ADVANCE PRAISE FOR
HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH ANYONE, ANYWHERE: YOUR PASSPORT TO CONNECTING GLOBALLY
written by Raúl Sánchez and Dan Bullock, illustrated by Rod Sánchez
“This is the book that I needed 10 years ago. It’s the best source I’ve read that helps with the basics of communication but also helps on how to connect with people on a global scale. With the amount of shoots and work we do internationally this book would have been beneficial to me so many times in the past. Unfortunately, I had to figure it out on my own but now wished I had this book to have guided me.”

It is a clear, concise and practical book.”

“This book hit home for me – I have lived my life building relationships; I have never just had acquaintances – I make friends. I found Chapter 2, in particular, to be enlightening; I loved the concept of the “rainmaker.” If we were all to become “rainmakers,” this world would be a better place. We will definitely get better results, if we all would adopt the discovery-driven practice!”
Gary Bartolina-Campbell

“As a student and organizer, I'm constantly communicating with and pitching to a broad audience. Before this book, my standard approach was not having universal success, and it showed in my response rates. This book taught me how to quickly identify the default styles of myself and others, and gave me actionable strategies to adapt my style based on my audience. Now, I'm confident in my ability to tailor messages that elicit immediate and positive responses in my personal and professional life alike.”
