"Columnist, TV anchor, and motivational speaker Adubato (Speak from
the Heart: Be Yourself and Get Results) offers tips and strategies
for maximizing communication at home and at work. Topics include
keeping an audience engaged during presentations, saying no, and
talking to children about scary world events. Loosely categorized
under such topics as 'At Work' and 'Communication 101,' the essays
lead off with illustrative anecdotes (many about high-profile
leaders), followed by bulleted pointers for improving
communication. The chapter titled 'Dean's Scream Ended His Dream'
highlights the importance of maintaining self-control and being
aware of the impact of one's message. It illustrates how
presidential candidate Howard Dean's attempt to rally his
supporters in the face of his disappointing finish in the Iowa
caucuses was interpreted not as a rallying cry but as an
out-of-control rant capped by a primal scream. The message here is
that a speaker must know his audience and understand how his
message is being perceived. Unlike Loretta Malandro's Say It Right
the First Time, which is more instructional in tone, this work
takes a more informal approach to communication improvement.
Recommended for public and academic libraries."
*Library Journal*
"Make the Connection tells you how to 'connect' not only in your
professional life but also in your personal life. Few people could
break it down as simply and succinctly as Steve does. And anyone
that watches Steve on FOX News knows he 'makes the connection'
every time he's on TV!"
*host of FOX & Friends and New York Times best-selling author of
The Games Do Cou*
"Public speaking is always one of the best things I hate. But Steve
always tells it right; he can make any talk easier than it
sounds."
*Yankee Hall of Famer*
