Represent!
Four Dimensions of Great Communication
It’s clear that communication is a critical skill both in the workplace and in our personal lives. Represent! will coach you towards a level of communication full of understanding, connection and impact.
With over twenty five years of experience in communication training, Andy Gurnett has distilled his understanding of the issues that surface again and again.
In Represent!, you’ll be shown four dimensions of communication and will learn how to prioritise them to create a powerful approach to connect with listeners, get your points across and achieve the results you want.
Inside, you’ll find:
A model you can apply to any communication situation
Quick Hits, for when you don’t have much time
Deep Dives, when the communication is very important
Specific application in meetings, presentations, writing, interviews, networking and virtual communication
Reviews and Praise
“A great read, well-structured, honest, and easy to digest. This book is relatable, and refreshingly jargon-free.”
TC, Vice President Field and Partner Learning, Red Hat
“Having had a career that was, by and large, all about communication with visitors, staff, potential hires, management, executive leadership, and most of all Congress, I thoroughly enjoyed this succinct and yet thorough book. The emphasis on mindfulness, values, enthusiasm, confidence, and relatable examples resonated very keenly. It was easy to grasp the ‘Represent!’ template because the organization of thoughts, ideas, and caveats flowed so naturally and consistently.”
Marc Kochenderfer, former Assistant Director for Operations, U.S. Capitol Visitors Center
