Remember when you were an undergraduate and freshman composition seemed so irrelevant to your life? After all, you were going to conquer the world with technological know-how. Your spellcheck software would handle the details. Now that you're a professional - pitching an idea, vying for a contract or grant, or presenting at a meeting - getting your point across effectively suddenly seems pretty essential for success, doesn't it?

Fear not. This light-hearted text, brimming with proven techniques, good advice, and real-world examples that you can easily apply to your own case, will turn you into an adept communicator. Written expressly for technologists, this is a simple, concise, and practical guide to the communication dynamics of writing, presentation delivery, and meeting interaction.

Herbert Hirsch, in-demand consultant who developed these techniques for his own prolific engineering career, teaches you how to use "scripting" to plan for communication events. More than a mere outline or storyboard, scripting is a powerful technique that assists you in getting the right structure and content, in the proper order.

Using scripting, you will master the fundamental principles of communicating:

• How to grab the reader's or audience's attention from the start
• How to maintain the connection while proceeding smoothly from topic to topic
• How to provide the substantiation for the points you made
• How to communicate with people from other groups, such as marketers, investors, users, and others
• How to overcome such obstacles as fear, boredom, and aversion to your material

Distilling the art of communication to its essence, Essential Communication Strategies empowers you to communicate with confidence and authority in every situation, to every audience.Direct download links available for PRETITLE Essential Communication Strategies: For Scientists, Engineers, and Technology Professionals POSTTITLE

Essential Communication Strategies: For Scientists, Engineers, and Technology Professionals PDF

In this very little book (less than 200 pages), you'll find a treatment of the too often neglected aspect of effective communication: mental and psychological preparation. It discusses many issues that are responsible for ineffective communication.

The first part deals with written documents, part II with formal presentations, part III with informal discussions, part IV about cross-culture communication. Each part tackles the three important aspects of communication: planning, building the right attitude, and finally producing. Communication requires that one knows what one wants to communicate and how to do it. This book will change your way of thinking about effective communication.

By Steve Uhlig

Insightful, humorous, introspective, this little book is nothing less than an inviting series of conversations about what it takes to be an interesting, engaging writer and speaker. I know first-hand how tough that is for many in engineering, and I'm sure this lovely little collection of practical advice is genuinely helpful. It's refreshing to read as well as grounded in the reality of what engineers must deliver on the job.
