The author narrates in a very friendly and supportive tone and that made the expert tips easier for me to absorb, I learned how to talk to anyone with confidence. The book's interactive exercises and real-life examples are my favorite because they helped me improve my conversation skills and conquer small talk fears. Now, I'm more confident in conversing with everyone with my newfound communication prowess. This audiobook is super helpful for anyone like me who overthinks what others think. It's like having a secret weapon to build strong connections and feel at ease during social interactions. I highly recommend it!

Having great Conversation Skills makes life easier

If you deal with people improving your Conversation Skills is a must and so is this book. I know I have had times when I was totally misunderstood from a conversation I had with someone at my job, sometime you want to blame the person that didn't understand but I know I must take responsibility for how my message is perceived and that what I want to say is understood.
This book helps with small correction I never considered.

Calm Communicator

If you feel you could communicate better or just aren't comfortable around strangers, you're not alone. To make communication even more complex people have different styles that benefit you to recognize. One key technique in the book that I learned is how to get over the feeling that I don't have anything to say. Since I benefited from so many points the author shares, I'd recommend putting this on your listening list.

Love it

I think everyone should read this book. It would be great if our schools taught it to young people. It talks about important things like understanding others, knowing yourself, asking why five times, setting clear goals, knowing who you're talking to, and really listening. If you start using these tips early in life, they can help you in every relationship. I'm going to apply what I've learned and see how it improves my life. It's a journey that never ends. Overall, it's a great read and helpful guide.
