About this listen
From asking a waiter for an unusual substitution to urging a service manager to get your car finished sooner to swaying your significant other toward a particular film or show, many of the decisions you make are decided by talking. And no matter why you engage in face-to-face talk, there's no way to insulate yourself from the dangers of miscommunication.
These 24 mind-opening lectures are your chance to learn more about how you communicate verbally, the common problems you can encounter in doing so, and how you can improve your own effectiveness - especially by overcoming the psychological and biological hard-wiring that too often gets in the way.
Professor Kehoe offers a trove of practical techniques for successful communication, from everyday interactions in the home or workplace to managing your reactions and speaking effectively in conflict- and tension-laden situations.
You'll learn how early cultural learning and deeply learned patterns of reaction in our unconscious mind enhance or undermine your ability to communicate effectively; how your sense of self develops in everyday talk during your childhood; the specific styles of talking you use in most situations; and the basic techniques of perhaps the most important and neglected aspect of human conversation, the art of active listening.
When you consider the complexities of conversation, it's a wonder that things ever work out as well as they do. But with the knowledge, strategies, and skills offered by this course, that hard-to-find effectiveness will be only a conversation away.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Unique experience. I will listen again.
This course is simply a diamond. #Audible1 allows us to be in the class. You experience the entire program and can come.back to it anytime. It's not easy because there are some elements that will take some time to apply at work and in life. Highly recommended.

Exceeded my expectations!
These lectures are incredibly useful in the workplace and at home. This will make you be a more mindful communicator and with practice it will help you say the things you truly feel in a non-confrontational way.

It does not keep the progress
Progress keeps resetting, I gave up listening to it after multiple times. I even contacted the support and it didn't help. I don't know if it's an issue with this audio book content or and Audible issue
