What makes someone charismatic? Why do some captivate a room, while others have trouble managing a small meeting? What makes some ideas spread, while other good ones fall by the wayside? If you have ever been interrupted in meetings, overlooked for career opportunities or had your ideas ignored, your cues may be the problem – and the solution. Cues – the tiny signals we send to others 24/7 through our body language, facial expressions, word choice, and vocal inflection – have a massive impact on how we, and our ideas, come across. Our cues can either enhance our message or undermine it. In this entertaining and accessible guide to the hidden language of cues, Vanessa Van Edwards teaches you how to convey power, trust, leadership, likeability, and charisma in every interaction. You’ll learn:   •  Which body language cues assert, “I’m a leader, and here’s why you should join me.”   •  Which vocal cues make you sound more confident   •  Which verbal cues to use in your résumé, branding, and emails to increase trust (and generate excitement about interacting with you.)   •  Which visual cues you are sending in your profile pictures, clothing, and professional brand.   Whether you're pitching an investment, negotiating a job offer, or having a tough conversation with a colleague, cues can help you improve your relationships, express empathy, and create meaningful connections with lasting impact. This is an indispensable guide for entrepreneurs, team leaders, young professionals, and anyone who wants to be more influential. * This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing charts and exercises.

Title: Making Numbers Count: The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers Author: Chip Heath, Karla Starr Narrator: Kathe Mazur Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 35 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: A clear, practical, first-of-its-kind guide to communicating and understanding numbers and data—from bestselling business author Chip Heath. How much bigger is a billion than a million? Well, a million seconds is twelve days. A billion seconds is…thirty-two years. Understanding numbers is essential—but humans aren’t built to understand them. Until very recently, most languages had no words for numbers greater than five—anything from six to infinity was known as “lots.” While the numbers in our world have gotten increasingly complex, our brains are stuck in the past. How can we translate millions and billions and milliseconds and nanometers into things we can comprehend and use? Author Chip Heath has excelled at teaching others about making ideas stick and here, in Making Numbers Count, he outlines specific principles that reveal how to translate a number into our brain’s language. This book is filled with examples of extreme number makeovers, vivid before-and-after examples that take a dry number and present it in a way that people click in and say “Wow, now I get it!” You will learn principles such as: -SIMPLE PERSPECTIVE CUES: researchers at Microsoft found that adding one simple comparison sentence doubled how accurately users estimated statistics like population and area of countries. -VIVIDNESS: get perspective on the size of a nucleus by imagining a bee in a cathedral, or a pea in a racetrack, which are easier to envision than “1/100,000th of the size of an atom.” -CONVERT TO A PROCESS: capitalize on our intuitive sense of time (5 gigabytes of music storage turns into “2 months of commutes, without repeating a song”). -EMOTIONAL MEASURING STICKS: frame the number in a way that people already care about (“that medical protocol would save twice as many women as curing breast cancer”). Whether you’re interested in global problems like climate change, running a tech firm or a farm, or just explaining how many Cokes you’d have to drink if you burned calories like a hummingbird, this book will help math-lovers and math-haters alike translate the numbers that animate our world—allowing us to bring more data, more naturally, into decisions in our schools, our workplaces, and our society.

Title: Creative Conflict: A Practical Guide for Business Negotiators Author: Bill Sanders, Frank Mobus Narrator: Barry Abrams Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 9 minutes Release date: October 12, 2021 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Almost everything is negotiable. And in no field is this clearer than in business, where every day we work with others to get things done. But when we have real differences, is win-win always possible? Over the last half century, two opposing philosophies have ruled the field of negotiation: the win-lose, tooth-and-nail approach of training guru Chester Karrass; and the win-win, 'principled' creed of Getting to Yes, developed by Roger Fisher and William Ury. But neither approach fully meets the challenge of today's volatile, disruptive, ultracompetitive business environment, where strategic problem-solving is of critical importance. In Creative Conflict, negotiation experts Bill Sanders and Frank Mobus provide something new. They use a dynamic, dialectical approach to show how negotiations are driven by competition and cooperation at the same time. They believe that when we tiptoe around conflict, we negotiate in a half-hearted way that limits our results. By contrast, creative negotiators probe and push until they hit a wall of disagreement, and then they figure out how to get past it. The authors construct a clear and useful framework based on three distinct negotiating contexts: Bargaining, Creative Dealmaking, and Relationship Building.

The global workforce today is so fried that it belongs in the food court of a county fair. We’re relentlessly behind the curve, dousing fires everywhere, and our 3 a.m. insomnia provides the only unscheduled thinking time of the day. What we need reinserted in our lives is the missing element of white space—short periods of open, unscheduled time that, when recaptured, change the very nature of work. White space is the stepping back, the strategic pause, the oxygen that allows the sparks of our efforts to catch fire. White space has the power to radically—and simply—reinvent the way we approach work in this maxed-out, post-COVID 21st-century world. With Juliet’s memorable stories, easy-to-use tools, and razor-sharp instruction, she carves for us an escape route from the overwhelming amount of low-value tasks and the daily avalanche of e-mails, meetings, decks, and reports.

Author: Naomi Bagdonas, Jennifer Aaker Narrator: Naomi Bagdonas, Jennifer Aaker, Michael Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 5 minutes Release date: February 2, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.05 of Total 19 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 4 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: WALL STREET JOURNAL, LOS ANGELES TIMES, AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Anyone—even you!—can learn how to harness the power of humor in business (and life), based on the popular class at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.   Don’t miss the authors’ TED Talk, “Why great leaders take humor seriously,” online now. “The ultimate guide to using the magical power of funny as a tool for leadership and a force for good.”—Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of When and Drive We are living through a period of unprecedented uncertainty and upheaval in both our personal and professional lives. So it should come as a surprise to exactly no one that trust, human connection, and mental well-being are all on the decline.   This may seem like no laughing matter. Yet, the research shows that humor and laughter are among the most valuable tools we have at our disposal for strengthening bonds and relationships, diffusing stress and tension, boosting resilience, and performing when the stakes are high.    That’s why Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas teach the popular course Humor: Serious Business at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where they help some of the world’s most hard-driving, blazer-wearing business minds infuse more humor and levity into their work and lives. In Humor, Seriously, they draw on findings by behavioral scientists, world-class comedians, and inspiring business leaders to reveal how humor works and—more important—how you can use more of it, better. Aaker and Bagdonas unpack the theory and application of humor: what makes something funny, how to mine your life for material, and simple ways to identify and leverage your unique humor style. They show how to use humor to rebuild vital connections; appear more confident, competent, and authentic at work; and foster cultures where levity and creativity can thrive. President Dwight David Eisenhower once said, “A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.” If Dwight David Eisenhower, the second least naturally funny president (after Franklin Pierce), thought humor was necessary to win wars, build highways, and warn against the military-industrial complex, then you might consider learning it too.

Title: Let's Talk: Make Effective Feedback Your Superpower Author: Therese Huston Narrator: Therese Huston Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 34 minutes Release date: January 26, 2021 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: A game-changing model for giving effective feedback to peers, employees, or even your boss--without offending or demotivating. How are you supposed to tell someone that they're not meeting expectations without crushing their spirit? Regular feedback, when delivered skillfully, can turn average performers into the hardest workers and stars into superstars. Yet many see it as an awkward chore: Recent studies have revealed 37% of managers dread giving feedback, and 65% of employees wish their managers gave more feedback.   This trail-blazing new model eliminates the guesswork. Dr. Therese Huston, the founding director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Seattle University, discovered that the key to being listened to is to listen. First, find out what kind of feedback an employee wants most: appreciation, coaching, or evaluation. If they crave one, they'll be more receptive once their need has been satisfied. Then Huston lays out counterintuitive strategies for delivering each type of feedback successfully, including:   - Start by saying your good intentions out loud: it may feel unnecessary, but it makes all the difference. - Side with the person, not the problem: a bad habit or behavior is probably less entrenched than you think. - Give reports a chance to correct inaccurate feedback: they want an opportunity to talk more than they want you to be a good talker.   This handbook will make a once-stressful ordeal feel natural, and, by greasing the wheels of regular feedback conversations, help managers improve performance, trust, and mutual understanding.

Title: [Spanish] - ¡Sí, de acuerdo!: Cómo negociar sin ceder Author: Bruce Patton, William Ury, Roger Fisher Narrator: Javier Gómez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 46 minutes Release date: December 18, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: ¡Sí, de acuerdo! ofrece una estrategia comprobada, paso a paso, para llegar a acuerdos aceptables entre las partes en cada tipo de conflicto. Y brinda a los lectores un método directo y aplicable universalmente para negociar disputas personales y profesionales sin enojarse ni ser engañados. Desde hace casi treinta años, ¡Sí, de acuerdo! ha ayudado a millones de personas a aprender una mejor manera de negociar. Este texto primordial en el mundo de las organizaciones se basa en el trabajo del Harvard Negotiation Project, un grupo que se ocupa de todos los niveles de negociación y resolución de conflictos. Hace una generación, la idea que prevalecía en muchos lugares acerca de la toma de decisiones era mayormente jerárquica. Se suponía que las que decidían eran las personas en la cima de la pirámide del poder -en el trabajo, en la familia, en la política-, y que las personas en la base obedecían órdenes. Por supuesto, la realidad siempre fue mucho más compleja. En la actualidad, caracterizado por las organizaciones horizontales, la innovación más rápida y la explosión de internet, está más claro que nunca que, al hacer nuestro trabajo y cubrir nuestras necesidades, a menudo nos apoyamos en una docena, cientos o miles de individuos y organizaciones sobre las que no ejercemos control directo. Simplemente no podemos confiar en dar órdenes, ni siquiera cuando tratamos con empleados o niños. Para conseguir lo que queremos, estamos obligados a negociar.

Title: Reinforcements: How to Get People to Help You Author: Heidi Grant Narrator: Randye Kaye Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 6 minutes Release date: December 17, 2020 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Humans have a natural instinct to help others. Imagine walking up to a stranger on the subway and asking them for their seat. What about asking a random person on the street if you could borrow their phone? If the idea makes you squeamish, you're not alone—social psychologists have found that doing these very things makes most of us almost unbearably uncomfortable. But here's the funny thing: even though we hate to ask for help, most people are wired to be helpful. And that's a good thing, because every day in the modern, uber-collaborative workplace, we all need to know when and how to call in the cavalry. However, asking people for help isn't intuitive; in fact, a lot of our instincts are wrong. As a result, we do a poor job of calling in the reinforcements we need, leaving confused or even offended colleagues in our wake. This pragmatic book explains how to get it right. With humor, insight, and engaging storytelling, Heidi Grant, PhD, describes how to elicit helpful behavior from your friends, family, and colleagues—in a way that leaves them feeling genuinely happy to lend a hand.

Title: The Narrative Gym: Introducing the ABT Framework For Messaging and Communication Author: Randy Olson Narrator: Randy Olson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 40 minutes Release date: November 13, 2020 Genres: Language Instruction Publisher's Summary: The Narrative Gym by Dr. Randy Olson presents a new model for messaging and communication. It's a short, practical guide to the ABT Framework (And, But, Therefore) which needs to be on the desk of everyone crafting a message, essay, strategy, novel, campaign, proposal, presentation, screenplay, argument, joke, ballad, report … pretty much all communication. There is no other book on the ABT Framework. There is no other analytical model for narrative structure like the ABT Framework. This is a new and unique resource. The ABT seems like something from elementary school and at its core is as old as the ancient Greeks, but the formulation only began less than a decade ago. The original insights for this communication model come from Hollywood screenwriting. The importance of the three words (And, But, Therefore) began with legendary screenwriting instructor Frank Daniel of the U.S.C. School of Cinematic Arts who in a 1986 speech first talked of replacing the word “and” with either “but” or “therefore” to strengthen the narrative content of a text. This was propagated by his students, then articulated by the co-creators of the animated series, “South Park,” in a 2011 documentary. Randy Olson formulated the ABT Narrative Template (“ AND BUT THEREFORE ”) in his 2013 TEDMED Talk, and his 2015 book, “Houston, We Have A Narrative.” It is at the heart of how humans have communicated for thousands of years. You can see it in the Gettysburg Address, nursery rhymes, argumentation, comic structure, myths, the billion-viewed “Call Me Maybe” song from Carlie Rae Jepsen, the 1600’s poem “To His Coy Mistress,” blockbuster movies — on and on. It's at the core of everything memorable because it is narrative itself. The bottom line is: You’ve got something to say AND you know it’s important, BUT you’re having trouble boiling it down to its powerful and essential core, THEREFORE you need the ABT Framework.

Title: Failure to Communicate: How Conversations Go Wrong and What You Can Do to Right Them Author: Holly Weeks Narrator: Rosemary Benson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 10, 2020 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Your stomach's churning; you're hyperventilating—you're in a badly deteriorating conversation at work. Such exchanges, which run the gamut from firing subordinates to parrying verbal attacks from colleagues, are so loaded with anger, confusion, and fear that most people handle them poorly: they avoid them, clamp down, or give in. But dodging issues, appeasing difficult people, and mishandling tough encounters all carry a high price for managers and companies—in the form of damaged relationships, ruined careers, and intensified problems. In Failure to Communicate, Holly Weeks shows how to master the combat mentality, emotional maelstrom, and confusion that poison difficult conversations. Drawing on her many years as a consultant and coach to leaders and executives, the author explains: why we turn to ineffective tactics when the heat is on; how to avoid the worst pitfalls of difficult conversations, and how to pull yourself out if you fall in; ways to regain your balance and inject respect into stressful conversations, even when you've been confronted, infuriated, or wronged; strategies for mitigating aggression and defensiveness, and for clearing the fog of misconceptions; and how to get through the hardest conversations with your reputation and relationships intact.

Title: You First: Inspire Your Team to Grow Up, Get Along, and Get Stuff Done Author: Liane Davey Narrator: Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 24 minutes Release date: October 8, 2020 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Team dysfunctions are discouragingly prevalent throughout most businesses as there are so many ways a team can go wrong. Sometimes the results of team dysfunction are relatively innocuous. The team might just be a little slower or a little less rewarding than you would like.  But in too many teams, the problems are more severe.  People find themselves dreading a job they used to enjoy because their teammates are bickering, or rejecting new ideas, or simply not pulling their weight. This book presents new ideas and processes for increasing team effectiveness. The author proposes that a healthy team needs two basic things: first, team members need to bring diverse talents and perspectives into alignment around the unique value they can add for the organization. Second, they need to trust each other enough to engage in productive conflict. The book addresses the 5 most common ways in which teams become toxic and destroy any chance of creating the value the organization is counting on them to produce.  Then, it spells out the antidotes to those dysfunctions that will protect teams from self-destructing.  Finally, it concludes by instructing team members on the language they can use to begin to change their team.  Designed for front line employees, middle managers, executives teams, or anyone who works regularly in teams, the book helps you figure out how to make your team more productive.

Und wie uns die Krise hilft, den Anschluss doch noch zu schaffen. Author: Thomas Middelhoff, Cornelius Boersch Narrator: Dominic Kolb Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 23 minutes Release date: October 6, 2020 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Die Corona-Krise hat es gezeigt – Deutschland kann plötzlich doch digital: Homeoffice, eLearning, Videokonferenzen, virtuelle Konzerte.

Title: Start with No: The Negotiating Tools That the Pros Don't Want You to Know Author: Jim Camp Narrator: Robert Jordan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 58 minutes Release date: September 29, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.38 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: Start with No offers a contrarian, counterintuitive system for negotiating any kind of deal in any kind of situation—the purchase of a new house, a multimillion-dollar business deal, or where to take the kids for dinner. Think a win-win solution is the best way to make the deal? Think again. For years now, win-win has been the paradigm for business negotiation. But today, win-win is just the seductive mantra used by the toughest negotiators to get the other side to compromise unnecessarily, early, and often. Win-win negotiations play to your emotions and take advantage of your instinct and desire to make the deal. Start with No introduces a system of decision-based negotiation that teaches you how to understand and control these emotions. It teaches you how to ignore the siren call of the final result, which you can’t really control, and how to focus instead on the activities and behavior that you can and must control in order to successfully negotiate with the pros. The best negotiators: * aren’t interested in “yes”—they prefer “no” * never, ever rush to close, but always let the other side feel comfortable and secure * are never needy; they take advantage of the other party’s neediness * create a “blank slate” to ensure they ask questions and listen to the answers, to make sure they have no assumptions and expectations * always have a mission and purpose that guides their decisions * don’t send so much as an e-mail without an agenda for what they want to accomplish * know the four “budgets” for themselves and for the other side: time, energy, money, and emotion * never waste time with people who don’t really make the decision Start with No is full of dozens of business as well as personal stories illustrating each point of the system. It will change your life as a negotiator. If you put to good use the principles and practices revealed here, you will become an immeasurably better negotiator.

Title: Skills That Succeed Author: Russell Collins Narrator: Russell Collins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 20 minutes Release date: September 2, 2020 Genres: Communication Skills Publisher's Summary: With over 40 years' experience in the industry, Russell Collins knows that the top professional advisers are successful because of their persuasive talents. Through the exercise of these talents, they encourage people to reach decisions that they know are best, but about which they would prefer to procrastinate. Russell also believes that there is a major flaw in the training of new advisers entering the industry. Within the training process, there is an over-emphasis on product and technical knowledge and a severe under-emphasis on communication skills. Skills that Succeed is about the basics of selling risk insurance, especially life insurance. The common denominator in each of these basics is 'communication,' especially as it relates to: • The importance of preparation: how can you separate yourself from your competitors from the outset? • The fact-finding meeting: What do you say after you say, 'Hello?' • The importance of the file note, and what to do with the information in the file note. • How to assemble and make great presentations. • How to get the case through underwriting. • Specific sales concepts for both the personal and business owner markets. There is a danger that many who are new to the industry may believe that the more qualifications an adviser possesses, the more successful they will become. But this is not the case. Success is based on communication, which is an art, not a science.

Title: I Have Something to Say: Mastering the Art of Public Speaking in an Age of Disconnection Author: John Bowe Narrator: Mark Feuerstein Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 7 minutes Release date: August 11, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: A veteran journalist discovers an ancient system of speech techniques for overcoming the fear of public speaking—and reveals how they can profoundly change our lives. In 2010, award-winning journalist John Bowe learned that his cousin Bill, a longtime extreme recluse living in his parents’ basement, had, at the age of fifty-nine, overcome a lifetime of shyness and isolation—and gotten happily married. Bill credited his turnaround to Toastmasters, the world's largest organization devoted to teaching the art of public speaking. Fascinated by the possibility that speech training could foster the kind of psychological well-being more commonly sought through psychiatric treatment, and intrigued by the notion that words can serve as medicine, Bowe set out to discover the origins of speech training—and to learn for himself how to speak better in public. From the birth of democracy in Ancient Greece until two centuries ago, education meant, in addition to reading and writing, years of learning specific, easily taught language techniques for interacting with others. Nowadays, absent such education, the average American speaks 16,000 to 20,000 words every day, but 74 percent of us suffer from speech anxiety. As he joins Toastmasters and learns, step-by-step, to successfully overcome his own speech anxiety, Bowe muses upon our record levels of loneliness, social isolation, and political divisiveness. What would it mean for Americans to learn once again the simple art of talking to one another? Bowe shows that learning to speak in public means more than giving a decent speech without nervousness (or a total meltdown). Learning to connect with others bestows upon us an enhanced sense of freedom, power, and belonging.
