A first in the new Business Essentials Series, this book is packed with must-know tools and strategies for the most important business (and life) skill of all—communication

No matter how great your knowledge, expertise or experience, poor communication skills undermine your ability to get your message across, achieve your objectives, and build crucial relationships. To advance your career—and succeed in other aspects of life, as well—building theses skills is essential.

In Communication Essentials, expert Trey Guinn takes you step-by-step through the process of improvement, from understanding the importance of message clarity to specific, goal-based strategies to develop and maximize your skills.

In Part I: The Essentials, he covers the fundamentals, from why and how we communicate and what effective communication looks like to how it can all go wrong. In Part II: The Essentials Applied, he provides practical advice on identifying goals, owning your message, and anticipating how your audience will perceive you, the messenger. Finally, in Part III: Beyond the Essentials, you'll find practical tips to help you communicate your way into a job, improve your digital communication, work through difficult conversations, and much more.

Packed with insights, anecdotes, exercises, and Essential Takeaways to wrap up each chapter, Communication Essentials ensures you'll walk away feeling fully equipped and prepared to put your skills into action right away.

      There is no business without communication, and here professor and communication coach Guinn guides readers on the best way to get their message across. First, he breaks down the concepts of communication, advising readers to do the ""inner work"" necessary to unpack sources of negative self-talk and be open to all feedback on communication, because intent does not equal impact. Then he explains the five points of communication--goal, audience, perception, messenger, message, and medium--and demonstrates how to chart them to make messages clearer. He specifically addresses communication for job seekers, including interviews, digital communication, and networking. He ends with advice on handling difficult conversations with collaboration and compromise. The simple drawings peppered throughout add charm to this useful book that is full of examples from Guinn's personal and professional life. The complexities of communication are explained clearly without oversimplification, offering readers meaningful lessons and useful takeaways that apply to every aspect of work life. Recommended for business libraries, academic libraries that serve job seekers, and career collections in public libraries.
