About this listen

As the founder and CEO of the management training organization Executive Essentials, Michelle Tillis coaches and trains leaders to experience continual growth and achieve results through the power of collaboration, communication, and relationships. In 11 Laws of Likability, she presents activities, self-assessment quizzes, and real-life anecdotes from professional and social settings to show listeners how to identify what's likable in themselves and use those characteristics to build connections with other professionals.

The worst thing anyone can do when trying to establish a personal bond with someone is to come across as manipulative or self-serving. That's why Michelle focuses on the power of authentic connections, which go much deeper and feel much easier than trying to hit self-imposed business card collection quotas. This audiobook presents a new paradigm that shows even the most networking-averse how to network well - and maybe even enjoy the process. You'll discover how to start conversations and keep them going with ease; convert acquaintances into friends; uncover people's preferences; tweak your personal style to enable engaging, reciprocal interactions; and leave a lasting impression on others after your initial meeting. We all know that networking is important, and that forming relationships with others is a vital part of success. But traditional forms of networking often remove emotions from the equation - focusing only on immediate goals. This audiobook teaches listeners how to build the kind of deep relationships that have true staying power, bring genuine joy, and provide long-term support.

Tables and self-assessment quizzes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Michelle takes us into a labyrinth of details, littered with references to "what you'll learn in other chapters", with each chapter plying the listener with watered down repetitive story based examples that never quite flick on any cognitive light switches.

The listening experience is a bit like eating a dry sponge cake - very little icing, difficult to swallow and leaves you wanting to drink.

Diluted, dry and lengthy

Couldn't get through it. Long, boring, and repetitive. Maybe it gets better, but I didn't want to waste any more time with it. I didn't learn anything.
