Book Reviews of The Best Kept Secrets of Great Communicators: Nine Secret Weapons to Shine Socially, Uncover Opportunities, and Be Perceived as Smarter, Sharper, and Savvier

Book Review: Great advice, poor accent
Summary: 4 Stars

These best kept secrets aren't very well kept secrets, because I knew most of them already. I heard some of these secrets from other sources before I heard them from Peter Thomson. However, they are great communication skills and they do work. I just didn't like Peter Thomson's low-pitched English accent and voice very much. I found it hard to concentrate on what he was saying even when I was using some of his listening techniques. I had to turn the volume way up and the bass way down on my car stereo in order to digest what he was saying. Maybe his book would be better for me. Overall, it's a very good audio cd if you can stand to listen to it. (4.5 stars)

Summary of The Best Kept Secrets of Great Communicators: Nine Secret Weapons to Shine Socially, Uncover Opportunities, and Be Perceived as Smarter, Sharper, and Savvier

When we investigate the most powerful and influential people in the world, we discover that they all have something in common: effective communication. Using the principles of powerful communication, they developed the ability to influence others in a profound way, all the while winning both respect and admiration.

The powerful art of persuasion and effective communication extends beyond mere words. Body language, intention, positioning, and other factors play a significant part. Peter Thomson helps make the unconscious aspects of communication conscious and maximizes our persuasive powers so that we can become more charismatic and influential communicators.

In The Best-Kept Secrets of Great Communicators, you will learn:

  • Active listening techniques and the impact they have on enhancing your personal and professional relationships

  • How to handle difficult communication situations with effectiveness

  • The hidden power of questions that can turn challenging situations into winning achievements

  • How to be more confident and persuasive in any endeavor that you pursue

  • Body language -- how to spot whether people are lying or telling the truth
