Hey - I'm Dave,
Fifeteen years ago, my personal tutor looked at me in the eye and said "Dave, your communication skills suck"!
And guess what? He was right...I could not persuade, be likable, foster trust, or hold a sensible conversation.
But thankfully he gave me a PDF copy of Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. That small book made such a huge difference in such a short time that it sparked an obsession—I suddenly wanted to absorb every book, journal, and course on communication I could get my hands on.
Little did I know that devoting myself to learning this skill would be my ticket to major career success.
It has helped me land major projects (my first major win was a £4,000,000 project in my first three months of work), mediate sensitive construction disputes, and remedy the firm's previously broken client relationships.
Here I will teach you everything I have learned.
Enjoy :)
