Good tips but not enjoyable listening

Probably better to read than to listen to. The narrative/ voice struck me as without emotion and almost mechanical in sections. Also, with the large number of tips, it would be easier to reference back on a paperback.

insufferable

I listened up till chapter 26 where I couldn't take it any longer. Offers no real people skills for the business world. One chapter was dedicated to walking chest out and sitting upright in a chair and used an example of a gorilla, stating, "Me big, me strong!" to exemplify her past ranting.

Investing in your communication skills is worth it

I first listened to Leil’s earlier book, How to Talk to Anyone. I soaked up the information and began applying her tips and tricks into my daily dialog. I was pleasantly surprised to see that noticing and acting on small communication queues DOES make a difference. I’m confident that, regardless of what field you work in, the advice Leil shares in this book, and in her previous work, is sound. I have recommended her books to my colleagues and friends because I know they’re well worth the investment. Also, her writing style is excellent and entertaining - she is an example worth following.

Most insightful about the ways of people

you can't expect much of a story from a book like this. so the listen does drag on a little bit. I probably wouldn't believe 95% of the stories that the author says she experienced, but I understand why she gave them. Do you help make a point about how a person would feel and react to each trick that she gives in this book. and every single trick will blow your mind :-)

Very insightful!

This book was very informative and extremely accurate! All its examples and stories about work situations are so spot on and even funny! I recommend this book to basically anyone who has a boss and coworkers!

2nd book I've read from Leil Lawndes. Worth it!

I read both the small talks book and this one and they both were great had new information and absolutely love them. I use the insights I've gained from them everyday. Thank you so much for writing them Leil!

Audible Book - How to Talk to Anyone at Work

I loved the audio book. I like being able to listen anytime is awesome over and over for what I missed the first time. Thank you Amazon!

Ok, but somewhat basic.

Very similar to her other book, how to talk to anyone - 92 little tricks for big success in relationships, but not as useful. All pretty obvious and basic 🙁
