Overview

We live in the Information Age… but not necessarily the Communication Age. One of the greatest concerns for those who lead the next generation is simply this: Am I effectively communicating with those younger than me? With so many tweets, posts, emails, commercials, and articles flying around, it can be incredibly difficult to engage the next generation and prepare them for life after graduation.

In The Art of Engaging Communication, Dr. Tim Elmore seeks to equip parents, teachers, coaches, employers, and youth workers with the knowledge and skills to effectively communicate with their young people. Through sixteen memorable images — each with a series of engaging stories, self-assessment questions, and thought-provoking discussion topics — communicators will learn and internalize important principles on how to craft ideas and messages that stick in the minds of their audiences.

The Art of Engaging Communication covers timeless topics such as:

• Authenticity
• Story
• Simplicity
• Uniqueness
• Engagement
• Interactivity
• Relevance
• Credibility
• …and many more!
