About this audiobook
This audio book is written for great leaders, parents, coaches and mentors who want to become great teachers. The Seven Laws of Learning examines why people like Confucius, Nelson Mandela, Jesus, Winston Churchill, Evita Peron, Mahatma Gandhi and other extraordinary leaders were able to teach new ideas in ways that not only engaged people but persuaded them to use their free will to bring about personal and global change.
Too many leaders forget the universal truth that messages-instead of being filled with facts and data-are most effectively communicated by storytelling, metaphor, and teaching that motivates and inspires. In the clutter of all of the data and discussion and PowerPoint slides and lists and handouts, too many leaders do little or nothing to capture the imagination and inspire us to improve, to grow and to change ourselves and our organizations in ways that matter.
When you understand and apply the age-old principles you'll learn from The Seven Laws of Learning, your leadership, parenting, coaching and working with others will be more effective, and you will reap the rewards that always accompany great teaching. And, you will have a more positive and lasting impact on those with whom you interact.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I’ve read very many communication books. This one was exceptional. My communication improved 40% in several months. That’s unheard of. My communication in many ways was already well advanced.
The biggest take away is to explicitly repeat to the other person whatever they were saying.
Before I would have a conversation about them, but I wouldn’t explicitly repeat whatever they were saying. I felt like it was weird to do, but after trying this well over a dozen times, it’s totally natural and creates amazing trust and a deeper connection.
Previously, I was only showing I heard them through asking more about it, I did not build as much trust. By simply repeating back what they’re experiencing and expressing, they become really satisfied and feel understood.
Only after they’ve said yes several times, elaborated on it a couple times do I ask another question.
I’m still not comfortable to change and talk about me, but will practice that in the upcoming week.
Absolutely great book.1 person found this helpful
