Workplace dialogue and so much more

Gary Peterson gives the listener the insider's toolbox with all of the secrets and strategies to improving communication not only in the workplace, but at home with the family.

It's no secret that communication is the pretty much one of the most important skills we can develop when it comes to basically every area of our lives.

This book will help with a bunch of these areas. Professional narration from Rick Selin guides us through a maze of public speaking skills, developing characteristic traits that will aid you, network secrets, and a ton more.

I would recommend this for anyone that might consider themselves reserves, or who just wants to boost their communication skills overall.

Narrator is horrible

The book is very good and has quality information but the narrator has horrible communication skills. He reads the book as if he is a computer program. The only reason why I finished the book and put up with his narration was because the book was so good.

Great for work dialogue!

This had a ton of good information on how to handle some work situations and dealing with people you most likely don’t have a ton in common with. Work life balance and conversations can be dicey and this was great for explaining what to do!
