About this audiobook

"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!

    This is a good book for anyone looking to expand their abilities in being able to talk to others. The author also had some great advice at the end. I feel it is important to read, How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie before you read this. Mainly because the author references his works quite a few times throughout the book. Enjoy!

    There is a couple of useful advice. However, I can't stand this awful style of doing almost everything to APPEAR, SOND LIKE, MAKE THEM BELIEVE instead of actually being better educated, more empathetic and so on.

    I don’t usually read this kind of literature but this one is an exceptional one. I highly recommend it to anyone. And it doesn’t matter if you are a big cat in the business or a housewife. We all need those lessons.

    Brilliantly crafted with techniques I can use straight away! Some of which I was already using and some that I knew made perfect sense which I have to try! Very little theory and chitchat, straight down to practical techniques. Well written and clearly narrated! Many thanks Leil!

    This book is a collection of incredible tips and tricks to ease the way of communication with anyone in any situation. Some may find ít hard to correlate with their life. Just focus on the highlights and not only the examples. This book is for everyone. Yet some chapters may not be eligible for your personality.

    Not bad. Nothing earth shattering but good tips. If you have listened to these type of books before some of it will be redundant. It does have good reminders on tips you should be incorporating into your daily routine. Be prepared for the references that indicate it was written by a person of a certain age of a certain time.

    A wee outdated, but a good listen overall. There are some good ideas on bettering yourself as a communicator. I’m always interested in these authors and what their revisions might sound like in today’s world.
