PRACTICAL GENIUS The Real Smarts You Need to Get Your Talents and Passion Working for You

It’s hard to imagine a narrator who would sound more effective performing this material than Joyce Bean. Without overselling, she projects a solid confidence that what she’s saying is true and worthy of attention. Her charismatic reading matches the high quality of this message from an assertive coach and corporate trainer who says that we can have the life of our dreams if we learn how to blend our strengths and skills with our passions, creativity, and values. Rudan provides an outstanding lesson on how to connect effectively with others, along with many examples of notable successes in the real world. With the help of Bean’s remarkable vocal authority and some clever questionnaires, Rudan draws listeners into her analysis and makes them think in creative ways about their possibilities. T.W.
