Publisher's summary

The most effective leaders know how to connect with people. It's not about power or popularity, but about making the people around you feel heard, comfortable, and understood.

While it may seem like some folks are just born with a commanding presence that draws people in, the fact is anyone can learn to communicate in ways that consistently build powerful connections. Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, helps you succeed by revealing Maxwell’s Five Principles and Five Practices to develop this crucial skill of connecting, including:

  • finding common ground
  • keeping your communication simple
  • capturing people's interest
  • How to create an experience everyone enjoys
  • staying authentic in all your relationships.

Your ability to achieve results in any organization - be it a company, church, nonprofit, or even in your family - is directly tied to the leadership skills in your toolbox. Connecting is an easy-to-learn skill you can apply today in your personal, professional, and family relationships to start living your best life.

Now I Know What I Was Doing Wrong!

From the moment the narrator begun, his tone was pleasant and made listening a pleasure, I just wish it would of lasted longer. I will for sure seek out any other books, audibles or online courses. What I really liked was the questions I need to ask myself before I try and connect. Excellently Book! Thank you

teaching that changes lives

I have been listening and applying this book at the same time. In the process I've changed my mindset and approach to people as a result. Instead of seeing them as leeches, people who steal my, energy, I see and approach them as people of great worth. I'm genuinely seeking to add value to their lives. As a result, I'm being transformed as a leader and person. I'm developing more credibility in my relationships across the board. Great book.

This book can change your life for the better

This book should be a must read book for everyone.

As always, John Maxwell communicates one big idea through stories, examples and even a few jokes.

You can find great tips on how to connect instead of just communicate and why should you care.

Great insight

Overall another great tool in our toolbox of self improvement. John Maxwell provides great insight as to some of the barriers we put up, but don't recognize that we. Start connecting.
