Communicate to Win is set out in a very clear and easy to absorb way.
For such a small book, there is a surprisingly large amount of useful and practical ideas and models that make understanding people and getting your message across in an effective way  so much easier.
I have taken on board the information contained in the book and am continuing to reap the positive results. Thanks......... It works !

Melanie Lee -National Training Manager- UK

In my role as National Training Manager for a Major Spa and Beauty brand, I have found the model of The Skill and Will Quadrant an invaluable tool. I now use Carolina’s Key Questions at the beginning of my training seminars to help me establish each delegate’s willingness to learn and their ability level. From this I am able to structure my tutoring and therefore motivate and maintain enthusiasm for the brand during the seminar and beyond..

Communicate to win is a very easy read with a great deal of invaluable information and ideas around communication.  There are excellent examples putting the majority of the ideas and exercises into practice helping the reader to further understand how the ideas can be applied to real word situations, in both a business and personal environment.  As well as the skill and will quadrant the book highlights some basic communication techniques.  Although the reader may already use some of these techniques subconsciously (for example being aware of the environment and where people sit in a workshop situation),  ‘Communicate to Win’ explains how and why they are effective meaning that when using such techniques after reading the book you can get the most out of them.

Communication Session
The coaching session given to us having read the book supported many of the ideas in the book and extended them further using role play and actually seeing Carolina using some of the techniques outlined in the book.  Again some of the more simple ideas were the ones which had greatest impact on me, particularly the ideas of knowing exactly what it is you want to communicate and having people understand your message – they don’t have to agree with you, just understand.  These are two things I now think about most times I go to pick up the phone both in and outside work
Although initially cynical about reading and going through a session on communication, I found both the book and the coaching session to be very valuable and although there were a lot of ideas to take in the way they were communicated to me meant many of them have stayed with me and I have been able to use many of the techniques outlined.

I found it very interesting and thought provoking.
As communication is a fundamental part of human relations
the book addresses some of the issues that often arise in a
clear and simple way, offering examples to clarify the concepts
that are being expressed and an effective tool to improve/develop
 a more effective way to communicate with people,
both on personal and business level.
I read it once, then I went back to it to re-read some of the chapters
and in a way I find it is a kind of book that you don't put back on the shelf after you read it
but keep handy to consult it when necessary.

I found Communicate to Win a thought provoking pleasurable read.  I really like that situations were easy to associate with, characters were familiar, and I found myself saying if only I knew that before…
After reading Communicate to Win my questioning, behaviour and style as a facilitator has grown and I am achieving greater rapport and support from people faster than before. Even better is now I can understand how people are motivated, how best to achieve results and how to make my workshops a positive experience for all.

La verdad es que me ha impresionado la claridad con la que estan expuestas las ideas en el libro. Y, aun mas, la potencia de una herramienta tan simple como el cuadrante. He disfrutado con su lectura y he aprendido bastantes cosas y, sobre todo, he ordenado muchas que ya sabia pero que ahora podre utilizar mejor por la estructura que me ha facilitado el libro.

Muchas gracias y mucho exito!

Un abrazo

“Carolina Rodriguez expertly and simply teaches us how to recognise, interpret and manage our opponent’s conversation through effective communication………By using the “Skill and Will “ quadrant developed by Carolina, it demonstrates whether the skill is the driving force, the will, or, vice versa; thus, ensuring correct positioning of the opponent within the quadrant…………..ultimately leading to effective communication.
I have been using the skill and will methodology recently, and can 100% confirm its efficacy.
Superbly written for all to understand. ”
