Bankmore Publishing announces timely release of new book at start of new year as many work to implement resolutions and positive change in their lives.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Meeting today's moment of political polarization and societal tension, Bankmore Publishing announces the release of the new book, Elevate Conversations, Deepen Connections: Tools for Even Better Communication by communication expert Lee Broekman. With a timely launch at the start of a new year as many work to implement resolutions and positive change in their lives, the book offers a transformative blueprint to create connection, bridge divides, cultivate cohesion, and elevate harmony.
With over half of Americans reporting greater stress and uncertainty in 2026 than the year before and sensitivity levels on the rise, the book provides a simple guide to change the way people communicate, at work and in life. Providing actionable tools and relatable stories, Broekman distills 20 years of communication workshops into a practical, compassionate guide for creating alignment in every conversation.
As an executive coach and trainer working with leaders across civic, government, private enterprises, creative agencies and with individual executives, Broekman is often engaged by organizations where interpersonal conflict ends up getting in the way of success and high performance. She frequently finds that despite having people with great intentions, top talent and a strong work ethic, work environments are fraught with criticism, blame, complaining, avoiding, and withholding.
"We forgot how to communicate in a way where we can share information, debate about ideas, and have fun working together as we produce great results. I wrote this book to share skills and strategies that we can immediately apply to create healthy and fulfilling relationships," said Lee Broekman.
At a time when cancel culture is prevalent and civil discourse is absent, Elevate Conversations, Deepen Connections gives hope and guidance to those who truly seek authentic relationships. Aimed at professional leaders, board members, and team players everywhere, this book offers a clear roadmap to navigate relationships with conscious communication.
With dozens of early reader reviews and a 5-star rating on Amazon, Broekman's new book is resonating with readers at the time when they need a resource, with testimonials that include the following:
"What distinguishes this work is Broekman's transparency and vulnerability—revealing where she and others felt frustrations and disappointment before finding eventual breakthroughs. Broekman possesses a rare gift for distilling sophisticated communication frameworks into tools you can actually use immediately." - Michael L
"It's a thoughtful, accessible guide for anyone who wants to communicate more effectively and connect more meaningfully." – Mayrav S
"Elevate Conversations, Deepen Connections by Lee Broekman is one of those rare communication books that doesn't just 'sound good,' it actually changes how you show up in real conversations. The tools are practical, simple to remember, and immediately usable (especially when emotions are high or you're stuck in a familiar pattern). I found myself constantly highlighting. Not because it was theoretical, but because it was usable. If you want better conversations at work, at home, or in any relationship that matters, this book is a clear, compassionate guide." - Lauren A
