Say it like Shakespeare, new 2nd Edition by Thomas Leech
"No man is lord of anything 'til he communicate his parts to others." per the Bard
(PRWEB) March 11, 2014
The new edition of Tom Leech’s book, “Say It like Shakespeare: the Bard’s Timeless Tips for Communication Success” provides new insights on how to and how not to communicate with people while still using Shakespeare’s sage wisdom.
The words of Shakespeare, despite being over four centuries old, still ring true in today’s society. Good communication is key to creating and maintaining good relationships of all types. The lessons from his most memorable communicators, such as Henry V stirring his Band of Brothers, Marc Antony showing how to hold his audience of “Friends and Romans,” and Caesar demonstrating, fatally in his case, why heeding upward communication is important, are some of the most important for people today to learn, though most of Shakespeare’s characters have a lesson to share about how to communicate.
To succeed in business, communicating with colleagues, upper management, customers (real or potential), the general public and others along the way is a key factor in landing a job and doing it well. That may involve multiple modes of communication: interpersonal, written, presentations, proposals, meetings (in person or as a conference call), and more. Heeding the Bard’s amazingly relevant insights can sharpen those essential skills.
The timeless examples are mirrored by pithy examples from current day executives, politicians, and personalities sharply demonstrate ways to tune - or mess - up communication.
This book is a boon to anyone, as its lessons can be applied to personal relationships as well as business communication.
