Summary "The Art and Science of Communication introduces you to a new way of understanding and using communication in the workplace to achieve better results and greater professional success." "Communication specialist P.S. Perkins uses her exclusive Communication Staircase Model to bring together the seven arenas of communication that everyone engages in on a daily basis - intrapersonal, nonverbal, interpersonal, group, public, mass, and intercultural communications. Using this model, as well as practical techniques, analogies, and formulas, Perkins teaches you how to become a more effective communicator in any setting, circumstance, or situation." "Perkins merges the science of communication with practical, everyday communication occurrences within the workplace in an understandable, useful, and inspiring way. You'll master effective communication practices that achieve real results-the results you want. The Art and Science of Communication holds the ultimate key to true success. This is a guide for anyone who wants to master the art and science of communication for a more passionate, positive, and successful life."--Jacket
