Concise. Randy draws parallels to everyday communications and the importance of considering the principles and elements of communication. He covers all you would need to know to improve communication in settings that go beyond the podium.

Poor anecdotes, awkward writing style and over simplification mark the pitfalls of this book. This book reads like a hastily written presentation with easily refutable examples. Maybe a good book for jr high and high school students, it's essentially public speaking for dummies.

I have just finished first chapter, and I have already like it. This is a great book to improve communication skills. This is one of me University's text book that offered. I wish I had bought this book not rent it.

Excellent Book! Excellent Seller! A+ Would love to do business again in the future.
