Description

When is the last time you had a catalytic conversation with an employee, a colleague, a friend, or a complete stranger? Is the best you can do just news, weather, and sports?

Whether in your workplace, church, local coffee shop, or your home there are people everywhere one conversation away from a life changing decision. The catalyst for friendship is being a witness to such moments. As you mature as a conversationalist your new skills will give you great ability to engage in dialogue and be invited to great levels of friendships along the way. However...

If you don't have the heart it limits your capacity
If you don't have the questions it limits your access

The Conversationalist will help you to develop the heart, ask the questions, and engage your relationships—changing your life and those around you. In an age driven by social media and virtual reality, we need practical tools to help take us relationships to the next level of trust, transparency, and real change for the good. There's an adventure waiting for those willing to step forward courageously as a conversationalist.

This book came to me at exactly the right time. As I was reading it I was evaluating friendships and the level of communication... it made me realize that there was something lacking in my relationships with friends and loved ones.

This is an amazing book. It opens your eyes to a whole deeper level of conversation and friendship. We have become so used to the superficial communication via social media or e mail, that we have forgotten what it really means to connect with someone. And I have to admit, as I was reading this book I realized I miss that deeper, true connection with friends and loved ones.

I read this book on my kindle, but I am still a bit old school. While I was reading I wanted to page back and make notes. And, yes, I know you can do all those things with e readers. I just sometimes miss pen and paper. I am going to buy a printed copy of this book, because this is a keeper. One that you want on your bookshelf for when you stray from the path....

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have been waiting for this book! Conversation is what all the books about your words and technology miss! We know the do's and don'ts but most people don't know how to put it all together! Supremely practical and a book I have a feeling I will come back to it again and again! Thanks!

I received a free, electronic copy of this self-help book from Netgalley, Russell Verhey, and Broadstreet Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review. Thank you, for sharing your hard work with me. I appreciate it.

And this book was an eye opener, from page one. Despite my many years, I have never simply sat back and studied the in's and out's of conversation as it wanders through my life. Russell Verhey has - and has shared with us the truisms he has refined from his studied experience. I would recommend this book to anyone in the social services, from pastors to police and everything in between. This is a book I will keep, and read again as needed.
