effective business communication skills: It's HOW You Say It Barbara Teicher, 2014-07-10 It's HOW You Say It(TM) How true. Words are powerful tools. Do you wonder why, at times, someone takes offense at something you've said and you have no idea why? Maybe it's just the opposite and you have been misunderstood.

What are the components of effective communication, the kind of conversations that build relationships, streamline collaboration and help diminish friction between leadership, management, work teams... and loved ones? To find the answers to these, we have to go a little deeper. This book will take a lighthearted look at the background and mishaps in communication and deliver a no-nonsense approach to determining a lasting solution. What are the characteristics of a true leader? Can leadership be taught? Whether you are in executive leadership, in management, or an individual contributor you'll find the answers to these and other communication questions. Author, keynote speaker, corporate trainer and coach, Barbara Teicher, will help you to unlock the secrets of the messages you're really sending, learn the 6-Step It's HOW You Say It(TM) Principle for effective communication, discover what the characteristics of true leadership are (they may surprise you!), learn how to make a V.A.S.T. difference in your business, as well as personal, relationships and unveil the mystery of how to change perceptions because, it's not just what you say, It's HOW You Say It.(TM) |

But the thing is, great interviews aren’t the result of serendipity and intuition, but rather the result of careful planning and good journalistic habits. And Dean Nelson is here to show you how to nail the perfect interview every time. Drawing on forty-years of award-winning journalism and his experience as the founder and host of the Writer’s Symposium by the Sea, Nelson walks you through each step of the journey from deciding whom to interview and structuring questions, to the nitty gritty of how to use a recording device and effective note-taking strategies, to the ethical dilemmas of interviewing people you love (and loathe). He also includes case studies of famous interviews to show how these principles play out in real time. Chock full of comprehensive, time-tested, gold-standard advice, Talk to Me is a book that demystifies the art and science of interviewing. “One of the best interviewers around.” —Anne Lamott, New York Times–bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow |
