Publisher's Summary

The Art of Communication is a collection of two guides that will help you to improve your relationships by developing your listening skills; stop trying to please everyone by learning how to say “No”.

Are you the kind of person who struggles to communicate effectively? Perhaps you’re not listening properly. Listening when others are talking is an art all of its own. It takes a special skill to take in what they are saying and then absorb it so that you can use the information appropriately. Failing to listen properly often results in us not doing what we want and going along with the wishes of others, often to our detriment.

Do you want to learn how to build and foster successful relationships just by improving your listening skills? 

Then keep reading!

Another struggle we sometimes face is being able to say “no”. Saying “no” isn’t always easy - but it’s often necessary. That’s true both at work and in personal relationships. When a colleague asks you to take on a project you don’t have the time or energy for, pushing back without leaving them feeling rebuffed is a valuable skill. It's okay to say no. There are many reasons why we should say no sometimes, and there are just as many reasons why we don't - and suffer for not doing so. Interestingly, the ability to say no is closely linked to self-confidence. People with low self-confidence and self-esteem often feel nervous about antagonizing others and tend to rate others’ needs more highly than their own. But you can easily increase your self-esteem.

Why is it so difficult to say the word “no”? How can you permanently stop trying to please everyone and start relying on your own decisions?

Here is what you will find inside The Art of Communication:
