Publisher's summary

Do you want to learn how to communicate effectively? If yes, then keep reading....

Effective communication begins at the point where a person gets an idea or information about something and the intention to share the information with the next recipient. The individual will choose which medium to use while conveying the information to the next party. The choice of the mode of transmitting the information guarantees that the message is understood correctly by the receiving party.

For a communication to be effective, it has to retain the initial message that was intended to be shared and not distort even a single meaning that was supposed to be passed on, regardless of the mode of transmitting the information. Therefore, the initial idea or message meets the purpose as to what it was structured and planned for.

The mode as to what will be conveyed is responsible for how the message will be understood and the amount of time that it will take for a response to be received. If the reaction to a message or idea is not received on time, some factors such as alterations to the information could be the reason.

In this audiobook, you will find practical strategies which can help you overcome the most significant barriers of communication and discover the amazing feeling you get from learning the skills that are essential to making your communication effective.

This bundle covers the following topics:

  • Social skills
  • How to improve your charisma
  • And much more

There are a lot of barriers to communication in the recent years. It is fundamental to get solutions to having the barriers around while communication.

Great little guide

Also, to take your life into your own hands and start improving your social skills. Only you can do it, and that is what it teaches you. The amount of information this audiobook contains will be sufficient to keep you going and break through the barriers you thought were impossible to overcome. Anything is possible if you work hard enough for it, even if it takes weeks, months, or even years. This fantastic audiobook will guide you onto the path of social success!

People become easier to understand

The chapter titled “Communication” is a great chapter to listen to. Not only if you want to understand how to make proper introductions, but also how to turn strangers into new friends. I’m a relatively shy and timid person who stays at home most of the time. This audiobook helped me understand how to overcome my shyness and fear in various social situations and deal with tricky moments. I would highly recommend this audiobook by Ted Goleman. It covers so much information, and it is incredibly helpful in you reaching your full social potential! It is truly worthy of five stars!

A lifesaver for a busy bee

I am quite a busy woman with little time to think about self-improvement while juggling work and home life. However, I decided to get this audiobook to listen to it when I clean, cook, or go for a morning jog. I was skeptical at first but gave it a go. The first thing to notice – the narrator’s voice is so calming and clear that it makes you relax and focus on the content. I have to admit that this book has helped me reignite my social skills and improve my relationships with coworkers and friends. It gives plenty of advice on dealing with social situations and how to become more confident in your abilities.

Talented individuals

This audiobook results from multiple talented individuals working together – the author made sure the information is indeed correct and easy to understand and follow. On the other hand, the narrator made the audiobook a pleasure to listen to thanks to their soothing and clear voice and perfect pronunciation.

This audiobook makes you act

Honestly, I did not think that a book could do anything to improve one’s social skills. Well, it turns out that I was wrong. While only listening through it and not acting upon what you listen to may not do much, it shouldn’t be a problem with this audiobook. It motivates you to put in the work. Not only can you improve your general ability to communicate with others around you, but you can also change any ‘bad’ social habits you have. All that is needed is knowledge and motivation, both of which the audiobook provides! I am delighted with my purchase, and to be honest, I have not felt this confident in a long time.

Remove communication barriers

I have had problems with communicating since I can remember. I do not have any impairments or mental issues such as social phobia that could affect it. I am just incredibly shy. This audiobook has helped me remove some of the communication barriers I was facing. The chapters called “Recognize Social Anxiety and Shyness” and “Exercises You Can Do to Improve Your Social Skills” helped a lot. They made me realize that it is not as hard to improve as you think. The exercises included trying out various powerful poses, improving your boundaries, using music to help reduce stress, and much more! I am thrilled to try those invaluable techniques out and overcome my shyness in no time!

Creating new friendships

Meeting strangers can be scary (and it often is). However, strangers are just friends you have not met yet! This brilliant audiobook by Ted Goleman is made for those situations – where your newfound communication mastery comes into play. There are plenty of chapters that will help you become friendlier and more approachable. A lot of them focus on self-confidence, self-love, and being yourself when meeting others. Overall, I have to admit that this guide improves your communication skills and is incredibly motivational. I will let my sister have a listen – she is a little ball of anxiety, and I know this will help her as it helped me!

Forget the competition

There is no use in trying to search for a better guide than Ted Goleman’s. This audiobook is the ultimate guide for learning to communicate effectively. I am very impressed with the narrator’s performance, too – clear, concise, and overall incredibly pleasant to listen to. The insight I got into what to do to become more of a social butterfly had me floored. I cannot recommend this audiobook enough, to be honest. However, I can say that it is the best guide I have listened through, personally. I have spent a long time looking for No. 1, and I have finally found it. So did you!

Helped me massively

I am not one for much social interaction, but I still like to go out now and again. This guide helped me overcome my worries regarding meeting new people and not knowing what to say or do. Chapter 10, titled “Meeting People,” taught me what I should do during the first encounters. Alongside that, “Learning The Art of Small Talks” and “Keep The Conversation Going Past The Pleasantries” helped me avoid awkward silences during parties and other gatherings. No more worrying about what to say during the small talk! I will recommend this guide to a few of my friends who need to polish their communication skills!
