Editorial Reviews

Review

Widely endorsed by senior industry and NGO clients with whom the authors have worked, this book delivers its title with a great deal of practical advice and illustration. We are all capable of becoming better communicators, and this book shows you how. The six sections deal with communicating ideas, communicating with authority, answering questions, creating connection, changing minds and leadership communications. A particular focus is people who want to change the world... Essential reading for those who want to communicate, influence and inspire.
- Scientific and Medical Network Review

An impressively written and presented collaboration, "The Master Communicator's Handbook" is as informed and informative as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking....highly recommended. - Midwest Book Review

How to Create Change with Your Communications, September 25, 2016
By
Carolyn Boiarsky

This review is for: The Master Communicator’s Handbook by Theresa Erickson and Tim Ward
I began examining this book thinking I would simply skim it but by chapter 2, I was reading slowly, underlining and annotating new ideas, underlying concepts and tips.
This book provides recommendations on writing to your readers and listeners so that they don’t hit the delete button before they get to the 2nd paragraph or turn to their phones while you are speaking. It’s written so that you become a “powerful advocate for your cause and your organization… a catalyst for transformation.” As the authors state in their introduction, their “approach to communications is based on clarity, leadership and impact.”
Written by “Master Communicators,” the book is for those who wish to become one. It is concerned not only with getting your message across to your readers and listeners but having them ACT on it. Erickson and Ward comment, “Communication is not about output [by the writer], it’s about impact [on the reader]. “
The Master Communicator’s Handbook is specifically written for those in organizations “dedicated to making the world a better place,” such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Society of Conservation Biology, the United Nations, World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Bank, all clients of the two authors. The book is sprinkled with actual stories of these clients’ communication challenges and their solutions.
Several chapters are specifically concerned with oral communication, speaking to both large and small groups. These include aspects that are seldom discussed, including answering questions and using symbols and icons. Most chapters, however, contain recommendations that are applicable to both oral and written communication. These, too, contain topics that are almost never covered in books on effective communication, including framing an argument, what the psychologists term cognitive cultural dissonance, transformational storytelling and reframing (changing people’s positions on a topic}.
Anyone working in a nonprofit or environmental organization can find much needed assistance for “changing the world’ in The Master Communicator’s Handbook.

Great and useful read.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

I found The Master Communicator Handbook very fascinating and engaging. We all use public speaking everyday. Be it to family, friends, or co-workers, we are constantly communicating things.

This book is very enlightening and a wealth of extremely useful information and I learned a lot about my self from reading it. As a business owner it helped me focus more on the meaning and outcome of my words, and how they wee perceived by my audience.

It is very well written and has a wonderful flow that kept my attention and expanded my mind. The details and explanation in each chapter are easy to comprehend and I found it very interesting. The steps and ideas shared are clear and concise. The format it is written in made it easy for future referencing. The book covers every aspect of communication and speaking, and left me feeling empowered to make my own mark on the world. It is clear the authors, Teresa Erickson and Tim Ward put a great deal of time and effort into putting this all together and I appreciate their expertise and candid discussion, I would love to see more of their work and their great insight.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. It is an invaluable tool that each of us can use and share. It is definitely a must read, and I'm passing it out to everyone on my team.

A professional communication course distilled into one slim volume

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

Bringing their considerable international experience to bear, Teresa Erickson and Tim Ward have created a highly practical guide to powerful and effective communication. Getting your message across, whether it’s a brief data point or part of an hour-long speech, is an intimidating prospect for many people, and speakers often take communication for granted. They believe they can simply read some lines off an index card and never give a thought to what it means to truly connect with their audience. But, as the authors illustrate using examples from decades of teaching communication skills around the world, projecting with clarity and authority involves so much more.

Whether you’re an executive, thought leader, activist, scientist, teacher, NGO director, media spokesperson, or anyone trying the make the world a better place, the techniques you’ll learn from this book will help you make the most of your voice, body language, and vocabulary. You’ll communicate with confidence. Don’t give another public talk, speak to the media, promote your project, or otherwise try to move your message until you’ve read The Master Communicator’s Handbook.

This book is just ok, nothing spectacular.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

The book does have some valuable information in it. But it fails to follow some of its own words. There are parts that are over-complicated and a bit long winded. They say politics and religion may not be the best of topics in certain situations yet they make sure to share their political views, their views on climate change and their views on evolution as fact. In that regard it can feel a bit offensive if you do not share their beliefs as many do not. The book is just OK, there are definitely better books out there on the subject of communication. I certainly wouldnt make this your first choice and absolutely not your only choice if you do end up reading it. It's a bit difficult to get through. It is not that long of a book, it could easily be read in a day. I cant imagine many would want to go through the entire thing in one sitting though.

A brilliant gem!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

The Master Communicator’s Handbook by Teresa Erickson and Tim Ward is a brilliant gem that belongs on every writer’s bookshelf, next to Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style. In addition, TMCH should be adopted as a textbook for every university-level class on communications, public speaking, public relations and marketing. All activists, artists and entrepreneurs need to read this book now. Erickson and Ward are clear, concise and relevant. The topics they address are the bones of powerful communication. Their book contains step-by-step strategies for getting your message across to any audience. Here’s the key to marketing yourself, your cause, your business, your ideas.

A tremendously useful explanation of how to speak with power and clarity

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a wonderfully clear, engaging and powerful guide to speaking so that you have the impact you want. I've read many, many books on effective communication and this is one of the very best. If you have a message that matters, I encourage you to read this through once and be inspired. Then keep it close so that you can apply it as you prepare to speak more powerfully.
