Best Selling Author

I had to laugh at the bookstore on Monday. Everyone that asked me if I knew any good books got an enthusiastic presentation on yours. I told them how much pain I would have avoided in personnel if only I had had your book nine months earlier.

Can you imagine your business profits increasing by 10-30%? That is what my company was able to immediately experience, as I used Ms. Rose Charvet’s LAB Profile® to make improved hiring decisions.

At last I got your book, and on the strength of its information I have my first decent commercial assignment helping a local employer do his own recruiting, as he is fed up with the standard of the local employment bureaux.

Words That Change Minds provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental differences in individual behavioral patterns, questions that reveal these patterns and the language most likely to influence people according to their dominant patterns.

The LAB Profile^® and the book Words That Change Minds, written by Shelle Rose Charvet, have proven to be invaluable tools in my evaluation and hiring process. Candidates have been screened in to positions and screened out, far
more appropriately, through the proper use of these techniques. I highly recommend these additions to your array of behavioural interviewing tools.

Words That Change Minds gave me a level of awareness and precision in
communication that I did not think was possible. I used to get frustrated when I
worked with others who had different communication patterns than my own. Now, I get curious. What a breakthrough!

I pull out Words That Change Minds whenever I am facing a situation where I am not connecting with an individual. By using Shelle’s techniques I can understand them better and then establish a much higher level of rapport. As a sales professional there are times when I have to present to key decision makers. Shelle’s book has helped me understand how to communicate with people on their terms and that has increased sales.

Words That Change Minds belongs on the must-read list for everyone who interacts with other people. I have found it to be invaluable for understanding and communicating effectively with business associates, family and friends. It’s the first book I have read that identifies various styles of communicating and outlines an easy-to-follow process to create an accurate exchange of information.

Shelle’s book, Words That Change Minds, is a helpful and practical reference tool and guide in preparation for management, negotiation, mediation or conflict resolution. Understanding and respecting people is at the core of good communications. I have found the LAB Profile® to be a useful and insightful tool. It helps you progress towards your desired outcome, while respecting the needs and pace of those with who you are working.

I read the book – it’s easy reading, entertaining, and very practical. I’ve used the motivation traits questions to help a Malaysian friend clarify his career goals, a middle-age friend to build her résumé, and most interesting of all, a Chinese lady to decide whether or not she should buy a South Sea pearl necklace! And all the while, they didn’t know I was using the standard questions because it was like natural conversation.

This book provides intriguing insights into what motivates people, how they make decisions and generally what makes them tick. I found this information very valuable.

Words That Change Minds has greatly assisted our staff in honing their negotiating skills – I highly recommend this book to anyone who has to deal with high stakes communication.

Knowing the precise definitions of spoken or written words is not enough to understand the real intended meaning. The LAB Profile^® solves this for each unique relationship and provides the influencing words that are most effective for that particular relationship.

Excellent book – would recommend this book to anyone wanting to use NLP in the business world. Written in a down -to-earth, extremely readable, interesting style with useful real-world examples … and with a great sense of humor!

After reading Shelle’s book, I asked her to train my management, customer service representatives, consultants and sales staff. Not only does it work in achieving bottom line results in business, she also taught my wife and I how to communicate at a new level. Shelle is the master of influential communication. I strongly urge all business leaders to read this book … it could change your life!

I have just read Wishing, Wanting and Achieving and I just wanted to thank you for the outstanding value that you delivered for me personally.

Although I have read your book “Words that change Minds” and am NLP-trained, it refreshed my knowledge and showed how to apply some of the principles I knew into a totally different area.

I always thought I was a “Towards” motivated person but you helped me to see that I have been underestimating the impact that can come from harnessing “Away From” strategies. And it allowed me to see that many of my past successes have indeed been driven by that very principle.

It is probably the best personal planning book I have ever listened to and I will be recommending it to all my friends and contacts.

I can’t thank you enough for this book! I have a lot of pieces in place in my head after I read it and I’m going to review to it over and over again as it has always puzzled me why people don’t get things done even if they “really” (as they themselves say it, me included) want to do those things. I only wish that this I’ve got my hands on this material earlier; though we have to be ready for the information too. Thanks very much again!

“Wishing, Wanting, and Achieving” is excellent. I learned that in order to achieve goals it helps to make them part of what I already do. It also helps to set up a plan as to how the goal can be attained. For example, I will need to contact 20 people a day if I am to attain my goal of increasing my sales for this year. Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing your “Wishing, Wanting, and Achieving” ideas. Here’s what I got out of it:

•  If I am in the “Options” mode (which I am most of the time), then other things displace my goal and interfere with my commitment.
• I need to compare the strategies I used when I accomplished goals to those I used when I didn’t.
• When willpower is in competition with imagination, the latter wins

Fabulous content and I really enjoyed it.

I went through “Wishing, Wanting, and Achieving” before I started work today. It was just what I needed. You are so smart and intelligent, and the way you communicate your message is just awesome.

I know all this stuff, and yet I forget, so easily, how to apply it. Like many people, I find it easy to set goals, but I forgot the importance of the trigger to start me moving. I realize, from this book, that my biggest problem, that prevents me achieving my goals, is a lack of a procedure, and a failure to break the goal down into achievable steps. As I listened to you, I reviewed some goals that I had failed to achieve in the last year, and some goals that I would like to achieve but am not sufficiently motivated to start.

I now realize that I need a trigger of something I want to avoid and give it a lot more attention than I would normally give it. I also need to stop having choices, make the decision and have a step by step procedure to get me started and keep me going. Deadlines made public are a very good motivator.

Your “Wishing, Wanting, and Achieving” could be the difference that makes the difference this year! Thanks for the inspiration.

I just read your goal setting strategies in “Wishing, Wanting, and Achieving.” As usual it was most helpful. Thanks for sharing it.
My reason for writing you, is that I am so VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOU, for what you have designed (and are still designing) for the rest of us mere mortals. Keep up the good work.
