About this listen
Does your mind go blank every time someone tries to talk to you?
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You avoid events because the thought of small talk makes you feel sick.
- You stand in rooms full of people feeling completely invisible.
- You replay conversations for hours, torturing yourself over what you should have said.
- You turn down opportunities because they involve networking or socializing.
You need specific techniques for specific moments when your brain stops working. That's what this book provides.
Inside this book, you'll uncover:
- The eight-second breathing pattern that stops your voice from shaking before approaching someone
- Why waiting more than three seconds to speak makes your mind go blank (and the countdown that forces you to act first)
- The conversation cheat code therapists use when they don't know what to say next
- The exact phrase that gets you back into group conversations after 10+ minutes of silence
- How to join conversation circles without feeling like you're interrupting
- The follow-up question pattern that makes people light up and want to keep talking
- Why asking strangers for help is 10x more effective than trying to be interesting
- The 60/30/10 conversation formula that creates chemistry on first dates (most people get this backwards)
And much more!
