Human-Centered Communication: A Business Case Against Digital Pollution by Ethan Beute and Stephen Pacinelli

About the Book:

Digital pollution is the problem. Human-centered communication is the solution.

We're spending more time than ever in virtual environments. That will only increase, as will the amount of noise we encounter there. The seemingly endless series of unwelcome digital distractions range from frustrating to dangerous.

As individuals and businesses, we not only spend time and energy managing this digital pollution, we often create it. At risk are relationships and revenue.

The only viable way forward is to be more thoughtful, intentional, and personal. Human-Centered Communication provides a philosophy and practice to help you connect in more meaningful and effective ways with prospects, customers, team members, and every stakeholder in your success. Learn to:

Break through the noise and earn attention
Build trust and create engagement
Enhance your reputation with both people and algorithms

The concepts and models in this book apply to any form or channel of communication, but human centricity favors video.

More visual and emotional than faceless digital communication, video enhances tone, intent, subtlety, nuance, and meaning. Learn to be clearer and more confident on camera in live video calls, meetings, and presentations, as well as in recorded video emails, social messages, and text messages.
