CREATESPACE Communication Skills: A Practical Guide to Improving Your Social Intelligence, Presentation, Persuasion and Public Speaking

Loved reading it. Easy to read. Great examples that you can relate. Practical tips

Hi Ian I just want to say how impressed and inspired I was by this book. I've always been very introvert and extremely shy at school, and because of this it's made it hard over the years to communicate effectively. But this book changed that. I am now much more effective in my communication and am not afraid to present and talk to large groups of people.The tools you have given me have truly worked and I thank you for inspiring me to develop myself and better myself in day to day life.Thank you

I recently bought "Communication Skills Training", actually without expecting much of it, since I felt that the other comments didn't give much clear explanations. I needed to better my leadership skills, so I saw it as a repetition, with probably new arguments.And I'm glad I did. The concept of seeing things with different “lenses” alone was a very valuable one.Working with groups, I always (...try to) understand the other people's position, their agenda and abilities, but I missed to see the world through their glasses, their "filter"! Well, I didn't know better until that day, and I this book even contains a few more surprises of that caliber : )Another point that I really appreciate, is that the author does not pretend own The Truth. There are many variants of everything out there, and everyone has to get out and feel the rain…

As a person looking to communicate better in a wider variety of situations, this book was a good read. It was jammed packed with information and references to research. I particularly found helpful- learning the filters people see reality through. It really explained how people can have the same data and come up with different conclusions PLUS what to do about it.- the difficult people chapter. This helped me see that I was actually encouraging other people's bad behavior by not being assertive enough, taking it to personally, or caving for peace.- the networking chapter. The tips for how to get in and out of conversations was great.The book also expelled a lot of myths about communication such as a person is lying if they look to your left and that you need to talk a lot to be liked. I have been reading the correlating sections of this book every time I have a social event and I have seen improvement. This book will definitely stay at my desk.
