I really enjoy and appreciate Bert Decker's thoughts. Although I gave it 4 stars, I need to "vent" a little. This audio book High Impact Communication is the audio version of his earlier (1993) book, You've Got to Be Believed To Be Heard, which I already have 2 copies of... (I did not think you could do this. I would be surprised if Bert is OK with this.)

Had I known, I would've purchased another of his products. If you have not read You've Got to Be Believed, this audio is well worth it...

This is a step by step guide for anyone who wants to connect with others. To get ahead in business or in life, you need confidence, poise, and effective communication skills...and this audio will give you the personal power you need.

This course covered key areas I was interested in, such as "How to think on my feet" and "How do you really excite an audience/What makes an audience really want to listen." It came at a time in my life when i realized I knew most of what the course was teaching; in fact had done most of the things discussed at different times in my life many times over, but, wasn't consciously aware what I was doing right. Conversely, I didn't know what to do to correct some things that didn't work. Now, I know both.

If there is one are the author could improve, it is to deliver the material in a less didactic style. The lead ins to the core material are too long. Once you get to the core though, it's worth it.
