Publisher's summary

The most effective leaders know how to connect with people. It's not about power or popularity, but about making the people around you feel heard, comfortable, and understood.

While it may seem like some folks are born with a commanding presence that draws people in, the fact is anyone can learn to communicate in ways that consistently build powerful connections. Bestselling author and leadership expert John C. Maxwell offers advice for effective communication to those who continually run into obstacles when it comes to personal success.

In Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, Maxwell shares five principles and five practices to develop connection skills including:

  • finding common ground;
  • keeping your communication simple;
  • capturing people’s interest;
  • how to create an experience everyone enjoys;
  • and staying authentic in all your relationships.

Your ability to achieve results in any organization is directly tied to the leadership skills in your toolbox. Connecting is an easy-to-learn skill you can apply today in your personal, professional, and family relationships to start living your best life.

Connecting across various platforms

Useful and insights strategies and tips for connecting across different environments- one on one, group, large audiences. I’ve already been able to use the tips in my speaking engagements and have drawn in the audience sooner and connected deeper. John Maxwell is truly a master at communicating and shares his secrets in this book. Must read

simple and easy enough

John is very practical in teaching. He talks of his strengths and weaknesses. He hires and surrounds himself with people that are better at his weaknesses so that they may help more people. John is an amazing person
