Everyday we are growing increasingly accustomed to instant messaging through our mobile phones and computers, it is not surprising that witty and confident conversations are something that many individuals do not practice much, especially with the excess use of emoticons.

​

While the world perceives itself to be ever more so connected through technology, ironically we are losing touch with face-to-face communication. Dean Shams reveals the art of speaking strategically and confidently to access greater business potential and opportunities.

Speak Smart, Make Your Mark is a timely resource for leaders in both the private and public sectors to enhance effectiveness in moving from plans to results and bringing the whole team with you. It is also a great tool for aspiring managers to develop self-efficacy by stepping into the shoes of others seeing how they define you by the way you communicate.

​

Unlike other publications on ‘communicating effectively’ that merely provide how-to lists of language tips and platitudes, this book gets to the heart of the issue – our mindset.

This book has made me view communication in a new light. I felt I communicated well before, but there was much that I wasn’t doing or didn’t realise before. This book is a valuable resource.
