Product Description

Mike Staver, CEO of The Staver Group and a professional speaker and coach to thousands of people each year, has been called a Rebel with a Cause. A resistor of conventional wisdom, canned solutions, and tired clichés, he will push you to radically look at your life and your organization in revolutionary ways.

This book is like Mike himself: edgy, opinionated, sometimes controversial, and always truthful. So, be prepared you may not hear what you want to hear. In fact, you can count on that. But if you re at a point in your life where you re ready to be pushed to grow, pushed to embrace counterintuitive thinking, pushed to get comfortable with discomfort, and pushed to achieve maximum results, read on.

Herein lie hard truths, common sense, and more than a few metaphorical kicks in the butt. You ll thank Mike for them later.

About the Author

Mike Staver is the CEO of The Staver Group, a national team of strategic business advisors and coaches. Mike travels the country, speaking to Fortune 500 companies and start-up companies, and works as a confidential advisor to top-level executives and CEO s. His focus is on helping people move from where they are in business and life to where they want to be.

Mike s background includes a Bachelors degree in business, a Masters degree in Psychology, and over 25 years of experience. He was recently voted as a top Mover & Shaker in the country by Florida International Magazine, and he has been recognized in the New York Times, Business Week, Fox & Friends, Good Morning New York and USA Today, among others.

Most importantly, Mike has experienced and lived what is in this book, and he has seen the impact of this (often funny and always truthful) advice on his own life and in the lives of his clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mike Staver hits a home run for anyne who wants to get more out of life., February 7, 2008
By Andy Sherman (Lawrence, KS. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Do You Know How to Shut Up? (Paperback)
WOW! I think there are 3 things that a "life changing" book has to have to be effective.
1. Must be an entertaining read. In this day of instant gratification...."DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SHUT UP?" is very entertaining. If you do not FIND this book entertaining...check to FIND a pulse.
2. Must have up to date, cutting edge, relevant content that can be applied. "DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SHUT UP?" has a unique and easy to use summary at the end of each chapter that allows you to retain the content so you can use it.
3. Must have the motivation to use the great content. "DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SHUT UP?" addresses the behaviors that we will find on the road through life....TODAY....and Mike Staver has not only gone down that same road ...he gives us a step by step plan to make the behaviors we must deal with.
I just ordered several as gifts and I suggest you do so as well. because Mike has shown me how to guide the behaviors to make my life better ....I want to give that gift to the people who are important to me. Besides some of those friends really need the help.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide, February 6, 2008
By Mary Anne (Amelia Island FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Do You Know How to Shut Up? (Paperback)
What I love about this book is every chapter targets a specific behavior -about you or someone you deal with. Pick any chapter and get a two page summary of common sense practices that are easy to apply in every day life. You don't wind up thinking "that's a great idea, but what do I do to get there?" Mike tells you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book - "Fluff" free!, April 6, 2008
By Rad Leader (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Do You Know How to Shut Up? (Paperback)
This is one of the best "self-help" books I have ever read. Mike does a great job of getting right to the meat of the subject without all of the fluff I usually find in other self-help books. Think of it as a great steak dinner without the nasty garnishments (does anyone ever eat parsley anyway?). The brief (3-5 pages) chapters present great deal to digest; I especially enjoyed reading a chapter before work and then immediately trying to implement the lessons from the book. I consider the book almost a "daily devotional" for any one in leadership, business, government, education, or anyone who wants to better themselves. Beware however, Mike gets right to the core of the issue so only read the book if you truly want to improve yourself!
