Say It With Power and Confidence

Summary: A great how-to book
Review: This book should be required reading for practically everyone. It is impossible to read this book, or even just to page through it, without becoming a better communicator. Collins writes with refreshing directness, humor, insight, and sharp analysis. As a teacher, I have strongly recommended the book to all my students, because it is full of excellent tips, advice, and strategies for getting one's points across effectively. Other audiences who will benefit include business executives, job-seekers, sales people, negotiators, witnesses in legal cases, etc. My own favorite chapter is on "becoming a better listener." Too many people are content to be "broadcasters" rather than "receivers," much to their own and our detriment. But every chapter of the book is an informative delight. This is, quite simply, a great -- and most profitable -- read.
