Resumen del Editor

"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 that 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, Lowndes offers 92 easy and effective sure-fire success techniques - she takes the listener from first meeting all the way up to sophisticated techniques used by the big winners in life. In this information-packed audiobook 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!

Great Book

Networking, Business Owners, Hot Shots, and Prospective Mates. She covers it all. Great tips for anyone.

I was happy when it was over

The story of a woman with a thousand friends and only a few of which can hold a candle to her brilliance

Some tough sledding here.

I think Ms. Lowndes must be a delightful person to know, but I think much of the book was like a trip back to 1981. It pains me to say that because are some good nuggets here. Belabored.

How to be completely fake and kiss ass to get ahead

If you want to play the BS game do this. If you want a meaningful life full of people you really like, just be kind an honest.

I needed this

Some time ago as a post graduate, i used to go to marketing parties with a big and bold ambition to get to know someone BIG from the marketing field, and to socialize. I would spend hours choosing an outfit to wear or doing a makeup. But i would completely ignore the fact of “preparing anything to say, a topic to discuss, or small talks to mix and mingle with strangers”. Then obviously, i would end up chatting with friends i cAme with and munch on party goodies, ignoring my initial purpose of getting to know “big cats”. As if i came to eat, in the first place.

Oh boy, had i known the tips from this book back then, i would be in a different place today. To some the art of communicating comes naturally, and some need to learn the hard way. The latter was true for me, and i have never given a conscious thought about it until i read this book.
Hope everyone reading, would enjoy it and learn from it as much as I did.

Technics worth considering

Contained within this book are tips that will help 90% of the public. Communications and attitude define the character of everyone

Practice

This book is an amazing collection of tips that are practical and can change your life. The author supplies great examples and repeats thing which helps the listener remember. I really enjoyed listening to this audio book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be a better communicator.

Basically how to manipulate people into liking you instead of being real

It does have a few interesting tips, mostly common sense, but told in a very annoying way. I could barely finish it. The author uses annoying and childish vocabulary and style with boring stories. Skip this and buy the workbook.

fascinating

amazing attention to detail and full of great communication skills guidance. the author really researched her subject and includes humor.

Could use some updates

Though it was enjoyable enough to listen to and you get prompted to re-evaluate your behavior, It felt to me a little outdated.
