Helen’s books and products

I have written several books and created various audio and video programs to help you communicate better. This page will tell you about just a few of them, and you can find a more complete listing on the books and learning tools page on the MHW Communications website. From time to time I’ll change the ones I list here, and I’ll let you know in a post when I add new ones.

The Hidden Profit Center

This book’s sub-title is “A tale of profits lost and found through communication”, which describes exactly what it is. I wrote this book as a business fable because I wanted it to be a fast, easy ready for busy managers and executives, but readers also realize that the whimsical tale conveys a very serious message: poor communication costs companies HUGE amounts of money! Read it yourself, and then buy copies for your whole team—a small investment with a huge potential return.
Read the first two chapters free by visiting The Hidden Profit Center or simply order here for just $19.99.

“Focus on…” series of e-reports

These short reports are tightly focused on topics my readers have expressed interest in. For example, in Focus on…E-Mail you’ll learn how to bring order out of e-mail chaos. Included are specific tips on dealing with e-mail distribution lists, how to use subject lines to make sure your messages are opened, tips for writing e-mail, and more. Like the others in this popular series, Focus on…E-mail costs just $9.95. Visit Focus on… to see the others, or simply order Focus on E-mail here.

“10 Minutes for $10″

Here’s another series of short, focused products, these ones intended for folks who prefer to listen rather than read. As their name suggests, each audio recording lasts just 10 minutes and costs just $10—great value, especially if time or budget are tight. One selection from the series is 10 Minutes for $10 on Report Writing the DESIGN IT™ Way. This gives complete instructions on using my own report writing system, including how to decide what to put in your report and how to sort it into appropriate sections. Visit 10 Minutes for $10 to read about the other topics available so far, or order here for just $10.

The Business Writing Course on CD

If you’d like some in-depth, hands-on help with your business writing skills, but don’t have time to attend or book one of my workshops, this is your answer. It’s a multi-media program containing 11 modules, each one introduced by me on video and followed by a PowerPoint lesson on a specific aspect of writing. The CD also contains an exercise packet as well as some great bonuses. The $97 price tag represents excellent value, as this is a complete course you can work through at your own computer on your own schedule. If you’d like to read more about the course, and even take the first lesson free, visit The Business Writing Course on CD. Or you can simply order here.

Remember, this is just a small selection. For more of my books and learning tools, visit books and learning tools.
