5.0 out of 5 stars
A "must have" book for any global business person.,
By Steadman Uhlich (Steadman@GlobalCEO.net) (Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Speaking Globally: How to Make Effective Presentations Across International and Cultural Boundaries (Paperback)
If you ever have a need to conduct business with people from other countries, this book could help you. It is full of helpful facts and tips for speakers who must cross the cultural barriers to good communication. Not only is it loaded with good practical information (such as how to make a toast at dinner in Finland), it is easily read because of the clear writing style and humor. I keep a copy by my phone as a quick reference before calling my contacts around the world. I highly recommend it as essential reading for anyone who must deal with business people around the world. Elizabeth Urech obviously knows what she is writing about and it shows in her prose. Reading this book is like having the best advice, support (and encouragement) from a coach before approaching what is for most people one of the most nerve-wracking, unsettling, scary things in the world..public speaking. Read it and you will be better prepared, more confident, and no doubt more successful.

This review is from: Speaking Globally: How to Make Effective Presentations Across International and Cultural Boundaries (Paperback)
Ms. Urech gives tons of information in her book. If you want to get ahead -- and make no mistake about it, effective communication is THE key for getting ahead -- you will not only buy this book and read it. No, instead you will work through it, practice the details, until they become second nature. My recommendation is that you not just buy one book, but that you buy several, and give them to other friends with ambitions. Then work through the book together. You'll have fun AND you'll learn what you really need to know. (And, as others have remarked, it's especially good for the international speaker!)

Concise Yet Colorful,
By Linda Spillmann (Vienna, Austria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Speaking Globally: How to Make Effective Presentations Across International and Cultural Boundaries (Paperback)
Elizabeth Urech's Speaking Globally is both informative and entertaining. Vivid examples and clear explanations enable you to easily understand and remember concepts. Best of all this book inspires you to seek opportunities to test your speaking skills. As a former MBA student and someone who occasionally introduces guest speakers, leads meetings and presents material, I only wish I would have read it sooner. -- Linda Beadling
