Summary:

"Effective communication is essential to standing out at work and excelling in your career. But when it comes to making a convincing point in a meeting, crafting a perfect email, or nailing a presentation (in-person or virtual), there's a lot to navigate. What kind of language do you use with a varied audience, which channel is best for which message, how much do body language and Zoom backgrounds matter, and what should you not say? Writing, Presenting, and Communicating with Confidence is filled with practical advice from HBR experts that can help you answer questions like: How can I prepare for the most-difficult conversations? Do I have what it takes to give a great presentation? What can I do to improve my writing? In what ways can I overcome public speaking anxiety? How do I combat imposter syndrome to communicate with confidence? How can I boost my presence and influence at work and on social media? Writing, speaking, and communicating at work can be daunting tasks. This book will help you better understand and confidently apply these skills in an approachable way"-- Provided by publisher.
