Part Two, a series of language and text exercises, connects the voice to the shape and quality of individual words and phrases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Rodenburg’s time spent coaching in the worlds of business and politics, this edition reflects on how the way we use words has changed since the book was first published. It brings a renewed focus on the language of power, spoken in the worlds of politicians and company directors. This gives readers an insight into the potency of clear, direct communication. Language and text exercises provide readers with unmediated access to this new research, allowing them to practice and master the language and words that drive the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForeword by Antony Sher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428296737004,"sku":"9781350290112","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350290112.jpg?v=1774497178","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-need-for-words-by-patsy-rodenburg-9781350290112","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
