ABOUT THIS BOOK

Learn how to adapt, win people over, and handle just about any social situation.

The world is not a meritocracy—a startling realization for most, but a happy epiphany for those with people skills. Technical skills can almost always be learned, but people skills are rare and valuable. Your qualifications and intelligence aren’t what will take you forward in life. People skills (soft skills, interpersonal skills, social skills and likeability) will. They allow you to effortlessly glide through life and roll with the punches, as well as maximize the situations you’ll find yourself in. When your relationships are harmonious and authentic, the whole world opens up. 

How to Become the Ultimate People Person is a book of action that allows you to truly understand others and speak their language, no matter what it is. It will fundamentally change your approach to others and you’ll instantly understand where you’ve gone wrong. It goes beyond social intelligence and gives you a blueprint to the psychology of people. Whether it’s winning at work politics, making new friends or strengthening current relationships, people skills are your quickest and surest route to success—no matter the situation. Bestselling international author and sought-after social skills coach and trainer Patrick King tells you why the value of ‘just fitting in anywhere’ cannot be understated.

With this book, you will learn:

  • How to build trust, create emotional depth and cultivate intimacy
  • How our assumptions and mindsets create social self-sabotage
  • Everything we must do before we ever open our mouths
  • The keys to intentional listening and validation
  • The core components of getting past small talk
  • How to gain great self-awareness of your interpersonal habits
  • The toxic, annoying habits that are probably repulsing people right now
  • How to create massively successful relationships anywhere

How to Become the Ultimate People Person will open doors for your life in a way that nothing else can.
