| Excellent advice for all kinds of situationsAuthor Frances Cole Jones doesn't pull any punches -- she tells it exactly how she sees it. And if some of her advice isn't pretty, it can save people from all kinds of "foot-in-the-mouth" situations.
I highly recommend giving this book to college students as well as others farther along in their career paths. What they don't know can hurt them -- and following the advice of this book can be a shield from some of that hurt.
--- Phyllis Zimbler Miller, co-founder of Miller Mosaic Power Marketing
awesome readHow to Wow: Proven Strategies for Selling Your Brilliant Self in Any Situation is a really good read.
It's a book giving you worthwhile advice on how to present yourself in the world of occupations. I agree with the other reviewers that the book feels more like a list of steps involved in helping you succeed, along with feeling a ton of confidence in yourself.
Books like these are important for younger people to read. I think teenagers should really take advantage of this book and read over it several times and really grasp the significance of reaching your potential so when you're out in the real world, you'll be fully prepared.
It covers so much ground that it's pretty important to read it several times just to remember all the useful steps involved. Buy it now.
Easy To Follow Advice"How to Wow" is a clearly articulated guide book for presenting yourself as if you are someone that has their sh!% together. Of course, Frances would probably frown on my swearing in her review.
The book covers everything from public speaking to one on one introductions to resume writing, and job interviews.
I actually had some short presentations over the past few days (perfect timing for picking up the book) and the tips and techniques made significant differences. I even had one person comment that public speaking "must just come naturally", which is laughable to anyone who knows me.
Some of the reviewers have pointed out that much of the advice is common sense, and it is. However, just because it's common sense doesn't mean we are practicing these rules.
There are plenty of new nuggets mixed in with reinforcing basics to make this book a must-read for anyone looking to succeed.
Great tips!I decided to pick up this book because I am very shy when meeting new people. Naturally, I get nervous when speaking in front of groups, even if it's just three or four other people.
There were some items that I have heard of before...where to put your name tag, order similar items for a business lunch/dinner, don't order alcohol if your host doesn't, etc. However, the author presented this information in a humorous manner, making the book easy to read!
There were a lot of tips and ideas that I had never heard of. After only reading the book once, it is hard to remember everything you read, so after reading it again, I feel I will be better equipped to implement some of the strategies. I've always had trouble figuring out how to introduce myself to strangers at a networking event, but this book has some basic ideas how to do that...it is common sense, but most of us don't think logically!
I liked the book, and I will be re-reading it soon.
Jones Gives Excellent Advice For Everyday PeopleNo matter what you do in life, HOW TO WOW has something for everyone. It is not possible to go through life and try and succeed at whatever you are doing without some form of direction or even thought of the journey you are about to take. Regardless of your job or task, Frances Cole Jones outlines how you can make the most of every day, every experience and reap the rewards for being prepared.
Product Description“The invaluable advice in How to Wow guarantees your success in any meeting situation, from the boardroom to the breakfast table.”
–Keith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone
In today’s fast-paced world, where an elevator ride with your CEO can turn into an impromptu meeting, your lunch date can become a job interview, and your conversation at a cocktail party may be a preamble to a potential business merger, knowing how to market yourself in any situation is vital. Corporate coach Frances Cole Jones has helped numerous CEOs, celebrities, and public personalities present their best selves on camera and onstage, in boardrooms and in person; now in her new book, How to Wow, she shares her strategies for making your mark in business and in life.
Every encounter, Jones believes, provides you with an opportunity to positively influence colleagues, employers, neighbors–even competitors. Not only your words, but your tone of voice and your body language speak volumes. The question, however, is: Are they working together to say what you want them to, as effectively as possible?
Inside, you’ll learn how to
• leave a lasting impression with a simple introduction
• effectively employ the twelve most persuasive words in the English language and command the stage, boardroom, or lunch table
• read nonverbal responses accurately–and shift negative ones immediately
• motivate your team under deadline
• interview fearlessly and flawlessly
• write the perfect pitch, résumè, cover letter, or e-mail
• deliver speeches that bring people to their feet
• transform a PowerPoint presentation into a powerful success
With easy-to-follow advice, amusing anecdotes, and immediately employable hints, Jones’s guidelines can keep you cool (even in hot water). From asking the right questions to giving the right answers, How to Wow will provide you with the confidence to be calm and commanding in all you do and to wow anyone anywhere anytime.
