In The Elevated Communicator, Maryanne has taken her joyfully acquired wisdom and shared it in a way that allows the reader to not only know themselves better but make their business and life better––a place of conscious and connected communication.

I really enjoyed this book. It is intuitive that our well-being influences how we show up each day. This book provides tangible tools and stories that give insight into how to be a more skilled communicator and enhance the connection to our personal well-being. The survey to assess communication styles was relevant and accurate. The behaviors described in each style and how they change with the winds of our well-being align with my experience with myself and others. Communication is recognized as an important life skill and this book provides the framework to help self and team members improve it.
