Story
In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.

This inattention has spread to every part of life. The average attention span has shrunk from 12 seconds in 2000 to eight in 2012. So, throw them a lifeline and be brief.

Full of generalities, short on substance
Connie Dieken had me at the introduction but lost me after an hour of failing to deliver on any of the hype indicated in the introduction. Whatever she had to say, she said it in the introduction. She didn???t deliver on the tease. She ???connected??? but failed to ???convey??? or ???convince???, to use her own words.
She name dropped Bill Clinton, Dr Ruth, and Jack Welch, but didn???t talk about them. She said you need to connect, convey and convince, but didn???t say how. The examples she gave were general and artificial in nature and not real-world. She may have actually done the research she claims to have done, but she is not a practitioner the method she promotes.
She did talk about the importance of candor. So, candidly, I think it???s not worth the time.

I'm better off with Carnegie
Long story short, I think this book may provide you with some value if you haven't read Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" (and if you're ok with the narrator's smug and cutesy tone). If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend reading (listening to) that instead of this book. If you already read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" I recommend you to re-read (re-hear) it before re-considering buying "Talk less, say more".

Pay attention and take Notes
Review of Talk Less Say More
By Connie Dieken
Warren Buffet is one of the richest men of our time, he is not just a good investor, he has impeccable communication skills. Being good at our craft without the communication package can cause the souffle to collapse and then it makes little difference that we have the best ingredients in it. It is all about how we fold it in and that is what ‘Talk Less Say More’ is about, it is that delicate folding in of our message.
We live in a very busy, information overload, attention deficit world where so much is vying for people’s attention. Bevity is the name of the game in this world and this simple book with useful tips teaches us how to serve it in small doses. Some of what Connie said are pretty obvious but I don’t think we lose out by being reminded of the basic communication tips such as how to cut out waffling, front loading our presentation, using story telling to get our point across, rule of three etc.
Like anything in life, if we take communication for granted, pay no attention to our delivery, assume we are good we fail to make the necessary impact but when we invest our time and put some effort we become better and impactful communicators. Connie Dieken in Talk Less Say More helps to get our voice and message to the top of the pack.
It boils down to connect, convey and convince.
This book reminds me of Dale Carnegie ‘s Book (How To Win Friends and Influence people) in it's seemingly simplicity yet effective strategies. Atimes it is those simple things in life that makes or breaks us. When we realise these Strategies are used by renowned communicators like President Bill Clinton, one of the richest men of our times Warren Buffet, civil rights extraordinaire activist Martin Luther King Jr then it is time for us to sit up, pay attention and take notes.
