Communication Skills Training: A Practical Guide to Improving Your Social Intelligence, Presentation, Persuasion and Social Speaking

Excellent book, easy to understand and to apply the suggestions. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills.

This book has transformed the way I demonstrated my communication skills. It is a game changer with insights into non verbal cues that we can observe in others and apply to our relationships. It has also inspired me to adopt a more effective presentation style within my organization.

As a person looking to communicate better in a wider variety of situations, this book was a good read. It was jammed packed with information and references to research. I particularly found helpful - learning the filters people see reality through. It really explained how people can have the same data and come up with different conclusions PLUS what to do about it. - the difficult people chapter. This helped me see that I was actually encouraging other people's bad behavior by not being assertive enough, taking it to personally, or caving for peace. - the networking chapter. The tips for how to get in and out of conversations was great. The book also expelled a lot of myths about communication such as a person is lying if they look to your left and that you need to talk a lot to be liked. I have been reading the correlating sections of this book every time I have a social event and I have seen improvement. This book will definitely stay at my desk.

I was amazed by the way and the content of this book, it is certainly a guidance on what to consider, what to change, what to do . Love it I already listen to the book twice, and I think I’m going to listening again , a lot of good material

The tips the author gave were okay. But I thought they were kind of manipulative to use on your working colleagues. The book could easily been reduced to about 50 pages. Putting on a happy face is obvious if you are a sincerely happy person. Wishing people a great day is also common curtesy. Delving into someone’s personal problems is not. Almost everyone wears some sort of mask for protection. I would strongly suggest, it is better to be an attentive, sincere listener, than to simply nod in agreement to work challenges. That way, you could bear the burdens of a difficult work environment, without regrets. Always be sincere with everyone. Your sincerity should reap great rewards, in your home life and hopefully someday, in your workplace.

Simple, informative, and practical. If you are looking for a book that will help you communicate with others in various areas of your life then this is the right book for you! The language in the book is easy to read and jumps right into the material to get you started to improving your communication skills. The material written in this book is not a "do these simple tricks and your life will alter forever" but rather gives you the foundation and techniques as well as insights of how communication works to help better your skills. Overall I was very satisfied with all the content given in this book as it exposed me to ideas and concepts that I would have never came up with myself.

Just finished the book and all in all it was a good read! Some of the chapters felt like review or “common sense”. BUT I found plenty of chapters to be incredibly insightful and practical. Something I look for in the books I read is how practical the teachings can be in our day to day lives. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of actionable advice given within this book. Finally, YES. Yes I would recommend this quick read to anyone and everyone. A few of the chapters I will even go back and review from time to time.

I really enjoy reading this book. I got great information from it and I'm already reading another one of your books. Thanks for being a great author.

Love this book.

Such an awesome book, Very easy to understand and to apply in our daily communications. please come up with such books it’s really helpful!

This concise, but still complete guide, contains a huge amount of practical advices and techniques, which are always well supported by interesting psychology and sociology facts, helping the reader to understand the mechanisms behind human behaviours during interactions. It covers every aspect of this largely underrated skill such as body language, usage of voice, ACTIVE LISTENING to the interlocutor, and examples of things we usally say (or we do not say) that are undermining the effectiveness of our speech. Recommended.
