Speak Easy: Connect with Every Conversation

Written by Lou Diamond

Narrated by Lou Diamond, Adrienne Bankert and Isabelle McLeod-Daphnis

What if every conversation you had was a great one?

Sometimes, that promising lead turns out to be a bust. That first date doesn’t lead to a second. The sales pitch fails to land the client. But what if they could? What if you knew the steps to “set up” each conversation to increase the likelihood that you connect, engage and win?

Welcome to Speak Easy. Unlike prohibition-era speakeasies—underground bars with secret knocks, where people spoke quietly to avoid detection—there’s no bathtub gin here. But inside these covers you’ll find some of the best-kept secrets of elite interviewers and conversationalists.
