Book Description

Basically, I d like to
find more ways where we can party with the chicks in the girls
dorms, the author once said in a speech before a college election.
That s really what we all want, isn t it? Uhh...I guess that s about
it.
This is not the stellar speech one would expect
from the author of a book called Talk Like a Winner. Steve Nakamoto
shares his embarrassing communication failures and explains what he
has learned and how he could have handled past situations
differently.
Talk Like a Winner covers Nakamoto s twenty-one
rules for successful communication by devoting a chapter to each
rule. Each chapter gives a definition for the rule, personal
anecdotes from the author s experiences, and exercises for improving
proficiency in that particular area.
Some of the topics covered may seem like common
sense, such as assessing a situation to determine the tone of
conversation, and becoming a better listener so that everyone has a
chance to speak. However, Nakamoto manages to provide tips and ideas
that readers probably wouldn t otherwise think of trying.
The author has gained his current communication
prowess not only by learning from painful mistakes, but also by
stepping out of his comfort zone and approaching new situations with
an open mind. He has received two Writer s Digest International Book
Awards for his other books, Dating Rocks! and Men Are Like Fish. He
was also a human relations and communications instructor for Dale
Carnegie and Associates and served as a neuro-linguistic programming
(NLP) personal development trainer for Tony Robbins for seven years.
"...It might be wise to admit what you don t
know as well as what you do know about any given subject,"
Nakamoto says about choosing what to share in a conversation. We've
all known someone who seems to know something about everything, no
matter how obscure the topic. It can be annoying to converse with
these types of people, but we might not recognize when we do it
ourselves. This section of the book gives good tips for breaking
annoying conversation-killing habits like these. Ending a
conversation can be just as difficult as starting one. If you don t
think about how to close a conversation you can inadvertently leave
a bad impression. Nakamoto shares an experience he had with a
professional volleyball player: ...I thanked the pro for his time
and input. But what I remember most from our interaction was that he
didn t reply to me by saying... You re welcome ... instead he simply
turned and walked away from me. The book offers lots of useful tips,
exercises, and techniques for those just beginning to explore
communication techniques, rather than more experienced
communicators. Some of the advice and tips are a little cliché,
but the overall quality of the book is good. Talk Like a Winner is
recommended to those interested in working on relationships and
communication dynamics.

| Edition: 1st
Humans make distinctions constantly; those distinctions can be
barriers, obstacles, or opportunities. Conflict exists when the
differences we notice challenge us--when they require work to make
them livable. The work of conflict involves making decisions about
how to act in a specific situation and how to respond to the actions
of others. It means engaging in the potentially hard work of
interpreting, thinking in new ways, and creating effective resources
for change. The actions, responses, and interpretive schemes that
emerge between or among the parties in a conflict determine whether
the management of difference moves toward harm or toward value. This
book issues an invitation to engage in a thoughtful dialogue about
human difference, conflict, and communication. The authors draw
numerous examples from their work in mediation; they discuss a
variety of definitions, practical tools, models, and theories to
help analyze conflict and to manage differences. They encourage
readers to learn how communication competence can move discussions
away from harmful interactions and empower parties to expand their
options. The appendix provides a wealth of information in a succinct
format. It discusses basic communication skills; introduces a number
of alternative dispute resolution methods, including negotiation,
mediation, facilitation, collaboration, and public engagement; and
concludes with practical information about dialogue as an important
approach to differences.

The Series in
Communication Technology and Society is an integrated series
centering on the social aspects of communication technology. Written
by outstanding communications specialists, it is designed to provide
a much-needed interdisciplinary approach to the study of this
rapidly changing field.
The industrial nations of the world have become

computers, has become an active participant in this process. The
"human" aspect, therefore, is as important as
technologically advanced media systems in understanding
communication technology. The flagship book in the Series in
Communication Technology and Society, Communication
Technology introduces the history and uses of the new
technologies and examines basic issues posed by interactive media in
areas that affect intellectual, organization, and social life.
Author and series co-editor Everett M. Rogers defines the field of
communication technology with its major implications for
researchers, students, and practitioners in an age of ever more
advanced information exchange.
