And more rewarding relationships. Connie Dieken had me at the introduction but lost me after an hour of failing to deliver on any of the hype indicated in the introduction. Whatever she had to say, she said it in the introduction. She didn???
She said you need to connect, convey and convince, but didn??? The examples she gave were general and artificial in nature and not real-world. She may have actually done the research she claims to have done, but she is not a practitioner the method she promotes. She did talk about the importance of candor. So, candidly, I think it??? I learned a lot and enjoyed the read. There is insight from a media professional in this little gem of a book.
And it's delivered by a trained pro. Chris Reich. Long story short, I think this book may provide you with some value if you haven't read Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and if you're ok with the narrator's smug and cutesy tone.
If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend reading listening to that instead of this book. If you already read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" I recommend you to re-read re-hear it before re-considering buying "Talk less, say more". Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This is an informative and. A personal component. You feel like she's speaking from the heart and not just from. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes and I did listen to it in. Very practical. I use concept from this book apply to my communication with patients and their family. We truly are an ADD society, this book gives you 3 principles to focus you on being a better communicator.
I loved this book and the delivery of the author. This was a good read, The advice was very sound. I found that many of the things the authored conveyed where common sense, but things that might never have been put into practice without the reminder. Very impactful book. This book helped me understand how I loose credibility by being to wordy when dealing with internal and external customers.
I was so impressed I recommended to my close friends. A wonderful book!! A must read. Add to Cart failed. Thoughtful gestures will help, definitely. What a title! If you can't think of such a day, do not worry, you are only human. Read this book. Martin Luther King was planned spontaneity. Jul 19, David rated it it was ok.
The premise of this book is to learn how to communicate effectively in a short attention span world. The three primary tools are to connect, convey, convince. I thought this would be helpful because I'm the type of detailed person with a long attention span. I add too many details for most people. I listened to the audio book and was very disappointed in the delivery of the content.
While the actual content is ok, Ms. Dieken is a professional communicator and talks like a TV reporter. I don't wa The premise of this book is to learn how to communicate effectively in a short attention span world. I don't watch much television, so when I hear reporters - usually tune them out to listen to average people talk. You see, I like hearing the author's enthusiasm about their book in their own words and tone. You can hear it in their voice as they read their book.
Dieken has had that edge "polished" out of her voice. Her voice is not bad, it just does not have the edge some of the other books have; dare I say, overproduced. Oct 20, Sue Chappell rated it really liked it. Very Profound. It's about how to speak and influence people to pay attention. In a way Dec 28, Jim rated it liked it.
Great concepts. Anyone who's moved from an engineering or technical background to marketing or people facing must read this book. I Don't listen to the audio book, Connie's exuberant acting grows tiresome. This book has some good insights for communication within the corporate work field - a place where I no longer find myself.
With that said, though it didn't much pertain to me anymore, it did have some good tips for me to use generally in all aspects of communication in my life. Easy fast read.

Connect - Convey - Convince 3Cs to remember :'D Minus point: advises and tips are too general sometimes are just commonsense , failed to "convey" the ideas and "convince" readers how to act upon. You need to read it slowly because she is very compact with her writing.
Jul 22, Ruchi Nigam rated it really liked it. My rating for the book is partially biased towards the first of 3 C's- Connect mentioned by author. While we might be knowing the things which work, explicitly reading them made sense to me.
My expectation on last part I. The steps mentioned were too generic and mainly focused on body language. Nevertheless a good short read which can act as a reminder to many known facts.
