Title: The Soulful Art of Persuasion: The 11 Habits That Will Make Anyone a Master Influencer Author: Jason Harris Narrator: Jason Harris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 51 minutes Release date: September 10, 2019 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: The Soulful Art of Persuasion is a revolutionary guide to becoming a master influencer in an age of distrust through the cultivation of character-building habits that are essential to both personal growth and sustained business success. This isn’t a book full of tips and life-hacks. Instead, The Soulful Art of Persuasion will develop the habits that others want to be influenced by. This book is based on a radical idea: Persuasion isn’t about facts and argument. It’s all about personal character.   Jason Harris, CEO of the powerhouse creative agency Mekanism, argues that genuine persuasion in the twenty-first century is about developing character rather than relying on the easy tactics of flattery, manipulation, and short-term gains. It is about engaging rather than insisting; it is about developing empathy and communicating your values. Based on his experience in and out of the boardroom, and drawing on the latest in-depth research on trust, influence, and habit formation, Harris shows that being persuasive in a culture plagued by deception means rejecting the ethos of the quick and embracing the commitment of putting your truest self forward and playing the long game. Through instructive and entertaining stories, Harris lays out the 11 habits that will guide readers to become authentically persuasive, including • Earning respect through collaboration • Becoming the person others want to be around • Practicing generosity through gestures big and small Persuasion today is about personal excellence, sharing the stage, and respecting other people’s motivations. In The Soulful Art of Persuasion, Jason Harris shows us the way. The 4 principles and 11 habits discussed in The Soulful Persuasion are included in the bonus PDF that accompanies this audiobook.

Title: Flip the Script: Getting People to Think Your Idea Is Their Idea Author: Oren Klaff Narrator: Oren Klaff Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 17 minutes Release date: August 13, 2019 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 13 Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PITCH ANYTHING IS BACK TO FLIP YOUR ENTIRE APPROACH TO PERSUASION. Is there anything worse than a high-pressure salesperson pushing you to say 'yes' (then sign on the dotted line) before you're ready? If there's one lesson Oren Klaff has learned over decades of pitching, presenting, and closing long-shot, high-stakes deals, it's that people are sick of being marketed and sold to. Most of all, they hate being told what to think. The more you push them, the more they resist. What people love, however, is coming up with a great idea on their own, even if it's the idea you were guiding them to have all along. Often, the only way to get someone to sign is to make them feel like they're smarter than you. That's why Oren is throwing out the old playbook on persuasion. Instead, he'll show you a new approach that works on this simple insight: Everyone trusts their own ideas. If, rather than pushing your idea on your buyer, you can guide them to discover it on their own, they'll believe it, trust it, and get excited about it. Then they'll buy in and feel good about the chance to work with you. That might sound easier said than done, but Oren has taught thousands of people how to do it with a series of simple steps that anyone can follow in any situation. And as you'll see in this book, Oren has been in a lot of different situations. He'll show you how he got a billionaire to take him seriously, how he got a venture capital firm to cough up capital, and how he made a skeptical Swiss banker see him as an expert in banking. He'll even show you how to become so compelling that buyers are even more attracted to you than to your product. These days, it's not enough to make a great pitch. To get attention, create trust, and close the deal, you need to flip the script.

Or tried to reason with your partner with disastrous results? Do long, rambling answers drive you crazy? Or does your colleague's abrasive manner get your back up? You are not alone. After a disastrous meeting with a highly successful entrepreneur, who was genuinely convinced he was 'surrounded by idiots', communication expert and bestselling author, Thomas Erikson dedicated himself to understanding how people function and why we often struggle to connect with certain types of people. Originally published in Swedish in 2014 as Omgiven Av Idioter, Erikon's Surrounded by Idiots is already an international phenomenon, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide, of which over 750,000 copies have been sold in Sweden alone. It offers a simple, yet ground-breaking method for assessing the personalities of people we communicate with - in and out of the office - based on four personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow), and provides insights into how we can adjust the way(s) we speak and share information. Narrated by David John, Erikson will help you understand yourself better, hone communication and social skills, handle conflict with confidence, improve dynamics with your boss and team, and get the best out of the people you deal with and manage. He also shares simple tricks on body language, improving written communication and advice on when to back away or when to push on, and when to speak up or indeed shut up. Packed with 'aha!' and 'oh no!' moments, Surrounded by Idiots will help you understand and influence those around you, even people you currently think are beyond all comprehension. And with a bit of luck you can also be confident that the idiot out there isn't you! © Thomas Erikson 2019 (P) Penguin Audio 2019

Owens, Sonia R. Banks, Linda D. Anderson Narrator: Bahni Turpin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 42 minutes Release date: May 7, 2019 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Silent Agreements will help readers define the unspoken beliefs and expectations that might be causing dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and resentment in their relationships, giving them the tools to explore these agreements and work toward healthier communication with a partner, friend, boss, or family member. If you have relationships, you've likely been part of silent agreements. Silent agreements are the implicit 'rules' of your relationships that arise from unspoken beliefs and expectations that both parties hold, stemming from your earliest experiences and reinforced as you mature. They can sound something like 'The person who makes more money should pay for the dates,' or 'My boss doesn't offer me a raise, and he knows I won't ask for one.' These agreements can hinder your relationships, remaining undiscussed due to fear, aversion to conflict, feelings of obligation, or guilt. Because expectations so rarely line up and neither person will address the issue, a silent agreement can cause unhappiness and resentment on both sides. Clinical psychologists Drs. Anderson, Banks, and Owens will help you explore your agreements and work towards healthier communication with a partner, friend, boss, or family member. In the process, you'll learn more about your own motivations and how to dismantle the the beliefs that don't serve you. With guidelines and advice on how to have productive conversations about sex, money, commitment, family, the workplace, and health, this book will help you lift the silence and resolve those land-mine issues before they do irreparable damage.

Title: Networking Express Author: Knowit Express, Laura Stafford Narrator: Knowit Express Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 34 minutes Release date: July 20, 2018 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Know How to Network with People for Business, Career, and Success The art of networking needs no introduction - you already know just how important it is and if you don't, you will eventually experience first-hand as to why it's so vital - but the inner-working of networking does need introduction because not a lot of people know how to do it, for essentially that's what networking is...introducing yourself and meeting people who could potentially help you. To get what you want and be successful in this day and age, you need to connect with others, and to do that...you must network! If the thought of networking makes you queasy, perhaps you just never quite got along with people, didn't fit in back in school or only cared about being around those at the top of the popularity pole. For the sake of networking, you must put all these aside. Networking requires you to take a mature acceptance of other people. In the real world, you must try to get along with everybody. They could be your new friend who introduces you to the right people to jump-start your career, your new boss who offers you a better job opportunity, your new investor who bankrolls your business startup, etc. You will never know who that one person might be to give you that lucky break, if you're unable to approach them with open arms to begin with. The issue then becomes how to network effectively. It's no longer a one person's road to success. We're all interconnected striving for the same purpose of improving our lives. Let others help you get there and you help them as well by networking.

Title: First Impression Express Author: Knowit Express, Alice Young Narrator: Knowit Express Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 40 minutes Release date: July 19, 2018 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Know How to Charm and Connect with People Upon Meeting Them, and Create a Lasting Impression Do you get butterflies in your stomach whenever you enter a room full of people? Do you become nervous with the thought of having to engage with a fellow stranger? Do you sweat like a pig at any attempt of connecting with others? Don't worry, you're not alone! This is all too common. It's normal that we all want to make a good first impression upon other people. Why? Because the first impression is the last impression you'll get in determining whether you make a new friend, attract a business partner, land a prospective client, etc. But why are we so afraid of this all-dreaded first impression, and with getting it right? It's because of the fear of failure in messing it up. Nobody likes to be humiliated and feel embarrassed in the presence of others with the risk of being rejected, being as painful as inflicted physical pain. Don't blame yourself for this; it's not your fault you feel these kinds of emotions. We are biologically fearful of being ostracized from a group because of the lesser chance of survival back in ancestral days being the one-man tribe. That's why we need to connect with others but at the same time are fearful to do so. Good news is, if you aren't the most attractive person or know how to make a good impression right now, you can easily learn to charm the living daylight out of anybody and get people to like you upon meeting them to make a positive lasting impression that will linger within their minds long after the interaction is over using common cues and simple strategies. With any first impression, you only get one shot at it! So don't mess it up. Make it count the first time around.

By mastering business storytelling, they achieve extraordinary business results. As a modern-day leader, you know you should develop this skill, but you don't have the time to do this in an ad-hoc way. What you need is a practical, reliable method to follow, one that will allow your business to reap the benefits of storytelling as soon as possible. In Putting Stories to Work, Shawn Callahan gives you a clear process for mastering business storytelling. He demolishes the thinking that storytelling has no place at work, reminding us that sharing stories is what we all do naturally, every day, and that it's one of the most powerful tools for getting things done. You just need to adapt this natural superpower to boost your business. Shawn's story mastery process of Discover, Remember, Share and Refresh is based on over two decades' work with high-achieving global companies. In Putting Stories to Work, each step is spelled out in detail, backed up by research, and, needless to say, illustrated by plenty of great stories. Learn how to find and share stories to connect with new people. How to explain why change is needed. How to influence opinions and promote success. And much more. Most importantly, learn how to take the latent skill of storytelling and turn it into a potent business habit. Imagine your colleagues telling the story of how you took the most diverse and opinionated group of experts and had them all working towards the same goal. Or the one about how you persuaded the executive team to change their minds and got a great result for the business. Or the one where everyone got inspired and turned things around. Imagine that your people all know exactly what the company strategy is and how they're making a difference to the organisation. As the successful film executive Peter Guber put it: 'Storytelling is not show business. It's good business'.

Title: How to Achieve Success With Body Language Author: James David Rockefeller Narrator: Weston Gritt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 21 minutes Release date: November 21, 2017 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Almost all of us look for nonverbal cues about what the other person is thinking or is about to say or how they are feeling. We often estimate correctly whether the person in front of us is lying or telling the truth. In fact, we often use the other person's gestures and body language to ascertain whether he or she can be trusted or not. This is what body language is all about. Simply put, body language is just the language of the body. People often think that they show emotions only through their face or through their facial expressions. But that is not the truth. While facial expressions do play a huge role, actually our entire body participates in showing or hiding our mental and emotional state. If there is something you would like to hide, you would not just need to control what you say or do, but you would also deal with the body's own unconscious cues. If you want to make a good first impression and you are nervous, your body could actually let you down. This guide is aimed at helping you understand what body language is and how you can use it to your own advantage. It will teach you that you can learn to read the non-verbal unconscious cues of others and be able to know more about them than what they reveal. You will also learn how you can control your own non-verbal cues to reveal exactly what you want and nothing more than that. Let's just begin learning this new language.

Title: We Need to Talk: How to Have Conversations That Matter Author: Celeste Headlee Narrator: Celeste Headlee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 11 minutes Release date: September 19, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.43 of Total 7 Ratings of Narrator: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: “WE NEED TO TALK.” They are, perhaps, the most dreaded four words in the English language. But in her timely, insightful, and wonderfully practical audiobook, We Need to Talk, Celeste Headlee—who earns a living by talking on the airwaves of National Public Radio—makes the case that they are urgently needed. Today most of us communicate from behind electronic screens, and studies show that Americans feel less connected and more divided than ever before. The blame for some of this disconnect can be attributed to our political landscape, but the erosion of our conversational skills as a society lies with us as individuals. And the only way forward, says Headlee, is to start talking to each other. In We Need to Talk, she outlines the strategies that have made her a better conversationalist—and offers simple tools that can improve anyone’s communication. For example:  - BE THERE OR GO ELSEWHERE. Human beings are incapable of multitasking, and this is especially true of tasks that involve language. Think you can type up a few emails while on a business call, or hold a conversation with your child while texting your spouse? Think again. - CHECK YOUR BIAS. The belief that your intelligence protects you from erroneous assumptions can end up making you more vulnerable to them. We all have blind spots that affect the way we view others. Check your bias before you judge someone else. - HIDE YOUR PHONE. Don’t just put down your phone, put it away. New research suggests that the mere presence of a cell phone can negatively impact the quality of a conversation. Whether you’re struggling to communicate with your kid’s teacher at school, an employee at work, or the people you love the most—Headlee offers smart strategies that can help us all have conversations that matter.

Title: If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face?: My Adventures in the Art and Science of Relating and Communicating Author: Alan Alda Narrator: Alan Alda Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 14 minutes Release date: June 6, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.27 of Total 15 Ratings of Narrator: 4.6 of Total 5 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Award-winning actor Alan Alda tells the fascinating story of his quest to learn how to communicate better, and to teach others to do the same. With his trademark humor and candor, he explores how to develop empathy as the key factor. “Invaluable.”—Deborah Tannen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of You’re the Only One I Can Tell and You Just Don’t Understand Alan Alda has been on a decades-long journey to discover new ways to help people communicate and relate to one another more effectively. If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face? is the warm, witty, and informative chronicle of how Alda found inspiration in everything from cutting-edge science to classic acting methods. His search began when he was host of PBS’s Scientific American Frontiers, where he interviewed thousands of scientists and developed a knack for helping them communicate complex ideas in ways a wide audience could understand—and Alda wondered if those techniques held a clue to better communication for the rest of us. In his wry and wise voice, Alda reflects on moments of miscommunication in his own life, when an absence of understanding resulted in problems both big and small. He guides us through his discoveries, showing how communication can be improved through learning to relate to the other person: listening with our eyes, looking for clues in another’s face, using the power of a compelling story, avoiding jargon, and reading another person so well that you become “in sync” with them, and know what they are thinking and feeling—especially when you’re talking about the hard stuff. Drawing on improvisation training, theater, and storytelling techniques from a life of acting, and with insights from recent scientific studies, Alda describes ways we can build empathy, nurture our innate mind-reading abilities, and improve the way we relate and talk with others. Exploring empathy-boosting games and exercises, If I Understood You is a funny, thought-provoking guide that can be used by all of us, in every aspect of our lives—with our friends, lovers, and families, with our doctors, in business settings, and beyond. “Alda uses his trademark humor and a well-honed ability to get to the point, to help us all learn how to leverage the better communicator inside each of us.”—Forbes “Alda, with his laudable curiosity, has learned something you and I can use right now.”—Charlie Rose
