Join author Debra Fine for the second book in her series: The Fine Art of the Big Talk How to Win Clients, Deliver Great Presentations, and Solve Conflicts at Work

Debra Fine has helped thousands to master small talk—now it’s time for the big stuff.

Conversation—big talk—is the key to achieving nearly all our goals. It may be a sales pitch or a networking opportunity, a diagnosis, or a negotiation for a raise or promotion. It may be telling someone they’re not performing well or telling a supplier that a shipment was bungled. Given the, well, bigness of this kind of talk, it’s no wonder that so many have difficulty with it. There’s too much at stake. Instead, most people stick to chitchat, and rarely get around to important topics.

In The Fine Art of the Big Talk, conversation guru Debra Fine helps readers progress from small talk to big talk by recognizing the appropriate time and situation, tailoring the conversation to the audience, and—most important of all—conquering fear and inertia. Reassuring and easy to implement, her advice will help even the most awkward speakers tackle the weightiest subjects. This is a necessary guidebook for anyone who has ever worried about how to approach a tough conversation.
