Simply Said is the essential handbook for business communication. Do you ever feel as though your message hasn't gotten across? Do details get lost along the way?

From tough presentations to everyday transactions, there is no scenario that cannot be improved with better communication skills. This book presents an all-encompassing guide to improving your communication, based on the Exec|Comm philosophy: we are all better communicators when we focus less on ourselves and more on other people. More than just a list of tips, this book connects skills with scenarios and purpose to help you hear and be heard. You'll learn the skills to deliver great presentations and clear and persuasive messages, handle difficult conversations, effectively manage, lead with authenticity and more, as you discover the secrets of true communication.

Communication affects every interaction every day. Why not learn to do it well? This book provides comprehensive guidance toward getting your message across, and getting the results you want.

• Shift your focus from yourself to other people

Excellent communication guide

Much better than I was expected, really good and actionable advice. I liked it so much I bought the kindle book too.

Great +1 to those growing as leaders

This was a solid read that helped tie together a few different communication methods. Spoken word, presentations and even digital communications were covered here in a very comprehensive way. Lots of real world examples throughout the book.

Simply superb!

By far the best book ever on public speaking and overall, good communication skills.

Communication skills 101

Most valuable lessons on more effective communication in the workplace as well as in personal life. Highly recommended for any employee, employer or leader.

A MUST LISTEN EVERY YEAR

Anybody can take so much from this book! Being a better communicator can never be a bad thing and you can take so many lessons here!

Don’t stop in the Foreword, skip it if you must.

Yes, the foreword seems condescending, but if you can struggle through that - you will be rewarded greatly by the rest of the book.

Practical, relevant & perfect length

Summarises elements of professional / executive function well. The information in it is not unique to this book but it does collect the majority of the most relevant subjects people require for better communication at work, managing presence & how people perceive you, etc. A great length to listen multiple times & really embed the knowledge to make personal change.

Helpful and informative.

This book has useful advice and examples throughout. It is quite dense and you may need to take breaks to digest it all or listen several times to get new recommendations as you start to try new methods in your communication. Overall, a good book.

Interesting

Practical
