The Business Buffet: 15 Career Must-Haves They Never Teach But Still Expect You to Know - Paperback

by Matthew Tedesco (Author)

Leadership is 90% communication-and this is your 15-skill upgrade.

Your career didn't come with a people-skills manual-but it still expects you to have them. The Business Buffet is the one you've been missing: 15 practical, human skills that turn everyday interactions into influence-organized by how you communicate with yourself, with others, and with the world.

Each fast chapter serves up a Main Dish (the idea), Taste-Test Recipes (quick exercises), and Quick Bites (sticky takeaways) so you can use it today, not someday.

You'll learn to:

✅ Show up steady by mastering your inner dialogue.

✅ Tell stories that stick using the Power of Three.

✅ Defuse tough moments with calm, repeatable "pressure protocols."

✅ Earn trust fast through listening, humility, and presence.

✅ Create psychological safety so ideas surface and teams move faster.

No jargon. No filler. Just proven communication habits in snackable portions that fit busy schedules-and build real leadership.

"Funny, wise, and genuinely empowering." - Jon Gordon, 18× Bestselling Author and #1 Consultant to CEOs, Coaches, and High Performers
