This book is designed for foreign-born professionals working in the
U.S. who already possess good English skills, and yet are not
polished communicators in a U.S. business environment. We provide
practical advice - with student and client anecdotes interspersed
throughout the text - and help foreign-born professionals change
their communications skills and style to become more effective in
typical business situations such as: managing meetings,
understanding U.S. negotiation tactics, writing effective e-mails,
delivering U.S.-style presentations, using Power English to stand
out as a leader, and other communication areas such as how to
reduce accents that interfere in business transactions.
As a result of reading this book, the readers will be able to
fit in better into the American corporate culture; they will gain a
better understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses in
business communications in an American environment, where most
foreigners feel a need for honest feed-back but never receive
it.
They will be able to understand why, despite their good English,
they are frequently misunderstood and can't get the results they
want, and they will learn strategies to become better communicators
in typical business situations, such as meetings, presentations,
conference calls, job interviews, etc. The readers will enjoy a
variety of practical, actionable advice they can use
immediately.
Written in simple, accessible English, the book will function
as a how-to guide for any foreign-born managers faced with the
challenge of getting their U.S. audience on board; the
light-hearted style, with lots of anecdotes and real-life
experiences, will make for an enjoyable, captivating reading. Each
chapter will have boxes and illustrations providing examples of
typical pitfalls for foreigners in specific situations, with a
short list of do's and don'ts for foreigners (e.g., do's and don'ts
in meetings, on e-mail, etc.)s
