Download The Art of Civilized Conversation: A Guide to Expressing Yourself With Style and Grace AudioBook Free
Inside our fast-paced, electronic population, the most basic social conversation - discussing face-to-face - can be a concern for even the most informed and self-assured individuals. Yet making discussion is an extremely practical skill: those who take action well sparkle at networking parties, interviews, and business lunches. Good discussion also opens doorways to a more comfortable love life, warmer friendships, and much more rewarding time with family. In The Art of Civilized Chat, creator Margaret Shepherd offers opening lines, elegant apologies, thoughtful questions, and, eventually, the confidence to use interactions beyond hello. From the basics - first impressions, appropriate subject material, and elegant exits - to finding the right words for difficult situations and an insightful discussion of body gestures, Shepherd uses her skilled vision and funny anecdotes to teach listeners how to carefully turn a plain discussion into an participating encounter. Filled with good sense and fresh insight, The Art of Civilized Chat is the perfect inspiration not only for what things to say but for how to say this with style.
