[Introduction] Tips for people who are not good at conversation to enjoy talking with people
Life would be better if I could speak better…
Have you ever thought so?
If you picked up this book, you must be one of those people who feels the same way.
In fact, many people have a complex about how to speak. You are not alone. Therefore, I would like to start with the conclusion.
how to have a good conversation is
“Avoid talking to people you don’t like, and spend more time talking to people you love.”
Only this.
If you learn what this book teaches, you will definitely be a better speaker. With that alone, the troubles of human relationships that you have been worried about,
“What the hell was that?”
It will disappear so much that you want to tilt your neck.
And by conversing with someone you love, you become good at speaking. Not only people but also opportunities and money gather around you who are liked by people.
People who get their money out of the way they speak don’t do very much. I just have this “slight difference” that anyone can wear.
Just a question here.
What kind of person is a good talker for you?
Does it mean a person who communicates fluently, such as a comedian, a storyteller, or an announcer?
Or maybe someone who does a good job of getting people involved in their presentations at work?
Unfortunately, what I’m going to tell you in this book is not how to become those people who talk like water to the board.
It’s more mundane.
It is a way to smooth relationships with people close to you, such as your workplace, family members, friends, spouses, lovers, and community members.
Communication in everyday situations occupies a large part of our lives, rather than giving public presentations or the chances of encountering such a situation.
No matter how great your know-how is, it is meaningless unless you can use it in your daily life.
Conversely, good communication in everyday life will enrich your life. The people around you will become your allies and will work for you. When I was 26 years old, I started out as a takoyaki shop on a 3-tsubo scale, but I have had countless experiences in my life where I have made mistakes in my speaking style.
I will leave the details to the main text (p. 52), but looking back, I was always saying what I wanted to say and causing trouble for the staff and the people around me. My life changed dramatically just by changing the way I spoke.
Imagine the people around you, not to mention my own story.
Isn’t there someone who is turning enemies around with a small word? Isn’t there anyone who loses out by missing a word?
“Why is this person saying this here?”
“Why didn’t you say that important thing here?”
One word can change your future.
And the turning point is not on the big stage, but on how you speak in small parts of everyday life.
People are the most invisible to themselves.
I hope that you, who have encountered this book, will become a person who can talk about important things at the right time. With that in mind, I wrote it.
These days, speech classes are prospering to the extent that students everywhere are waiting.
This is a sign that there are many people who are worried about how to speak. However, no matter how much you learn the technique of simply speaking words, unfortunately it doesn’t work.
that is,
“Because the people listening to you are listening to you in a holistic way, not just the words that come out of your mouth.” is.
If you want a technique with only words, I do not recommend this book. Look for other books that write things like “this is how it works”. However, if you want to learn “how to speak” from the very beginning, this is the perfect book for you.
Because I believe it will change your life forever.
Once again, I affirm.
People can change 90% of their lives just by changing the way they speak. ● Contents
