You Are What You Don't Say - Finding a New Paradigm for Business Communication is about bringing a new era of respect, trust, kindness and inspiration to all of our business lives. The modern world of human interaction has become a strange mix of old and new, appropriate and inappropriate, effective and ineffective, and can include too many downright disrespectful and failed attempts at dialogue. Even with all of the enormous changes in technology, the way people work and interact, and the overwhelming demands placed on humans' ability to rapidly exchange information, there has been almost no societal adaptation of guidelines for how we should communicate effectively. What businesspeople need is direction toward a new paradigm for how we all interact with each other.This is not just another book about where to put your hands when you talk.
