Editorial Reviews

The best way to differentiate yourself in the workplace is with consistently strong communication skills. But how do you develop those skills? Improving Your Speaking Skills gives you detailed, step-by-step demonstrations to help you develop your most vital communication skills, from posture to eye contact to vocal variety. For each skill, you'll get several practicing strategies - exercises, games and drills to help you either correct a bad habit or develop a good one. The most effective way to work on your speaking skills is to practice them in your real-world situations. But for most of us, the biggest hurdle is focusing on a new skill and putting our thoughts together at the same time. These exercises are designed to give you an intermediate step, a way to practice on your own -- a way to gain aptitude before you test out your skills in more important conversations. The companion workbook on CD-ROM includes all the contents of the DVD and more! You'll find additional exercises, a Self-Evaluation Checklist, an Action Plan template and literature excerpts for practicing out loud. Cara Hale Alter, founder and principal trainer for Speechskills LLC, has trained thousands of business professionals in the U.S. and Europe on how to align their body language with their message. In this DVD, Cara defines and demonstrates key communications skills and outlines dozens of practicing strategies for building your skills, confidence and credibility.
