It would be helpful if you could give some concrete examples of the sorts of situations where you want to improve your writing or speaking skills. Are you wanting to communicate more effectively at work, in your personal life, or somewhere else? I might recommend a different book depending on the answer. A couple of books that have helped me: - The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane. This book changed my life than any other. The premise is that charisma is a skill that can be learned, and isn't something that some people are born with, and that you can become more charismatic by working on your internal mental state and learn to emit signals of power, warmth and presence. I didn't used to be a people person until I read this book. - Mastering Communication At Work by Ethan Becker and Jon Wortmann. This book is specifically aimed at leaders in a business context. It contains lots of great advice on subjects such as understanding different communication styles (and tailoring your approach accordingly), managing your "ethos" i.e. the way that you come across to people, running effective meetings and many more.
