The Verbal Image Blog, from Business Speech Improvement

Have you ever been strongly urged to do (or not do) something? Did you feel you were being manipulated? The next time this happens, ask someone else for his or her view of the issue. For many issues, you can also Google the issue online - and sometimes get a large number of responses! The upcoming elections (national, state and local) plus many claims for products or other suggested actions will provide lots of opportunities to think for yourself. If someone is vehemently opposed to, or strongly in favor of, something, know that there is often another side. Be aware - and think for yourself! Business Speech Improvement provides intensive training in communication skills for leaders, accent modification, diction, presentation skills and more. Training is available through coaching and e-books.
