Description

 

Do you worry about holding people’s attention during presentations?

Are you unsure where to start when faced with writing an essay or report?

Are you preparing for an interview and wondering how to get all your points across?

Explanation – identifying and communicating what we want to say – is an art.

And the BBC presenter and journalist Ros Atkins, creator of the viral ‘Ros Atkins on…’ explainer videos, is something of a master of the form.

In this book, Ros shares the secrets he has learned from years of working in high-pressure newsrooms, identifying the ten elements of a good explanation and the seven steps you need to take to express yourself with clarity and impact.

Whether at work, school, university or home, we all benefit from being able to articulate ourselves clearly.

A great read for polishing your communication skills’ – Forbes

For all those who want their audiences to listen and understand’ – Jeremy Bowen

Precision, deftness and a calming expertise’ – The Times
