The introduction of Business Communication for Success, the textbook used throughout this course,
notes that “[E]ffective communication takes preparation, practice, and persistence. There are many
ways to learn communication skills; the school of experience, or ‘hard knocks,’ is one of them. But in
the business environment, a ‘knock’ (or lesson learned) may come at the expense of your credibility
through a blown presentation to a client.” Effective communication skills are a prerequisite for
succeeding in business.
