From Tom Leech, author, speech coach, and conference speaker, comes
a new book: SAY IT LIKE SHAKESPEARE: THE BARD'S TIMELESS TIPS FOR
COMMUNICATION SUCCESS, 2nd Edition. This new edition of
McGraw-Hill's original widely-praised book provides a tuneup for
enhancing communications success in business and personal worlds.
As the Bard of Avon put it 4+ centuries ago "No man is lord of
anything 'til he communicate his parts to others." To succeed in
business, communicating with colleagues, upper management,
customers (real or potential), the general public and others along
the way is a key factor in landing that job, doing it well., and
getting that promotion. That may involve multiple modes of
communication: interpersonal, written, speaking to groups (informal
and high-stakes presentations), participating in meetings, and more
recently via internet (e-mail, social media, webinars and more each
day). "As a financial executive, now retired, I was constantly
amazed at how the Bard's words applied so well to the business
world. Tom's 2nd edition highlights many of these in a vivid and
valuable manner. A must read." Alex Sandie, President-Founder of
San Diego Shakespeare Society Here you'll learn from the Bard's
memorable communicators, such as Henry V to his Band of Brothers,
Marc Antony to his "Friends and Romans," Cleopatra when shooting
the messenger, Othello advising his team to put brain in gear
before mouth, (and even Falstaff to shape up his band of
scoundrels). Pithy examples from current day (and past)executives,
politicians, and personalities sharply demonstrate positive and
negative techniques for ways to: - Improve sending skills by
applying Hamlet's advice to speak the speech and Caesar's punchy
reminder of non-verbal communication importance. - Polish often
woeful listening-receiving skills (yes, really beware the Ides of
March) to interact well during discussions, meetings, and
question-and-answer sessions. - Compose clear and persuasive
messages-content to convey key information and sell ideas. - Use
the medium (think PowerPoint) to enhance, rather than impede
communication by sound use of visual aids, props, and web-video
modes. "Say It Like Shakespeare by Tom Leech is a must-read,
must-practice guide for anyone whose job requires strong
communication skills. Author Tom Leech is a master at teaching
people how to use the right words to convey the right message in
the right tone. I highly recommend this 2nd Edition if you're
looking for a how-to guide to sharpen your communication skills."
