Do you find yourself holding back for fear of revealing too much or saying the wrong thing?  What can you do to make your conversations more real?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Tap into your intuition and speak from the heart.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drawing on the expertise of bestselling author and communication expert, Judy Apps, &lt;u&gt;The Art of Communication&lt;/u&gt; shows how to develop the ability to become a nuanced conversationalist - one who connects with others and is more fearless, more genuine, more engaging and more creative.  The author reveals how to communication in a meaningful way and:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-	Build closer relationships and create intimacy&lt;br /&gt;-	Overcome the artificiality and awkwardness of your interactions&lt;br /&gt;-	Converse successfully with people of different backgrounds&lt;br /&gt;-	Get more rewarding results from your conversations&lt;br /&gt;-	Operate from your intuition rather than with self-consciousness and control&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Art of Communication&lt;/u&gt; builds your confidence so you can converse from a place where being counts more than conventional skills, and an open heart brings connection and rewards you could only dream of before. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://quippe.dreamwidth.org/347917.html#cutid1"&gt;The Review (Cut For Spoilers):&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Verdict:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judy Apps is a communications expert and personal coach.  In this book she sets out techniques and suggestions for improving your communications skills to form genuine connections with people by encouraging you to move away from controlled conversational norms and rely on your intuition.  The spiritual and new age techniques won’t be for everyone  (and some weren’t for me) but I did get some good ideas, which I’ve put into practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=quippe&amp;ditemid=347917" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
