Publisher’s Summary
“You’ll not only break the ice, you’ll melt it away with your new skills.” -Larry King
“The lost art of verbal communication may be revitalized by Leil Lowndes.” -Harvey McKay, author of How to Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive
What is that magic quality that makes some people instantly loved and respected? Everyone wants to be their friend (or, if single, their lover). In business, they rise swiftly to the top of the corporate ladder. What is their “Midas touch?”
What it boils down to is a more skillful way of dealing with people.
The author has spent her career teaching people how to communicate for success. In her book How to Talk to Anyone, Lowndes offers 92 easy and effective sure-fire success techniques – she takes the listener from first meeting all the way up to sophisticated techniques used by the big winners in life. In this information-packed audiobook you’ll find:
- 9 ways to make a dynamite first impression
- 14 ways to master small talk, “big talk,” and body language
- 14 ways to walk and talk like a VIP or celebrity
- 6 ways to sound like an insider in any crowd
- 7 ways to establish deep subliminal rapport with anyone
- 9 ways to feed someone’s ego (and know when NOT to!)
- 11 ways to make your phone a powerful communications tool
- 15 ways to work a party like a politician works a room
- 7 ways to talk with tigers and not get eaten alive
In her trademark entertaining and straight-shooting style, Leil gives the techniques catchy names so you’ll remember them when you really need them, including: “Rubberneck the Room,” “Be a Copyclass,” “Come Hither Hands,” “Bare Their Hot Button,” “The Great Scorecard in the Sky,” and “Play the Tombstone Game,” for big success in your social life, romance, and business.
How to Talk to Anyone, which is an update of her popular book, Talking the Winner’s Way (see the 5-star reviews of the latter) is based on solid research about techniques that work!
By the way, don’t confuse How to Talk to Anyone with one of Leil’s previous books, How to Talk to Anybody About Anything. This one is completely different!

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
3/5 stars — “Ho Hum”
The suggestions are often too general to be helpful. Some situations are hardly believable. Advice is more appropriate for business relationships than personal relationships.— C. Sanderson, Audible listener
3/5 stars — “Boring”
Has a lot of tips, 85% of them cringe-worthy. Some are useful. Contributions could be summarized in a brochure.— Lorenzo Duque, Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Not what I expected but that’s okay”
This book was an impulse buy. It’s not going to change your life but you might pick up a one or two good tips.— Landon, Audible listener
