    If you get on reasonably well with people you won't need this...
  

*by B***Z on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2019*

Not for me.  Gave up half way through.  Very 'corporate America' in tone - not necessarily a bad thing but it grates after a while.  Long on waffle/anecdotes/self-promotion, short on anything to make me ponder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Useful, actionable strategies
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2017*

This is a fantastic book on how to interact, behave and communicate in all sorts of situations, including at work; at networking events; in business; in relationships with spouses, partners, colleagues and friends; and even when dating or on dating sites.There are chapters on The First Five Minutes, The First Five Hours, and The First Five Days. Some of the useful information includes: starting conversations and making them "sparkle" and memorable for you and the other person; the importance of really listening (I wish there was a section on 'how to cope with people who don't listen and just talk about themselves none stop!); why "birds of a feature stick together";  making "raving introductions"; where to stand at networking events; how to hold your mobile; how to write dating messages; decoding facial expressions and microexpressions; how knowing different personality types can help your friendship and business. There are questionnaires throughout to get you thinking about these.A quick note - she is American and sometimes uses American Football or other American cultural analogies but only a few. I guess we British are bilingual!I've known Vanessa's work through her email newsletters for a few years and was looking forward to this book, and was obviously not disappointed - even pleasantly surprised how useful and informative it is. But the one thing that really surprised me was the cover. I know that she really put a lot of effort into designing the cover (with her face on it), but this UK edition has a drab boring cover that doesn't stand out at all - thanks to Penguin.  So don't let that put you off it.This is a great reference book that I'll read again and again for tips and inspiration.

    From Introvert to Social Extrovert
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2017*

This is the first review I have EVER written, but Vanessa I enjoyed this book so so much. I have recommended it to all my friends, in fact they may just be getting it for Christmas this year.Also, I read this book in preparation for my first major conference. I am an introvert by definition and was feeling anxious about the event, but this book really changed everything for me. I went from "talking to people makes me anxious", to "who can I talk to next?" This book has changed my life. I can now see the value of networking and more importantly, I am now getting the value out of my networking sessions. Thank you thank you thank you Vanessa. I really can't say thank you enough for writing a book for "non-people" persons like me.P.S. I hope I get to meet you one day, so I can thank you in person.
