Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across a wide range of programs in international higher education, students prepare themselves for a career in their professional field. Learning how to communicate as a professional is an essential part of that preparation. In order to carry out their communication tasks, professionals must possess a large repertoire of knowledge and skills. They also must be able to decide what best suits the situation and the goals they want to achieve. Already during their training, students come across a variety of communication tasks that are largely new to them. For these tasks, too, they need a broad knowledge and skills repertoire from which they can make the right choices. 'Communicate as a Professional' offers a solid foundation for students to develop the communication knowledge and skills they need, both when working as a professional after they have graduated and when following an educational program that prepares them for this future.

There are many ways to do so: examples include applications and bids, conference presentations, gray literature, journal papers, media (old and new), public talks, and teaching. This book provides fresh, creative, ways of making the most of these and other opportunities. It provides 53 practical suggestions, each based on ideas tried and tested by the contributors. Key terms:communication; impact; presenting; publication; public engagement; research; social media; writing. Reviews: "I had high expectations of 53 interesting ways to communicate your research - and I wasn't disappointed. The book covers a range of communications types and challenges within academia and outside of it. [...] No section is more than 3 pages long, so you can imagine how jam packed this book is with useful and relevant information." - Dr Inger Mewburn, The Thesis Whisperer (https://doctoralwriting.wordpress.com) // "This book serves not only as a reminder of good practice, but as an inspiration for new ventures. It is the step back from our work we all need before dissemination, and even the quickest flick through will reveal less-trodden communication paths - almost daring you to have a go." - Jamie Gallagher, Chemistry World ( http://www.rsc.org/) //

Book excerpt: In one recent survey of 400 companies with at least 100,000 employees, the companies cited an average loss per company of $62.4 million per year because of inadequate communication to and between employees.\ \In another survey, 80 percent of HR professionals reported interpersonal communication as very important when advancing their careers. Perhaps more telling, directors and C-suite executives placed an even higher value on the need for interpersonal skills in the HR role: A total of 87 percent of directors and 83 percent of C-suite executives identified these skills as primary for success.\ \The HR practitioner with strong communication skills will be strategically positioned to have a great impact in the workplace. The role of HR professionals has become increasingly complex--and is likely to become even more complicated in the foreseeable future. Today's HR professionals have taken on a more strategic role that has increased their visibility throughout their organizations. \\As strategic business partners, HR professionals interact with executives, line managers, rank-and-file employees, and outside stakeholders. With this increased visibility comes an opportunity to influence the organization and its strategic objectives. This opportunity, however, depends in large part on the HR professional's ability to effectively communicate up (to superiors), down (to subordinates), and sideways (to peers).\ \Up, Down, and Sideways: High-Impact Verbal Communication for HR Professionals was written to help HR practitioners--at all levels--become better verbal communicators, thereby making them better at their jobs and more valuable to their companies. In addition to general public and interpersonal speaking tips sprinkled throughout, the book specifically addresses the many hats of the HR professional. Whether in a generalist or specialist role, HR practitioners' wide range of responsibilities can only be effectively met with strong communication skills. Staffing the firm, training employees, developing and implementing policies, and integrating HR needs with the overall organization are all responsibilities that require effective communication.\ \Just as the SHRM's HR Competency Model helps individuals "develop a road map to achieve your HR professional goals," this book draws on the application of those competencies to assist the HR professional in making a measurable impact on the organization's goals and outcomes.\ \- See more at: http://www.shrm.org/Publications/Books/Pages/Up-Down-and-Sideways.aspx#sthash.4kqMAUU8.dpuf.

In "Say This, Not That," expert communication trainer Dan O'Connor gives you the words and phrases you can use to effortlessly hit your communication target every time. With "Say This, Not That," you can skip right to the punch and learn the danger phrases to avoid-the ones that are sabotaging your message, and the power phrases to use-the ones that will enable you to deliver your message with clarity and effectiveness-the ones that will move you to a new communication level and put you in the category of savvy communicator. No more skimming through pages to find what you're looking for--every page has useful tools you'll be able to apply immediately, and examples of each phrase in use. Furthermore, this program comes complete with quick-reference reminder cards you can have at-the-ready, so you can really make these techniques your own-not just for one enthusiastic moment, but forever! What will you find in Say This Not That? 1- The words! Most chapters deal with one specific danger phrase to be eliminated from your verbal repertoire and one specific power phrase to replace it. However, since not all phrases we'll be covering have exact opposites, you'll also find chapters that deal solely with danger phrases to be purged from usage, and other chapters that deal solely with power phrases that should be added to your every day communication arsenal, to infuse your speech with punch and power. 2- The theory--A great deal of research has gone into determining the effect of words on the listener. You'll learn the reasons-the "why" of every lesson. 3- Examples--You'll find examples of situations in which the phrases should or should not be used, as well as variations of the words under discussion. 4- Quick reference cards--The number of the quick-reference card that accompanies each lesson. In the back of this book you'll find the quick-reference card. If you're using an e-reader, you can simply turn to that page and keep it open to your phrase for the day, and if you'd like to print out these cards, simply go to our website www.powerdiversity.com and click on the customer resources section. It's as easy as that to achieve new levels of communication success! "Thank you, Dan, for giving me the words! I didn't know it could be so easy to improve my communication skills. I carry your book with me wherever I go, and use the power phrases both at work and at home. Because of your training, I have a better relationship with my boss, my husband, and even my teenagers! I just can't thank you enough." -Marsha Thompson, Washington DC, USA
