't being trained in the same way.

So highly recommend as well, if anyone's got any kids out there that are going off into the world and maybe have been glued to TikTok for too long, for them to listen to this conversation, to buy the book, and to get further into your work. Jefferson, thank you. Thank you very much. It's been an honor. The hardest conversations are often the ones we avoid.

But what if you had the right question to start them with? Every single guest on the Diary of a CEO has left behind a question in this diary. And it's a question designed to challenge, to connect and to go deeper with the next guest. And these are all the questions that I have here in my hand. On one side, you've got the question that was asked, the name of the person who wrote it.

And on the other side, if you scan that, you can watch the person who came after, who answered it. 51 questions split across three different levels, the warm-up level, the open-up level, and the deep level. So you decide how deep the conversation goes. And people play these conversation cards in boardrooms at work, in bedrooms, alone at night... and on first dates and everywhere in between.
