Book Club

Communication, Inclusion, and Trust:
A Region II Book Discussion
 

NCURA Region II is excited to invite you to our upcoming book club discussion on April 23, 2026 at noon as we explore Amber Cabral's Say More About That: Finding Moments for Radical Honesty and Collective Healing.

​

Say More About That explores how we can approach challenging workplace conversations with curiosity, openness, and thoughtful communication. The book offers practical strategies for moving beyond surface-level dialogue to foster honest conversations that support stronger collaboration, inclusion, and trust within teams.
 

Amber Cabral's book provides research administrators with practical tools to:

​

• Navigate difficult or sensitive workplace conversations;

• Strengthen communication and inclusion across teams and roles;

• Foster environments where team members feel comfortable raising questions, ideas, and concerns; and

• Build trust and collaboration when managing cross-functional teams with competing priorities.

 

Whether you're managing a pre-award team, coordinating post-award compliance, or leading institutional research initiatives, the strategies in Say More About That can help create team environments where open dialogue and inclusion strengthen collaboration and problem-solving. During the discussion, we’ll explore real-world applications for research administration settings and share strategies for strengthening communication within our teams.
