Conversation Power: Communication for Business and Personal Success

Rate this book
MASTER THE LANGUAGE OF SUCCESS!
Whether you're selling, persuading, advising or explaining, you spend most of your dayto-day life in verbal communication with others. The skills you bring to those exchanges will determine whether they go in your favor -- or leave you behind as others succeed. If you can't communicate your ideas or intentions, you can't expect others to understand them; on the other hand, the better you can make yourself understood, the higher your chances for climbing to the top.
Renowned communications expert James K. Van Fleet guides you through the most effective verbal communications strategies available today. Whatever the situation, your mastery of these basic communication skills can give you an instant powerful advantage.
Imagine yourself:

Striking up a conversation with anyone
Making lasting friendships from initial meetings
Negotiating the services you need from anyone
Enhancing crucial communications lines between employees, colleagues, vendors, and supervisors.

From business meetings to romantic encounters, artful communication can help make almost any situation go right. With Conversation Power, you'll be able to communicate your way to success!

هذا الكتاب دليل عملي، سهل في لغته و في قراءته، فمن مميزاته أنه يضع ملخصًا لكل فصل في نهايته و يبدأ كل فصل بالأهداف المرجو تحقيقها بعد قراءته.
أنصح بقراءته كمادة "تدريبية" في مجال التواصل الإنساني، و أن يتم إلزام طلاب الجامعات بل وحتى الثانوي بقراءته و تلخيصه.
يُمكن العودة لهذا الكتاب مرارًا كما أشار الكاتب، به - كما هي العادة في كتب التنمية البشرية وتطوير الذات - قصص حقيقية محددة وواضحة و مُوَظّفة بشكل ممتاز لتخدم الهدف من إيرادها.
أنصح بقراءته و لكن عدم التعمق بقراءة كل حرف فكثير من المعلومات يتم تكرارها في الأغلب الفصول للتأكيد على المعلومة الاهم التي يريد الكاتب إيصالها:
- كل إنسان يريد أن يكون مهما فإذا أردت أن تنجح في تواصلك مع الآخرين امنحهم أهمية
- الإنصات ثم الإنصات ثم الإنصات

قراءة ممتعة :)

بالمختصر الكتاب بيقول
انصت. ثم انصت. ثم انصت
الانصات لانك خلقت بأذنين
ولسان واحد
والاذن. تسمع بلا انقطاع
ام اللسان يتنظر. ما يمليه عليك الضمير والعقل ىيتأثر بالتنفس. والحاله الصحيه
اسمع اكثر. ماتتكلم. بنسبه عشره الي. واحد

A Pleasant Book, Easy to read, Hard to Master!!!!

This book expresses important issues, skills, and points with examples and sufficient explanations to express so that the reader can better understand the author's principle and concept. In my opinion, it is necessary to review the book and practice and try to implement the points stated in this book, and it will have a significant impact on all aspects of a person's life in the future.

Having read it quite a number of years ago, I remember thinking it was OK but not much else. Neither can I seem to be able to remember too many specifics about it. Obviously it wasn't awful, otherwise I would have remembered that, but neither was it good enough to burn a vivid image into my mind, so two stars is the most I can give it in hindsight.
