Library Journal Review
Ever been in a meeting and wondered after speaking, "Did they just hear me or did they really hear what I had to say?" McGinty, an expert in the field of linguistics, guides the listener toward a pubic speaking style that's effective in a variety of situations. She shows how to recognize the best ways to communicate, from the center or the edge, and how one style of communication isn't always adequate. Practical tips, like recording your telephone etiquette to analyze how you sound, are also discussed, as well as modern technology hints like how to use voice-mail and e-mail effectively. If you want to communicate like a leader, Power Talk will set you on the path to being heard. Recommended. Marty D. Evensvold, Arkansas City P.L., KS (c) Copyright 2010.
