FEATURED AUTHOR
Dr. Rick Kirschner
How to Win Friends and Influence People for the Twenty First Century
  With some people, you just click. The connection is quick and easy. Communication flows. You can tell them anything and they know just what you mean. When you connect in this way, you feel understood and accepted for who you really are. You “get” these people and they get you. We think of this connection as instantaneous, something that either happens or doesn’t. Not so, says author Dr. Rick Kirschner. This connection isn’t a magical phenomenon; it’s a communication skill that can be learned. Based on the author’s three decades of experience as an interpersonal communication expert, How to Click with People will show you specific steps and techniques for achieving this goal.
Kirschner argues that these skills are crucial because success has less to do with professional knowledge than with “the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people.” He gives readers the advice and insights they need to strengthen their relationships and take charge of their future.
Dr. Rick Kirschner is the author or coauthor of seven books, including the international best-seller Dealing with People You Can’t Stand. He is also a popular coach, consultant, and public speaker, and has worked with some of the world’s best known organizations, including Starbucks, Heineken, NASA, Providence Healthcare, and the U.S. Army. An interpersonal communication expert, Kirschner has been featured in many high-profile media outlets, including NPR, CNBC, NBC, Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. He is also a faculty member at the Institute for Management Studies. Kirschner lives with his wife in Ashland, Oregon.

We’ve all been there. You enter the room and you’re immediately drawn to someone, or perhaps repulsed. It’s an innate response, internal and subconscious. It’s not just about how they look or act, but about how they ‘click’. Dr. Kirschner’s latest book describes this mysterious ability to connect with others. He explains how to discover it within yourself and how to create that ability if you don’t already have it. It’s a must read for anyone who deals with people at work, though socially it is almost as important.
