Publisher's Summary

Brevity is confidence. Length is fear. This is the guiding principle of Smart Brevity, a communication formula built by Axios journalists to prioritize essential news and information, explain its impact and deliver it in a concise and visual format. Now, the co-founders of Axios have created an essential guide for communicating effectively and efficiently using Smart Brevity—think Strunk and White’s Elements of Style for the digital age.

In SMART BREVITY: The Power of Saying More with Less, Axios co-founders Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz teach listeners how to say more with less in virtually any format. They also share communications lessons learned from their decades of experience in media, business and communications.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The "Your Communication Skills Suck" book

This book is a much-needed slap to the face. Why it Matters: Technology has turned communicating on its head. Nobody has time for excessive wordy verbosity or a grandelinquent stream of orthographically sound prose. Fed-up with inboxes full of useless junk, we all want brief, simple, meaningful messages. This book makes the case with clear examples and instructions. If you can get past the start, which pulls no punches, it will equip you with a new messaging arsenal.

Bottom-Line: Read this book if you think nobody is listening and you're ready for some bitter medicine.

Contenu du livre très simpliste

Lecture rapide (3h), mais le contenu est léger. Soyez concis, utiliser des mots simples, favoriser les bullet points.

Ne soyez pas un robot.

Voilà.

Je recommande si vous avez aucune experience en communication, mais sinon c’est la base,
