"Communication skills is an important part of any business relationship. We spend the majority of our waking life communicating with others - whether it’s through email, text message, social media, and more. Miscommunication amongst co-workers or between employees and customers happen more often than we realize," says Orey. "Knowing how to interact with people and delivering messages in an effective manner can have a major impact on the success of any business."

A survey conducted by Hart Research Associates in 2013 revealed that 93 percent of employers value good communications skills over an individual’s college major. The survey also showed that 75% of employers are emphasizing effective oral communication skills when hiring employees.

“Someone who desires to teach people communication skills should be able to present information in a clear and concise manner. “Communications Skills Training” offers this training in an organized, yet flexible and practical format,” says Orey.

“Communication Skills Training” is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com.
