Engage: A Practical Guide to Understanding, Influencing and Connecting With People

by Duncan Fish

Many highly skilled professionals find that, after a few years in their industry, their career starts to hit a ceiling. It’s not a lack of technical skills that’s holding them back but a lack of people skills. These days, just being highly skilled at your job is not enough. You also need to be able to connect with, influence and lead people.
If you’re in this situation, this is the book for you. Using his proven ENGAGE Model, Executive Coach Duncan Fish will show you how
prepare mentally for social encounters
make an awesome first impression
master the art small talk and never run out of things to say
project authority and confidence with your body language
influence using a variety of linguistic techniques
develop and deepen mutually beneficial relationships
be a leader who empowers and inspires others.
It’s time to stop sitting on the sidelines. It’s time to stop missing out on life’s opportunities. It’s time to Engage.

I read Engage as a companion to the Engaging Executive Program. The program formalises the exercises in Engage and provides a framework for being accountable. Engage is a valuable resource for technical specialists looking to be better executives either as a stand alone resource or as a companion to the formal program.

From rather 'geeky', shy, 6' 7" teenager to dating coach to expert in NLP and confident communications, Duncan has a great story to tell here. You'll find all sorts of useful tips, analogies and practical advice in this book. He's a natural narrator (I listened to the audio version), and keep your ears peeled for his story about his 'romantic' weekend in Paris ;>)
