How to Read a Room : Navigate Any Situation, Lead with Confidence, and Create an Impact at Work

What if you could enter any room—a business meeting, a social situation, a conference, an interview—with complete confidence, knowing just what to say and how to act, yet still be 100 percent yourself? Sound impossible? It's not. It's not even complicated.

In How to Read a Room, communication expert Dr. Mike Bechtle shares his simple four-step process for accurately assessing any situation so that you can be comfortable, confident, and genuinely you. He helps you discover what's happening in a room before you ever say a word; connect and converse with anyone; develop listening skills, empathy, and social intelligence; build real relationships; understand when and how you're called to lead and to serve; and make a positive impact on every room you enter.

Whether you're an introvert who feels awkward or struggles with what to say, or you're an extrovert trying to be mindful of a tendency to take over conversations, this book will help you hit all the right notes and still be the unique person you were created to be.
