Why you should read The Articulate Executive

Greenville N. Toogood is a top executive communications expert, an established speaker (who used to be a TV reporter and network news producer), trainer, and writer, so he draws upon a vast amount of useful and successful tips for anyone interested in becoming a top-notch communicator. Although this book is written in a conversational, accessible style, you won’t find any fluff and filler, just on-target training. He covers planning your talk, speech, or presentation; your delivery and appearance; and pitfalls to avoid. He tells you how to deal with visual aids, Q&A sessions, and even the media. The author stresses that the book’s instructions can make anyone an effective and dazzling conversationalist, not just a great speechmaker, though both are well-rewarded skills. getAbstract recommends this book to every professional, on every level, and to those who would like to excel as communicators.
