When I got involved in business, I was amazed at how many people had little idea about what they were doing. I was never incredibly successful but I did improve over the years because I invested in myself through books and audio. Heller's book is a comendium of great ideas and tips. He goes over the basics and gives timelt reminder about how you frame your message and giving attetnion to bodily language. I liked his chapter on exchanging information because it underlined the importance of considering what mediun you should use to communicate different types of message. For example, face to face make take longer than an email or a text, but it is a more effective way of building real relationships. he also touches on important skills such as preparing a brief, chairing meeting and public speaking. The key point is that we communicate to get results and if we are not getting the results we want we need to change our method of communication. V. helpful still.
