Stephen R. Howe, Jr.US Chairman and Americas Managing Partner, Ernst & Young
Effective communication is absolutely critical to successful leadership. Sullivan reminds us that when we‘re communicating, audiences are listening to hear one thing: what does this mean for me? 'Simply Said' is a candid guide to improve our ability to connect with others, and as a result, improve our impact as communicators and leaders.
Tom BradleyPresident of Retail, TD Ameritrade
Jay Sullivan's approach to communication — and the virtues of this book — extend well beyond how to speak and write more clearly. Embedded within is a deeper philosophy of leadership rooted in attentiveness to others that is both appealing and compelling. This book is a valuable resource to those who are, or aspire to be, leaders.

Adhering to the mantra of the 'Simply Said' title, I have just one piece of advice: Read this book! You will learn how to communicate better by focusing less on yourself and more on others. The world would be a much better place if we would all talk less and listen more.

'Simply Said' shows us how to communicate effectively by focusing, not on our own perspective, but on the perspective of our audience and their interests.

In my more than 25 years in the business world and as a college professor, communication skills have consistently been the most important enabler for success and the skill that I still practice to this day. This book is the perfect communications ‘how to excel‘ guide for students and provides well-founded approaches and practical applications. This book will be my communications resource guide and I would recommend that all future leaders take the time to learn these skills and invest in their future.
