The book practises what it preaches. It is focused on a few key areas - communicating the "So what?", and it provides enough explanation and examples for you to master it, but not so much that you have to wade through repetitive pages.'<br /> - Teresa Woodland, leadership expert and communication coach, Pittsburgh USA</p><p>'This could be the best investment that you make this year to improve yourself: my former McKinsey colleagues Davina Stanley and Gerard Castles have just published a guide to helping people get traction behind their ideas. It's about ensuring that you've been understood so that you can engage people to get things done. Highly recommended.'<br /> - Robert Lakin, Co-founder, Analytika Research, Tel Aviv</p><p>'I highly recommend The So What Strategy.
