Product reviews for Making Your Words Work
Kathleen Ginn, Developer of the Rapid Sensory Learning method of learning and author of The Secret Learning Code
Improving communication, learning and behaviour within an educational system is not a bad idea given the stresses and strains that educators and students are put under today in the modern world. There is no more fun in classrooms as deadlines, tests and red tape rules have begun to dominate both educators and students lives.
So what in this book could possibly offer a solution to transforming the stresses of being in the educational system? Well, just the title is enough to make that promise of a solution. The challenge is that people learn their speech patterns from the time of conception and from their family, followed by education. So does NLP have all the answers to enabling educators and students to communicate better?
This book is not an easy read. It is not something you sit down with and read in one sitting. However, where it is excellent in value is as a group study book. In other words if the educator and students sat down together and dealt with each chapter, the exercises and worked together to practise the principles contained within the pages of this book ” the book would fulfil its promise.
True learning is not just an auditory/visual experience. It is a combination of auditory, visual and kinaesthetic and this book is very much about using all three if the patterns of language conditioned from the womb are to be transformed into something that enables individuals to communicate effectively in all areas of life.
Group discussions and experiences within the educational field are going to become more and more popular. You could call them skill sessions. And this is where the book Making Your Words Work can be a leader. It has practical suggestions and exercises and each chapter allows you to build upon a layer of word skill that finally finishes with an understanding that communication is complex and if you know how to read the signals from the language being communicated from another, you can create rapport, seek to understand instead of being right and more importantly appreciate another for having different approaches and opinions on a subject without feeling your own approach and opinion is “wrong'.
Highly recommended as a group skill session book.
