"You'll not only break the ice, you'll melt it away with your new skills." -- Larry King
"The lost art of verbal communication may be revitalized by Leil Lowndes." -- Harvey McKay, author of “How to Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive”
What is that magic quality makes some people instantly loved and respected? Everyone wants to be their friend (or, if single, their lover!) In business, they rise swiftly to the top of the corporate ladder. What is their "Midas touch?"
What it boils down to is a more skillful way of dealing with people.
The author has spent her career teaching people how to communicate for success. In her book How to Talk to Anyone (Contemporary Books, October 2003) Lowndes offers 92 easy and effective sure-fire success techniques-- she takes the reader from first meeting all the way up to sophisticated techniques used by the big winners in life. In this information-packed book you’ll find:
9 ways to make a dynamite first impression
14 ways to master small talk, "big talk," and body language
14 ways to walk and talk like a VIP or celebrity
6 ways to sound like an insider in any crowd
7 ways to establish deep subliminal rapport with anyone
9 ways to feed someone's ego (and know when NOT to!)
11 ways to make your phone a powerful communications tool
15 ways to work a party like a politician works a room
7 ways to talk with tigers and not get eaten alive
In her trademark entertaining and straight-shooting style, Leil gives the techniques catchy names so you'll remember them when you really need them, including: "Rubberneck the Room," "Be a Copyclass," "Come Hither Hands," “Bare Their Hot Button,” “The Great Scorecard in the Sky," and "Play the Tombstone Game,” for big success in your social life, romance, and business.
How to Talk to Anyone, which is an update of her popular book, Talking the Winner's Way (see the 5-star reviews of the latter)is based on solid research about techniques that work!
By the way, don't confuse How to Talk to Anyone with one of Leil's previous books, How to Talk to Anybody About Anything. This one is completely different!
How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships This is the very best book of its kind. I've read dozens of the "How to Win Friends and Influence People" genre - I wish I could have read this a few decades ago and skipped the rest. It works for me because it breaks everything down into what you have to do (and why), step by step. The same sorts of instructions you get from all the other books, but with a level of detail that tells you exactly what to do. If you need this sort of help, you need a book like this.
You might enjoy these books If you are a deep material reader then you may really enjoy Rumi & Self Psychology (Psychology of Tranquility) and also another book Sara's Therapy: A Way to Purity. These books are unique, easy to read, full of information, and just amazing; and you can not put them down.
Great little book Learned a lot from this little book. Lots of tips and directions for shy persons to use to talk with people. I put some of them to use right away with nice results. Shy folks like me don't pick up on things like this easy, so it was nice to read simple directions for ways of interacting that might come intuitively to the extroverted, non-shy people of the world.
Not Bad If this is the type of information you are looking for, it is not a bad read. At my age it is just a little hard to remember 92 tricks lol
Very helpful!!! This book contains a lot of tricks about how to talk with anyone... So straightfoward and funny, teaches you what not to do and what to do in communications... Professional, personal and social skills are described also. I enjoyed it, chapter by chapter!
