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

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.
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.
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.
