Today’s business leaders look for people who are socially adept and ready to offer a real-time handshake, a smile, an interesting conversation and an intelligent presentation. In FACE TO FACE: How To Reclaim the Personal Touch in a Digital World, Susan RoAne applies her signature conversational voice and practical “how to” style to show us how to conduct ourselves in the face to face space. Whether it’s an interview, a client presentation, a business lunch or a friend’s wedding, we need to know how to interact, how to behave, and how to connect with others with comfort and confidence in a diverse shared social space.

Readers will learn how to:

• Let technology enhance --not dominate-- personal and professional life
• Learn the best ways to connect: email vs. phone vs. face-to-face
• Successfully navigate the business dinner and stand out at social functions
• Develop the art of small talk and how to transition from small talk to big talk
• Handle office and personal politics with savvy and grace

"In a technology-driven world, face-to-face communication has taken a backseat to cellphones, e-mail and text messaging, asserts RoAne (The Secrets of Savvy Networking) in this humorous, quippy guide that illustrates how basic conversational and social skills have deteriorated and offers simple steps to more effective communication. The author offers commonsense advice and practical suggestions for anyone who wants to improve his or her ability to network, enhance small talk at a cocktail party or business function, navigate office politics and find or become a mentor. With handy and realistic advice for everyone from the chronically shy to those who just need a brushup on how to behave at a business dinner, RoAne goes so far as to list phrases of introduction, expressions of grief and icebreakers for dinner conversation, and amply demonstrates how “spoken words contribute to the chemistry and connections with... clients, colleagues, friends and families."
