It's a Bedroom, not a Boardroom: A communication book for hardworking couples

It’s a Bedroom not a Board Room provides communication skills for ambitious couples who want to be and stay in love.

As a psychologist for over 30 years, Dr. Lois Nightingale discovered that ambitious and outcome-focused couples often had more difficulty connecting with loved ones at home. When they faced challenges at work, they focused on a solution and found successful answers. But these techniques only increased problems at home. When they finally landed in therapy they were on the verge of ending another relationship, financing a divorce, or facing the thing they hated most: failure.

It was as if they were trying to find their way around New York City with a map of Chicago. The map was accurate, but if misapplied it was frustrating, even dangerous. Learn how to navigate productive communication at home.


Dr. Nightingale shares specific strategies she teaches driven personalities and their partners. Her communication skills are presented against the backdrop of her own family’s business history and her own personal relationship journey.

Now you can read the tips she shares with clients who ask why their personal relationships are falling apart when they’re so effective in other areas of their lives. Put these skills into practice and watch your relationship improve.
