Hello Everyone,
One of my students asked me for recommendations on "communications
books for a soon-to-be college grad."
I like the Redish "Letting Go of the Words" and the Davidson "Business
Writing: What Works, What Won't" for writing.
I also think he could use a presentation book on good PowerPoint, but
don't know what to recommend there. I always liked Kawasaki, but don't
know if he's published.
Finally, I think he could use something about speaking and giving presentations.
What are your top picks for these categories? Did I miss any categories?
