The Practical Guide to Effective Communication by Laura Camacho

$27.95

Learn the communication skills you need to succeed at work and get recognized for the value you already contribute. Being supremely competent is only part of what you need to succeed at work. You also need to effectively communicate with confidence. This introvert-friendly book has all you need to get your point across, bring more value to the table, and get credit for what you already contribute.

This beautifully illustrated book covers it all from what you need to know about your audience, how to engage with different communication styles, how to build trust, resolve a conflict, be more emotionally intelligent, give more compelling presentations and connect with other cool, high-performers like yourself. You even have 25 conversation starters included to get you through any potentially awkward social event. There’s even a free communication style assessment inside the book (no code needed). You don’t even need to read the chapters in order; each chapter offers a different approach to the topic it covers.

If people feel better after talking to you, you become as important to them as their mobile device. That means you are an effective communicator and senior leaders are more likely to think of you for new projects. They may even dream about you as the hero, saving the day when facing a scary board meeting or All Hands event.
