Whether it's keeping the interest of a large audience or simply winning the argument in a key meeting, sounding the part is becoming an increasingly sought after skill. We all communicate in different ways but many of us find it a challenge to communicate on a professional level. Also, in a tougher jobs market, the ability to articulate effectively is a vital skill. Employers still complain that candidates lack essential skills, with the most important being communication.
This book shows how to get the success you want by getting your message across, every time. Without recourse to jargon, he shows how to achieve verbal, vocal and visual success - with style. Practical pointers, examples and standard templates are included for all forms of communication.
Alan Barker is Managing Partner of Direction, a learning consultancy that works to develop creativity and skilled communication. A prolific writer, he is the author of How to be Better at Managing People, also published by Kogan Page.
