One of the Top Communication Books this Decade!

This book should be taught at the college level. It is an extremely well written book that captures the essence of business communication and what it should be. How many of us have sat through boring word wall presentations of list after list of speakers notes. The next time someone makes me sit through one I am going to send them this book.

The basic concepts of Visual Thinking: Look, See, Imagine, Show are helpful in providing a framework for developing your thoughts prior to starting any presentation. Then using the SQVID guide to understand what type of picture to use helps you think through the problem and finishing with the author's six ways we see and show of Who/what, how much, where, when, how, and why provides a guide for how to communicate your ideas.

I never read a business book twice but find myself studying this one. I have read over 50 business books in the last 18 months and this is at the very top of my list.

Great book. Adds a new dimension to effective communication. I have no doubt that it will be a great help to me in future presentations.

Building Shared Understanding

An excellent insight into the visual thinking process. It provides a logical tool to produce simple and powerful visual representations of concepts and problems. I have been utilising visual thinking techniques for some years and have found it is often the only effective way to rapidly build shared understanding with people. Shared understanding is an essential basis for sound decision making and coordinated action.

I can now use this excellent text as a tool to lead others down the same path.

Well done Dan!
