15 Tools to Improve Your Communication Skills

by Diane M. Hoffmann

In my book "Contextual Communication, Organization and Training", which is now available in 10 Parts in Kindle book format , re-titled "Improve Your Communication Skills"  I give 15 tools to help you improve your communication skills by 50-100% at home, work or play.

These are tools that I have either created or expounded from existing ones, over the years as I have sought continuously to improve my communication skills. I call them my "Tools-Within-The-Tools".

If you would like to get a copy of the Kindle books where you will find these tools, I've listed the Part # Series that contain them.
