Produktbeschreibung

This third edition of The Art of Communication (previously titled Creating Communication) is a brief and practical introduction to speech communication. Emphasizing face-to-face communication, yet also addressing the role of technology and its influence on daily communication, Fujishin helps you develop greater understanding of how important communication skills are in your personal and professional life-and will inspire you to use these skills in ways that enlarge and improve the lives of others as well as your own. Fujishin employs a distinctively encouraging and conversational approach as he explains the basic communication skills necessary to improve in numerous contexts-including public speaking, small group, interpersonal, intercultural, leadership, interviewing, and technology-based communication. The result is an easy-to-read book that provides the tools to implement powerful changes in the ways you interact with others.
