How to Talk Effectively: A Practical Guide to Speak Your Mind Clearly and Influence People Indirectly

Improving your “small talk” skills is something many people never even consider. That can be a big mistake, especially if you want to get the most out of your interactions with others in your day-to-day life. The truth is that the great majority of all discussion consists of minor chitchat and cordialities. Think of it as the necessary framework supporting all meaningful exchanges.

Small talk is therefore a subtle yet critical part of effective verbal communication, and plays a major role in the impressions you leave upon people. Without proper attention to it, you could end up sabotaging yourself on the more important matters as a result.

This book will help you perfect the art of chitchat until it becomes second-nature. For many communication students, this is the final piece of the puzzle needed to turn one into a master conversationalist. At the very least, becoming confident in your ability to engage in small talk will make conversation more enjoyable and increase fulfillment in your social life. But the potential rewards are so much more far-reaching, both professionally and personally, that it is well worth the relatively small effort to attain.

 - Ways to captivate a listener

 - The proper role of emotion in making a personal connection

It is a talent that will grow with you, and pay lifelong dividends in ways you have yet to imagine.

How to Master Small Talk: A Practical Guide to Improve Your Conversations and Talk to Anyone About Anything

When it comes to effective communication, a wise man once advised, “Be quick to listen and slow to speak.” If ever there was a time to employ such advice, it is today. In our modern society we are conditioned from youth to expect constant distractions and interruptions. The result is an ever-shortening attention span which is potentially detrimental to our relationships, both social and professional.

Employers, love interests, friendships, and even casual business relationships can all be scuttled when someone senses that the person they are speaking to is not fully attentive. This is a more serious problem than most people realize. When a drifting mind starts to become a habit during conversations, you will find people respecting you less and less.

The good news is this behavior can be corrected. In this book you will learn easily-adaptable techniques for focusing and remaining fully-engaged in a way that will allow you to extract the most from your conversations. The people you talk with on a daily basis will perceive that you are paying attention, and, most importantly, that you actually care. When that happens, your relationships will take on a whole new dimension, bringing a deep level of fulfillment and opening new opportunities in all areas of your life.

Topics covered include:

 - The difference between active and passive listening

 - How to tune into nonverbal cues

 - Achieving self-directed mindfulness for staying engaged

 - Identifying and overcoming your natural barriers to active listening

 - Tips and tricks for cultivating a “listening mindset”

 - Recognizing your own biases and assumptions, and learning to thwart them

 - Exercises for improving your overall attentiveness
