In the compelling read "You Are the Message," Roger Ailes masterfully unravels the profound truth that communication extends far beyond the mere words we utter. Ailes, with his extensive experience in media and communication, delves into the intricate dance of signals and symbols that constitute human interaction. He posits that every gesture, facial expression, tone of voice, and even our sense of humor, sends a powerful message about who we are to our audience. This book serves as a mirror, reflecting the often overlooked aspects of ourselves that shape the messages we send to the world. Through a series of insightful observations and practical advice, Ailes guides the reader on a journey of self-discovery and skill enhancement. "You Are the Message" emerges as an essential handbook for anyone looking to refine their communication skills, asserting that the key to effective messaging lies in the harmony between our words and our being. In this transformative work, Ailes challenges us to embrace our entirety as the most profound message we can offer, ensuring that when we speak, the world listens not just to our words, but to the symphony of signals we emit. This book is not just a read; it's an awakening to the power of personal presence in the art of communication.

THE TEN MOST COMMON PROBLEMS Here are the ten most common problems in communications. Read the list. If any of them apply to you, the principles in this book will help you solve them. 1. Lack of initial rapport with listeners 2. Stiffness or woodenness in use of body 3. Presentation of material is intellectually oriented; speaker forgets to involve the audience emotionally 4. Speaker seems uncomfortable because of fear of failure 5. Poor use of eye contact and facial expression 6. Lack of humor 7. Speech direction and intent unclear due to improper  preparation 8. Inability to use silence for impact 9. Lack of energy, causing inappropriate pitch pattern, speech  rate, and volume 10. Use of boring language and lack of interesting material Various polls show that the ability to communicate well is ranked the number-one key to success by leaders in business, politics, and the professions. If you don’t communicate effectively, you may not die, like some POWs or neglected babies we mentioned earlier, but you also won’t live as fully as you should, nor will you achieve personal goals. This was a lesson drummed into me at a very early age.
