Product Description

Some Things Are Just Better Heard Than Read.

That’s why Susan Roane is one of the superstars of the audio industry, and why more than 50,000 people chose to buy the audiobook of her bestseller, How to Work a Room. Knowing what to say is important. Hearing how to say it can make all the difference.

With Roane’s Rules Susan has taken it to the next level and created an original audiobook that explains how to handle yourself in those sticky situations that we all know too well:

• You’re making introductions and forget the names
• Your boss invites you to dinner or comes to your house
• You want to join a conversation but don’t know anyone
• You receive an unwanted compliment or a surprise gift
• There’s an awkward pause in the conversation
• Someone jokes about you or puts you on the spot
• You have to give a speech or make a toast

Whether it’s at the office, on a date, in an interview, or any other social or business situation, Roane’s Rules will provide everything you need to come up with the right thing to say, and the way to say it with style.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
RoAne (How to Work a Room; The Secrets of Savvy Networking) offers her practical advice on what to say, what to wear and how to behave if you're trying to get ahead at work. Her recommendations-dress appropriately for the occasion; be courteous; try to make personal connections-aren't momentous, but the delivery of her message is right on. RoAne is appealing and, although there's no audible audience on this recording, sounds like she's engaged in one-on-one conversation. When she talks about her all-important "grandparent" test (imagine how your favorite older relative would react to a conversation or behavior), it's easy to picture her smiling as she recalls her own grandmother. RoAne includes personal anecdotes, in addition to those of her clients. By showing she isn't perfect and has had to learn from her mistakes, listeners will probably be more willing to believe her suggestions. As strong as the advice is, however, it will be most useful to people who don't have much job experience, are re-entering the workforce or want to work on their communication skills. RoAne's tips-e.g., respond immediately when someone has done a significant favor for you; make a notation on the back of someone's business card to help you remember something about the person-are self-evident, but will be a boon to neophytes and businesspersons who struggle in social work environments.
