Description

This dynamic, skills-based introduction to personal communication provides students with the keys to improving their personal, academic, and professional lives through the power of human interaction and expression.

With a distinctively encouraging and conversational approach, Fujishin explains the basic communication skills necessary for numerous contexts—including public speaking, small group, interpersonal, intercultural, leadership, interviewing, and technology-based communication.
