The Art of the Conversation

Book Description:

If your fear of making conversations has been holding you back, look no further! Now is your time to become a confident speaker—regardless of who you are facing!

Take a moment to think of all the missed opportunities because of your fear of speaking to others.

Was it the person you were attracted to but couldn’t ask out? The perfect career because you froze in an interview? Or that annoying coworker who kept taking the credit for your work?

It’s so frustrating to walk away from a conversation knowing you could have made valuable contributions, but your brain just comes to a blank. You’re already beating yourself up, and then you start picturing what the other person must think of you.

You certainly aren’t the only one. According to Gartner, 70% of corporate errors are a result of poor communication. Poor communication skills don’t just knock your self-esteem—they can be costly too.

As young children, we are taught to speak our native language, maybe even a second language. Our words are only a small fraction of communication, yet were you taught how to communicate?

What matters now is that you no longer have to suffer with your communication skills. All you need is a practical guide to boosting them, written by someone with extensive expertise and personal experience.

And that’s exactly what this handbook is. Inside, you will discover:

• The neuroscience behind communication, what makes your brain tick, and the one thing you have to change right now!

• How to start talking to yourself with kinder words and greater positivity to boost yourself-esteem

• What not to do when breaking the ice and how to turn small talk into meaningful dialogues

• 5 steps to help you foster empathetic communication so that you can truly understand what other people are going through—and respond effectively

• Realistic techniques to handle difficult conversations and conflicts with grace and calmness

• How to adapt your communication style to different personality types and even different settings

• What to look for in body language so that you know a person’s message matches what they genuinely want to say

• Special considerations for communicating in a digital era complete with the dos and don’ts to prevent miscommunications

• Bonus interactive activities so you can put your newfound skills into practice and be 100% ready to talk to anyone

And much more.

You may have tried to step out of your comfort zone only to feel like you have taken five steps backward. This sounds too good to be true, too easy to be true.

Your past experiences may not have been as successful as you had hoped because you were missing pieces of the puzzle. Now you have every piece to help you transform your communications one page at a time. Nevertheless… it starts with you!
