Synopsis

Your colleague isn’t difficult. They’re speaking a different language.

Every workplace runs on six hidden languages: behavioural, emotional, cultural, generational, personality and neurodivergent. We’re each fluent in a few, and we assume everyone else is too. So when the quiet analyst never speaks up, the manager’s “quick question” lands like an accusation, or the graduate wants weekly feedback while the veteran wants to be left alone, we don’t see a translation problem. We see a difficult person.

The uncomfortable part is that they’re thinking exactly the same about you.

Everyone Thinks They’re the Normal One maps the six languages that shape how people work, communicate and clash. It shows you how to translate between them before small misreadings turn into lost trust, stalled projects and good people walking out.

Inside you’ll find:

• The six languages in plain English, and how to tell which one someone is speaking
• Workplace scenes that show each collision as it happens, and how it gets repaired
• A practical Translation Toolkit with worked examples you can use in your next meeting
• An honest look at power: translation is a shared skill, but it’s rarely an equally shared burden
• An A–Z field guide to the words and phrases that get lost in translation

It’s for managers, team leads, HR professionals, and anyone who has ever left a meeting wondering what just happened.

From S. H. Hamilton, author of Two Languages, One Relationship.
