Produktbeschreibung

Fully revised with 40% new material-presented with Jeanne Martinet's trademark wit and practicality-The Art of Mingling provides you with everything you need to help you thrive at any in-person gathering.

Does the idea of going to a party make your mouth go dry? Are you more comfortable on FaceTime than you are face-to-face? Do you find yourself living a screen-only life? You're not alone; ninety percent of the world suffers from minglephobia, and Jeanne Martinet has the cure.

While most people have always had a fear of mixing with new people, our digital reality promotes an ever-increasing trend toward social isolation, and the habits we acquired during the pandemic have cause our mingling muscles to atrophy even more. We need face-to-face conversations as much as we need food or air. The Art of Mingling encourages you to get off your apps, get back out there and make real-life connections. In this well-timed fourth edition, the author has completely updated her sure-fire system for overcoming social fears and having a great time at any type of business or social get-together.

Filled with both simple and advanced techniques, tricks, tips, lines, and maneuvers, and illustrated with entertaining examples, The Art of Mingling teaches you:

* The value of interacting in person
* Basic survival strategies for the Truly Terrified
* Opening lines and gambits that really work
* Tools and rules for keeping the conversation going in the right direction
* The all-important etiquette of escape
* Why some white lies are essential
* Faux pas recovery techniques
* How to avoid the dumb use of smartphones
* The secret to being a good listener
* Tips for mingling in public venues
* Much-needed tactics for navigating political topics
* Instructions for following up after the party
* And much, much more!
