Publisher's Summary

Have you ever felt like you're talking, but nobody is listening? Renowned five-time TED Talk speaker and author Julian Treasure reveals how to speak so that people listen - and how to listen so that people feel heard. As this leading sound expert demonstrates via interviews with world-class speakers, professional performers, and CEOs at the tops of their fields, the secret lies in developing simple habits that can transform our communication skills, the quality of our relationships, and our impact in the world. Julian Treasure offers an inspiring vision for a sonorous world of effective speaking, listening, and understanding.

Communication skills, secrets, and tips discussed in this book include - how to make sound work for you to improve well-being and happiness; why listening matters and how listening and speaking affect one another; the power of your vocal toolbox and how to build your speaking power; how to plan and structure content so you always hit the bull's-eye; exercises and methods to achieve clarity and impact; and how to deliver like a professional speaker to win over any audience.

Definitely worth a listen

It is a longer file so you would assume to listen as background noise but a lot of the audio book is not splitting focus. Very fascinating the way it is presented.

Excellent Communication Audiobook!

I loved this book, its content, its insight, I am sure other people have said this pun, but I have too as well. Julian is a Treasure for our world and this topic was not only inspiring for me as a sales person but as a musician, an audio engineer and human being. I enjoyed the fabulous interviews at the end. I must say that one of the interviews audio quality was bad but the content rose above it!

Makes you think

Very interesting stuff. Makes you think about how you need to listen before you can be heard.

Unexpected learnings

I chose this book for one desired personal development outcome and came away with so much more. I find many books touch on one topic or stay at a higher surface level but this one was a true exploration into the topic, engaging and interesting. I was very impressed.
