COARSEGOLD, Calif., June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mediator and coach John Nielsen teaches readers how to connect and disconnect so that they can collaborate more efficiently in his comprehensive guide to strategically and purposefully communicating with others. In “Effective Communication Skills,” Nielsen taps into basic communication techniques to share practical tools for analyzing communication scenarios and provides engaging prompts in a workbook format.
Each chapter addresses a specific step in the communication process and explains in simple language how certain behaviors can hamper communication and others can bolster it. Using these techniques, readers can learn how to establish immediate rapport, initiate and facilitate change, and reduce stress by learning how to conquer difficult situations, whether in social life or their professional environment.
“This book offers an opportunity to people from all backgrounds to develop an improved understanding of assertiveness and to have at hand a basic training workbook from which they can apply these principles both to themselves and to others.,” Nielsen wrote in the preface of his book.
“Effective Communication Skills” also draws on Nielsen’s background as a Christian who has recovered from addiction. Nielsen’s book is peppered with inspiring verses from scripture that relate directly to the communication scenarios and techniques his book covers. Perfect for faith-focused groups or addiction support groups, “Effective Communication Skills” helps others come together in times of difficulty and create strong, trusting community bonds.

Spending the time to acquire these skills has made a difference in my life and I expect these skills will make the difference in yours.”
