I have to complete a training for a program I’m in, and I can read a book for it. Any recs?

Should focus on skills such as communication, critical thinking, problem solving, interpersonal skills, etc.

It really helped give me practical tips for working through discourse and bringing out differing opinions.

My textbook for my MBA class this term is actually really great! It's called Developing Management Skills by Whetton and Cameron. It's definitely a textbook, not a quick read. But each chapter is pretty standalone and addresses one specific item, so you could jump around by topic if you wanted to.

It’s not lecturing or textbook like but more of a story with practical tips woven in.

It had a lot of case examples and things tied in which made things feel more real.
