Review by Abby Field for Talicor Totika Rating: This product was a wonderful tool to use with children who love the game Jenga. I also purchased the additional Talicor cards that had to do with divorce, peer pressure and then created some of my own from my own experience when working with families. The parents and kids love playing this game as it is a great tool to get to know one another.

Review by "Leo" for Talicor Totika Rating: Totika is an okay game; however, I find the cards written in a language that is much to advanced for inner city youth. I've used the game with ages 8-15, and they love the concept of the game, but many of the questions contain vocabulary that they don't understand. I have actually written my own questions on index cards to use with the game.

Review by agoura books for Talicor Totika Rating: I use this as part of the counseling lesson with 3-5 graders--they are more willing to open up and share feelings and thoughts when they control the color they pick and then can read the question. It isn't something you'd use weekly but use 1-2 times a month for 15 minutes as part of the counseling lesson.

Review by J. Parson for Talicor Totika Rating: I purchased this game to use with children and their parents or siblings during home-based social work services. It is a great tool. It is much like the "Jenga" game in building a tower and removing individual blocks, but it differs in that there are several optional decks of cards with questions that are asked during each person's turn. The card decks can emphasize things like self esteem and social skills. I've used it with one of my families so far and even the adults had fun. Most important was the way family members were learning from each other about their perspectives and experiences. Of course, the fact that I was there to hear their responses helped me to gain more insight about how to help the family or an individual child. Well worth the money to me. It would also be great just to use with your own family. It opens up conversation and creates lots of opportunities for laughter.

Review by J. L. Hadden for Talicor Totika Rating: I use this game in counseling sessions with adolscents and adults. The game engages them in the process and the cards provide useful questions to help them explore a variety of topics. I bought all the additional sets of cards available and have found the Teen-Adult set to be the most enjoyable. In addition, the questions are not so "therapeutic" that it would exclude families from playing. The Self-Esteem card deck would be a good conversation starter for talking with your children. I highly recommend this product.

This is a terribly written and composed text. No school anywhere should use it.

great price, great experience!, May 28, 2009

This review is from: Workplace Communications: The Basics (Paperback)

At the university bookstore "Workplace Communications" (new) cost what I pay for gas each week. I found it (used) at Amazon.com for 20% of that, including shipping. The copy was in what I call virtually super condition and I received it in a reasonable amount of time. A virtually excellent experience.
Thanks,
Michael

Workplace Communications, January 3, 2006

David Marks "tech writer" (Charleston, WV USA) -

This review is from: Workplace Communications: The Basics (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

Having taught technical writing, workplace communications, and business English at three different institutions--community college, four-year institution, and private university--and possessing an earned doctorate with an English minor, I find Searle's textbook user friendly, relevant, and functionally practical for nontraditional students, particularly those seeking applied science associate degrees that are terminal. Each of the 10 chapters relate to written and spoken communicative tasks that are required on the job for most persons employed in skilled and paraprofessional positions. The format of the text is inviting and varied without being cluttered or obtrusive. Every community and technical college should consider this text for nontraditional "technical" or business writing courses.

Effective communication guide, March 27, 2011

Caufrier Frederic (Belgium) -

This review is from: Words That Work In Business: A Practical Guide to Effective Communication in the Workplace (Nonviolent Communication Guides) (Paperback)

Communicating with empathy (towards ourselves or others) is something we are not used to do. Ike Lasater writes here an excellent guide illustrating the whole process but aimed more towards the workplace (see contents).

Empathic communication or nonviolent communication (NVC) is the opposite of the judgmental style of communication. And this judgmental communication style is something most of us have been brought up with and use in (work) relationships. The only issue with this judgmental style of communication is that it results in a loss of connection (within ourselves or with others).

The NVC communication model based on 4 steps is covered in detail by Ike Lasater (Ref Marshall B. Rosenberg):
- To observe, without judgment, analysis or evaluation
- To express feelings following up on this observation
- To express the needs connected with these feelings
- Making a request (towards ourselves or towards the other person) such these needs can be met within reason

This book is extremely well written with one big downside...although communication with empathy looks easy on paper it can be very hard to apply this empathic and highly effective communication style (mainly due to our upbringing, education and present way of communication in western cultures).

Therefore to fully profit from this concept it is highly recommended to follow-up with a basic introduction NVC course. The center for nonviolent communication organization has a great website that covers such trainings.

No help, June 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills Instantly (Paperback)

When I purchased this book, I was expecting to find new ways to improve my communications instantly. What I got from this book was a list of common sense items. Only about 10 % of this book helped. I expected more.
