About this listen
Are you a high school or college student who is already leading or wants to lead groups? If so, congratulations on aspiring to be a leader. Or are you in education leadership, looking for some material on student leadership skills you would like to relay to younger students?
This article, the first of two, focuses on student leadership and youth leadership soft skills areas that are necessary for any younger leader, mainly of high school and college age. Soft skills refer to traits or behaviors a leader must practice to be effective when dealing with others. The material found in these articles is not highly theoretical but practical and would be excellent for student leadership training or for a student leadership seminar. The language is simple and easy to hear, so a younger, emerging student leader can understand the concepts and identify with the examples.
The reason I chose to write about the soft skills area is that I realized, after being a student leadership speaker for many years, that many students have not received training that covers some basic aspects of day-to-day leadership and values. Helping them to understand why these behaviors are so important is a main thrust of the articles. A sampling of the topics covered in this first article includes the importance of writing thank-you notes of congratulations or appreciation, using a notepad and calendar, the importance of reading, and cultivating punctuality. If you are looking for solid, insightful advice on leadership practices that will add to your basic student leadership skills and student development, then this is the article for you.

Grasping the fundamentals of interviewing skills is crucial for anyone experiencing the formal interview process. Not knowing what to expect, not knowing the basics of what you should and should not do, and not knowing what will make you a more attractive job candidate can all be the "kiss of death" as far your chances of obtaining that position.

Like most adults, you have likely attended a number of presentations, speeches, or talks while in school or at work. But how many have stayed with you? Sadly, it wouldn't be surprising if you answered, "very few or none at all." If you are planning to speak before a group, big or small, on a particular topic, the last thing you want is for your message to fall flat and soon be forgotten. However, if you incorporate these simple yet vital elements in this book, your message will be clearly conveyed, understood, and easily remembered.

In this audiobook I have attempted to outline some of the things you must know if you are going to get along in our ever-changing world. This knowledge is not the sort of knowledge you have been taught in school - but it is just as true and just as vital to you as a multiplication table or your ABCs. But one thing you must remember. While others can tell you how to do these things, only one person in the world can ever really make you do them - and that person is you.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.
