1. Skill Of Conversation by Jim Rohn (Audio Book) | Are you one of those who consider it an ordeal to orally present reports, preside in meetings with new clients, coordinate activities that require making arrangements with your counterparts in your sister companies? Would you rather read than go to parties? Do you find it difficult to start a conversation with anyone you meet for the first time?

Good conversation could promote friendships because sharing some things about you will make other people feel close and trust you. Another positive effect of being a good conversationalist is popularity and being liked because people have the impression that you are approachable. Other people will feel at ease in your company such that you shall be invited in many of their activities and this could widen your network of friends and business associates.
