The past six months I have really had to look at my communication skills. I’ve read Communication Skills for Dummies and gaining so much insight on how to communicate more effectively. The book is an easy read and just as easy to understand. I love that it is designed with the reader in mind to aid in each step of the way in improving communication.
There are short snippets so I can discover challenges that apply to me, work through the exercises and move to the next. I can read a section a day or read several. It’s my choice and at my pace.
So much of this book is in line with my thinking. The book reinforces that great communication skills can make all the difference not only in professional life, but in personal living as well. It’s written by Elizabeth Kuhnke, an expert author, who shares her top tips for communication in any situation.
I loved that the book recognizes listening as part of communication. The book also tackles building rapport, verbal and non-verbal communication, communicating using modern technology and more. It’s truly comprehensive in the aspects of communication.
