Synopsis

From personal influencing skills and positive psychology to handling relationships and communication, you're about to discover the simple truth about success

'John Lees has re-written the rules on everything you thought you knew about successful self-projection, networking and effective communication' From the Foreword by Sarah Willingham of BBC's Dragons' Den

This is a book about getting noticed, but not a conventional book. It doesn't tell you to sell yourself, get out there, impress with power dressing or to have an elevator speech. Getting noticed doesn't have to mean over-selling. Over the course of this book, you will discover exciting research, positive psychology and advice from a range of experts that will help you make an authentic impact.

By stepping just to the edge of your comfort zone, you will learn to project yourself onto the world of work. From personal influencing skills to presentations, this book decodes success for people who hate the idea of selling themselves. You'll rethink networking, learn how to talk about yourself in ways that others find easy to hear - and also directly influence what people say about you. You'll discover how you can project yourself in writing without looking as if you're pushing too hard, and learn to engage people in a way that sparks curiosity and leads to interesting offers.

Written for both introverts and extroverts, THE SUCCESS CODE shows you how to find an authentic voice even if your style is naturally self-effacing. You'll learn to get your name 'front of mind' by making sure the right messages about you come across even when you're not in the room. This is your game plan for getting noticed.

Are you ready?

Goodreads review by Holly on January 02, 2018

I think perhaps I was slightly out of the target audience for this book. I don't want to change jobs, I'm not looking for a promotion and I don't need to make sales or win contracts. However, there were still some very useful tips that I picked up from this book. I was originally going to rate it th......more

A guide to getting noticed (in a good way) at work. There were many good points in this book, but the writing / formatting put me off. Reading time around two hours.......more

Goodreads review by Rich on January 04, 2024

An interesting take on personal / professional development with generally good ideas and practical advice. It’s mostly a good read, particularly if you’re not a natural extrovert. However, it’s got quite a narrow view of what “success” is. It’s very oriented towards success in the business / corpora......more

Goodreads review by Viktorija on December 22, 2022

Knyga su vertinga informacija darantiems karjerą ar dirbantiems savarankiškai. Dėmesys skiriamas realistiškiems networkingo patarimams, viešajam kalbėjimui , kaip bendrauti ir elgtis darbe ir renginiuose, kad palikti gerą įspūdį, ir pan. dalykams. Bet buvo žiauriai nuobodu skaityti ir vargau kol pab......more
