Nido Qubein's life is a classic example of the American Dream 8212;yet he hasn't stopped there. As a refugee who arrived in the United States with no knowledge of the English language, no
connections, and only $50 in his pocket, Mr. Qubein has since built a multi-million dollar speaking and consulting business; serves on the board of a Fortune 500 company; is president of
High Point University; is the chairman of four distinct organizations; and has received a bounty of honors including the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, a Doctorate of Laws degree, and
induction into Beta Gamma Sigma, the honor society for business leadership.
Crediting communication skills largely for his success, Mr. Qubein demonstrates that they are essential for anyone who wants to attain success in business and in life, and believes that
our power to influence the lives of others is only as great as our ability to communicate. In HOW TO BE A GREAT COMMUNICATOR (Gildan Audio/Your Coach in a Box series; $19.98 US/$26.98
Canada); 4 CDs/approx. 4 hours), he shares his five-point plan that can help anyone unlock their potential to become a great communicator in any medium.
Whereas most communication programs address public speaking, writing, or conversation, HOW TO BE A GREAT COMMUNICATOR explores all three. This audiobook is an unusually comprehensive
communications primer, an essential tool for anyone seeking to improve their speaking, writing and face-to-face relating skills, and the ideal format for learning how to improve
communication performance.
Nido Qubein convincingly demonstrates that all successful business communication employs the same handful of basic principles 8212;whether written, spoken, or silently conveyed through
body language and attitude. Speaking with the same authority and appeal that earned him the presidency of the National Speakers Association, Qubein shares his incomparable insight on a
wide range of communication topics, including:
8226;
Getting People To Pay Attention
8226;
Connecting Through Stories And Images
8226;
Breaking Through Communication Barriers
8226;
Targeting Results For Maximum Impact
8226;
Giving Effective Speeches
8226;
Putting More Power Into Writing
8226;
Communicating In the Information Age.
