Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Articulate Executive: Learn to Look, Act, and Sound Like a Leader (Hardcover) The key to success, I believe lies in effective personal communication. In a world that increasingly relies on technology to respond to other human beings, a personal response results in results - deals are made; red tape is cut; decisions are made. Yet we live in a world where the ability to communicate personally with each other seems to be on the decline. Granville Toogood has written one of the best books on the subject I have ever read. The Articulate Executive should be required reading for every business student, project manager, teacher and politician. By taking the time to adhere to his simple P. O. W. E. R. formula, leaders would see their effectiveness soar. P. Power - Start Strong. O. One Theme. W. Windows to illustrate your theme. E. Ear - Your presentation should be conversational. R. Retention - End your presentation with a call to action. If you plan to be successful, then public speaking is something you cannot avoid. If you plan to speak, do your audience a favor and spend some time with this book. Your career and your audience will be grateful.
