Synopsis

Effective interpersonal communication is at the core of all relationships - from business to personal. The failure of most relationships is not because of a lack of trying or effort but because of unintended communication breakdowns. This book is all about how to persuasively make your point, increace credibility, overcome objections, avoid misunderstandings and minimize arguments in your professional and personal communications.

By learning the six basic verbal communication models along the the 12 non-verbal messages presented in this book, you can make your point in a convincing, non-argumentative manner in workplace and personal situations, from career essential to casual conversations!

This 4th edition of So, What's Your Point?; includes two new chapters that teach and demonstrate how to apply the communication models to giving presentations as well as improving and adding clarity to writing skills.

The communication skill set presented in this book is perfect for those critical, high-stress, consequential conversations that could turn ugly if not well managed!

Review:

I am so excited to learn how to use these communication tools. Mind you, I had to consciously think through the models while I was conversing but when I used them, it was smooth flying! I want to thank you for an awesome tool. I have search, researched and asked around for many years to find something that is easy to remember, fits in almost any communication situation yet works! --Vicki Cain, Account Manager, UW&A, Inc.

So, What's Your Point? has given me useful insight on how to phrase and construct sentences when I write or speak to other people in general, whether the topic is casual or professional. The information and skills I learned are invaluable and really do make a difference. --Chris McDonald, Baker Hughes

I enjoyed the material in this book immensely. The skill set revealed has helped me make huge leaps forward professionally and will greatly affect the trajectory of my career. --Lance Lunsford, UMC Health Systems
