Leading by Listening: Connecting through Conversation to Transform Your Relationships and Your Business

0/5 ( ratings)

The compliment that award-winning talk show host and best-selling author Tavis Smiley hears most, from both guests and viewers/listeners, is about his ability to get people to open up and share. Granted, he’s been developing this art form for years—but the point is he learned how to do it, and so can others. This book will be based on the methods Tavis has employed to conduct amazing conversations with thousands of people for 25 years. He will share the strategies he has used to create conversation that helps people relax, get comfortable, open up, offer insights, share secrets, and disclose information that they never intended to reveal.

Who’s got the time or patience for small talk these days? Not most people. This book reveals the secret sauce for how to conduct conversations at work, home, or play that are rewarding, not draining. Readers will discover ways to connect with the humanity in people through civil conversation that’s never condescending, conversation that’s always insightful and never insulting.
Chapters include:
Finding the Sweet Spot - how to make people comfortable in conversation
It’s A Conversation, Not an Interrogation - how to make people feel less defensive
What Are You Trying to Prove - how to make the conversation about them, not you
Connect the Dots - how to make the conversation seamless, not disjointed and circuitous
Body Talk - how to read body language cues and let your posture speak effectively for you
Don’t Drop the Bomb on Me - how to prep for a difficult conversation
and more
