 Rating:  - The Articulate DesignerAs designers, we specialize in visual communication- whether that be print, digital experience or identity, we convey a message. To keep this succinct, here's two ways this book would be beneficial for you to read as a graphic designer, web designer or web programmer: Interviews & Daily Interactions: Some designers may not feel comfortable in how to present themselves in an interview, a first meeting as a principle freelancer or how to strategically interact with your boss, CEO or ... Read More Rating:  - POWER FormulaThis book is about public speaking. It presents a new framework called "POWER Formula" that helps you design and perform the perfect presentation. "POWER" stands for Punch; One theme; Window; Ear; and Retention. This book not only suggests how to speak, but how to prepare visual aids that fit best your audience; how to deal with journalists, how to perform on TV, how to handle debates, and Q&A sessions.

It has many relevant and useful concepts that are organized well and easy to remember (through the use of acronyms and "fun" concepts).

The only reason for four stars is because the author seems to be sexist throughout the book (managers being referred in "he" terms, but women always seem to be at a lower level). This could just be my imagination, but I think it occurs throughout ...

I have read a lot of communication books talking about smoke and spirits but, Granville N. Toogood offer us a comprehensive guide, plenty of examples, techniques and rules to apply. Do you think this book can improve communication in our business? My answer is clearly affirmative after reading the book. Rating:  - Great Title, not much for the Executive thoughSimilar to most of the reviews of the book the strong points include helping a person form effective communication with others. It has a nice foundation for people who are new to public speaking, and a reminder for those who have been doing it for a while. However, the book is just plain dated. There must be a new book from another author that we could steer people towards. The business and professional world has changed in the 11 years since the book was released. The pace of conversation, the ... Read More |
