You are one conversation away from changing your life. We all crave connection. We were never meant to live alone or communicate only in “likes” and retweets. In Every Conversation Counts, TV host and human connection keynote speaker Riaz Meghji digs deep into the dangers of isolation and loneliness, our social pandemic, that have been brought into sharp relief by the coronavirus crisis. He tackles a uniquely modern question: why are we so connected, and yet so alone—and how can we reconnect?
Sharing personal insights from powerful interviews and years of on-air experience, Meghji offers 5 simple habits for building extraordinary relationships. He explains how to spark authentic conversations, win trust, create new business, and collaborate effectively. Meghji points a way forward to a better future—one in which we express genuine curiosity about others, listen with our whole hearts, show up as our authentic selves, and make every conversation count.

—Michael Bungay Stanier, bestselling author, The Coaching Habit
"When communications fall short because of misunderstandings, or distance, or inattention, the results can be disastrous: lost jobs, lost opportunities, lost relationships. Riaz Meghji's splendid new book shows you how to ensure that your communications measure up every time. This book is a game-changer."
—Nick Morgan, bestselling author, Can You Hear Me?
