Book Information
Fitly Spoken is our anchor book
The bedrock of any relationship is communication; yet, the ability to communicate isn’t intrinsic to our natures. We must learn to do it. This book takes a look at the many methods and techniques which can be learned and developed to help build your relationships within the many different spheres of your life. From marriage to business, the principles taught in this book can help you achieve stronger relationships through the use of effective communication skills. Developed from Biblical principles and extensively tested, Fitly Spoken will give you the tools you need to become an effective and dynamic communicator.
Have you ever said something you didn’t mean? Have you ever struggled to express your feelings? Have you ever said something you later regretted? Have you ever acted on misunderstanding and either been hurt or hurt someone else? Do you find yourself arguing endlessly with neither giving in nor anything getting accomplished? Have you tried to correct someone in sincerity only to have them be offended? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then this book is for you.
Learn to express yourself in ways that others understand and can relate to. Learn to avoid the dangers of misunderstandings and cut through tangled emotions to discern what is really trying to be said. Use trigger words and phrases to promote positive reactions to negative situations. Establish good communication lines with those around you, and forge stronger and more meaningful relationships in every area from personal to business. Learn what to say, how to say it, and when to say it.
Written for the average person or the business professional, Fitly Spoken is your guide to developing strong communication and social skills in any environment or circumstance. Life is relationships-and communication is how we explore the depth and breadth of that relationship. This book will give you the tools to effectively communicate with everyone in your life.
