Business English Meeting

You meet someone new and in a matter of seconds they make up their mind about you. They're responding to your presence: what people see when they look at you, what they hear when you speak, and how they feel when they're around you. If you're not thrilled with the responses you're getting - if you don't attract clients the way you'd like to...if you didn't get the promotion you wanted...if you don't make the money you ought to be making - it may very well be because you're missing that powerful presence.

If you think you ought to say something, the chances are extremely favorable. This is an instance in which it makes sense for you to speak up. You'll learn from those encounters and get better at training yourself to know when it's time to speak up. This book will teach you how to build confidence to deal with anyone, whether it's family, friends, or coworkers. We all know that having good communication skills can be the difference between success and mediocrity.
