In this article, my research work will help you understand the value of effective of mindful communication. We will take a closer look at why it is an important tool for leaders in organizational management and how it can also help us in our personal lives.

Knowing how to engage in active listening and communicate effectively, without criticizing or offending others, are significant components for anyone interested in developing more successful communication skills.

What did you learn from Breaching Communication Barriers that you would use in your daily life?

The audiobook highlights important ideas and subjects. The first lesson I've learned is that mindful communication is something to be earned with knowing, experience and work. And although some of us are natural leaders, the rest who are not can learn to be. The second is how vital are communication skills for personal and business relationships. There is also the "communication vs technology" issue. I have been reminded that I should be aware of the both sides of technology's effect on us. Another subject grabbed my attention strongly is how and what it means to be a good listener. I haven't known that listening has types, levels and needs learning and training, although communication skills were part of my study at the university. I also enjoyed the intercultural communication aspect. It would be great to be able to communicate with others from different places and cultures effectively and easily.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I will definately recommend this audiobook to a friend because it allows the listener to see not only the importance of communication skills, but also to determine the structure or the technique for building those skills.

What other book might you compare Breaching Communication Barriers to and why?

M. Berry is suggesting a strategy of how the gender may influence communication effectiveness and how women may manage this environment of male dominance or culture differences. To gain power and success in male-dominated fields, some women have adopted communication means “to behave and talk...like many men do,” according to George F. Simons and Deborah Weissman, authors of Men and Women: Partners at Work. Therefore, M. Berry’s theory that women are aggressive in communicating and men are more passive well fits the current trends of how women find ways to overcome these differences at the work place. The author is offering not only a clear strategy in theory, but she also offers the basic of how to master these skills.
