Trust Me

"Every communication is two conversations: the verbal one¿the content¿and the nonverbal one¿the body language. If the two are aligned, you can be a persuasive, authentic communicator. You may even come across as charismatic. If the two are not aligned, people believe the nonverbal communication every time."¿From the IntroductionIn this book, acclaimed communications coach Nick Morgan shows how you can become an effective, charismatic speaker by communicating with authenticity and respect for your audience. Trust Me presents a four step process (which Morgan perfected while teaching at Harvard) that enables you to find your own best personal communication style to maximize your persuasiveness and presence. This proven process works whether you re speaking to a group or in a one on one conversation.As Morgan explains, we are all unconscious experts in reading each other s body language. When words and body language are in conflict, we believe the body language every time. This makes conscious efforts to change our unconscious behavior difficult. Even momentary lapses are perceptible to the audience. The key to success is to train your body language to unconsciously align with your message. Trust Me outlines the four steps to communication success:

• Openness
• Connection
• Passion
• Listening

In addition, the book offers an in depth analysis of the research that underlies the four step process and includes tips for controlling fear when communicating.At a time when there is little tolerance for hype and spin, this book offers a practical, clear guide for becoming a persuasive and authentic communicator.
