“I wanted to email you and say I avoided it because of the feminine branding but you need to add a line that says MEN PICK THIS UP! I didn’t realize how much energy I was wasting on being worried about small talk until I read this. It’s practical, funny, and makes a ton of sense. Very easy read. I used the same day at a networking event and made so many new contacts without forcing it, thank you!. You breaks everything down in such a simple way without trying to change who we are. So many books go deep into changing the way your brain is wired or useless info like that. Really recommend this book for everyone, should be taught in communications classes!”

“The introduction alone made me realize this book was going to be different, and I loved it. It’s not preachy or patronizing, and it doesn’t waste pages on fluff or useless information. She shares her embarrassing stories in a way that makes you feel less alone in your own awkward moments. What really sets it apart is how clearly she explains what to do, what not to do, and why, using language so simple it finally easily clicks. It’s surprisingly deep, incredibly easy to understand, and something you’ll use forever in both work and real life. Highly recommend. All 3 of us have read and use it!”

“Finally! Someone explained the rules everyone else seems to know. I actually use it daily with Mom groups, at school events, you name it! Such great ice breaker energy for starting and holding a convo. The author also holds your attention with the best humor! I’ve read a lot of books about confidence and communication, and this is the first one that put it bluntly enough to understand it and the first one not 200 pages long. I finished it feeling calmer, not pressured, which is not how these books usually leave me. I brought this to a favorite things party at Christmas! ”

“When it comes to social anxiety books, this is a breath of fresh air. She doesn't tell you to change, she tells you how to succeed despite it. This felt like sitting next to a friend who finally explains things without making you feel stupid. It’s honest, funny, and incredibly practical. I have a PhD myself, but never had the gift of talking easily. I caught myself nodding along to the entire guide and put it to use right away. It was very easy to use in life. I always have to make small talk with my patients and it is always SO awkward because I am not good at it whatsoever. This guide saved me (and my patients!). I am looking forward to when she launches her other volumes!"

“I saw her speak at our college last year and she was so full of energy and genuinely helpful that I started following her right away. When this launched, I downloaded it immediately. I own a small business where casual conversation is a daily and honestly dreaded part of the job. I read it once and then bought copies for my employees the same week. She is just as real in person as she is in this book and knows her stuff. I highly recommend seeing her if you have the chance and def. to download this book.”

“I came across her randomly, watched her speak, and immediately felt like she actually knew what she was talking about. Not in a polished, rehearsed way, just real and helpful. I followed her, grabbed this as soon as it launched, and ended up reading it in one sitting because is short and to the point. I run a small business where small talk is unavoidable and usually painful, and this made it noticeably easier for me and my team. I don’t know her personally at all, but I trust her. And I don’t say that lightly.”
