what others are saying.
Levi Lusko, Author of Blessed are the Spiraling
It doesn’t matter how talented, brilliant or experienced you are if you lack emotional intelligence. There are few things that will set you up for success or hold you back more than strong people skills or the lack thereof. From her vast experience helping people navigate their hangups as a counselor Debra Fileta has written a modern take on the ever important subject of winning friends and influencing people. People skills will help you take ownership of the way you connect and communicate. This is a book you’ll want to revisit again and again.
Katherine Wolf, Author of Treasures in the Dark, Suffer Strong, and Hope Heals.
In our world today, we are letting technology prevent us from developing the skills we desperately need to interact with others in our lives. What a tragedy! The book you hold in your hands is a response to this modern-day phenomenon. We must learn people skills to be fully human, and to understand how to live with true empathy, wisdom, and kindness – virtues that our technology will never be able to teach us.
Todd & Julie Mullins, Senior Pastors, Christ Fellowship Church
So often, the struggles we face in relationships are not because we lack love but because we lack the skills to love well. In People Skills, our friend Debra Fileta explains that one of the most courageous things we can do is take ownership of our part of the relationships God has entrusted to us. With the wisdom of a licensed therapist and the heart of a friend, Deb gives us practical tools to communicate with clarity, build healthier connections, and grow the kind of relationships God intended. This book is an invitation to move from stuck patterns into Spirit-led, life-giving relationships—and we couldn’t recommend it more highly.
Christine Caine, Founder of A21 & Propel Women
If we want to thrive and flourish in life we need to be able to interact and communicate effectively with one other. In People Skills, Debra shows us how. This book is practical, relatable, helpful and needed in these times.
Jonathan Pokluda, Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church, Best-Selling Author, Host of Becoming Something Podcast
