About this listen

"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!

I learned some great techniques

Really enjoyed listening to this audiobook . I have always struggled with my self confidence especially when I’m in unfamiliar situations. This book really gave me useful tips on how to start conversations with complete strangers. Have already used some of these. Thanks for a great self help book.

Learn to Communicate Like a 60-Year Old Female Real Estate Agent

This book is great if you are willing to put your personal values and character aside in the interest of impressing others.

You won’t find one of the rules outlined “Be Yourself.” Instead, learn to walk and talk like a duck, so others will think you are a duck. Got it!

Having said that, there are some principals in communication that are laid out nicely and they have given me some tips I’ve successfully incorporated in my life. Let’s face it, life is a stage.

Dated and very cliche

The book definitely has some good ideas but the cliches are rampant and the anecdotes are so unbelievable and tiring. Again, good information, just a cringeworthy listen. I didn’t mind the narrator though, one of the better parts of this audio book.

Not what I hoped

Although ideas were good, the tone was that of using others to your means. It seemed at every turn is was about how to get what you want not how to speak so that you have authentic relationships.
