Customer Reviews

Great for All Executives

Communication Counts is a great, easy-to-read, highly accessible book written by a former TV news anchor who now coaches top CEOs with media and business communications skills. I'm using this book in my every day work with clients and colleagues. Also using it with teaching my MBA students. I LOVE this book.

How to give a presentation.... for dummies!

This book is a great read. I have been reading it in small pieces (mostly over breakfast). After each piece, I have noticed that I have made a change to a presentation, powerpoint, or speech I'm about to give. Ms. Civiello has a great knack for explaining why things work or don't work in presentations. The explanations and analogies really do stick with you.

Communication Does Count

After reading this book, it's clear why the New York Times dubbed Mary Civiello "the communications guru." The ability to communicate clearly and effectively is critical to professional success, and anyone who follows Civiello's tips will come out ahead.

Communication Counts is the Key to Success

If you have ever wondered how to write a speech, this is the book for you. It is quick, easy read that gives you the 1, 2, 3 of how to make your communications with public be effective and interesting for your audiences. Too often, I have heard people speaking who not only bore me but never get to the point. YAWN. Ms Civiello makes it easy to update and reform your speeches so that no one will ever be board again. I am going to give this book to all of associates and friends who have to make presentations so that they can "jolt" their audiences interest right from the start. MM
