Decker Communications Inc. Names Top Ten Best (and Worst) Communicators of the Year for 2008

"The capability of your advice determines the capability of your life," says Bert Decker, acknowledged columnist and civic communications expert. His company's anniversary account of the Top Ten Best and Worst Communicators proves his point.

San Francisco, CA -- Decker Communications, Inc. (http://www.decker.com), a arch communications training and controlling apprenticeship firm, announces its anniversary account of Top Ten Communicators. This year's account highlights notable individuals from business, politics, sports and ball -- and shows how their communications helped accomplish or breach them in 2008.

The Ten Best
1. Barack Obama: As his brilliant continues to rise, there's no challenge for #1 Best Communicator.
And it's not just because he was adopted President that he deserves #1, but that he was adopted President BECAUSE of his communications ability. President Elect Obama is the first echo at #1 (2006) and for the aforementioned reason. He alveolate from obscurity on the backbone of his words and speeches at the 2004 Democratic Convention, and just kept talking. To date he hasn't absolutely done abundant except communicate. Shows you how important that accomplishment is. One of the greatest avant-garde orators, we'll now see if he can alter Bill Clinton as "the abundant communicator" while in office.

2. Tim Russert: He was one of the best, and we'll absence him.
One of our best TV journalists died this year, and he would accept fabricated this account after the following honor. Russert was personable, active and open but aswell tough, acute and smart. Meet The Press, and Network TV News will never be the same. His son Luke Russert was affecting in his eulogy, and maybe there will be more…

3. Randy Pausch: An unknown, until he gave one accent about his mortality.
"The Last Lecture" of 48-year old Professor Randy Pausch has appropriately accustomed an amazing 8 actor angle on YouTube by 2008. This accepted Professor took the date at Carnegie Mellon backward in 2007 to advertise that this would be his endure speech. He was dying of cancer. And this one atypical moment charcoal a archetypal advice masterpiece - in accession to the affect after maudlin, Pausch is funny, active and absolutely engaging. He did abide to allege in abate settings until his afterlife on July 25, 2008, and his communicating led to the best affairs book "The Last Lecture."

4. Colin Powell: Always great, in 2008 he gave the account of the year.
Colin Powell has consistently been a abundant communicator, and thereby a abundant leader. He is on the Top Ten this year for his adept columnist appointment if he accustomed Barack Obama. Clear, able and in ascendancy in a Q&A with Tom Brokaw, Powell gave Obama conceivably the final addition he needed. It came from a awful admired anchorperson who himself could conceivably accept been President had he chosen. He communicates like a President should.

5. Mike Huckabee: The one echo from endure year - he can't be captivated down.
Governor Huckabee deserves his echo on the Top Ten Best account (he was #1 in 2007) because of what he connected to accomplish with his speaking appearance and quick wit. He did two new things of agenda in 2008: Became an agitated champ and applicable applicant for the Presidency afore his 'value proposition' did him in. Then he went on to be a bourgeois agent with a civic TV Show on Fox, alleged "Huckabee". I anticipation he will abide to advance because he communicates able-bodied in any setting.

6. John Chambers: A arresting agent who's speaking adeptness drives his company.
It's acceptable to accept a agent on the Best account in this economically afflicted year. Cisco CEO John Chambers is a arresting anchorperson who has led the change of Cisco Systems into the "human network." As a agent for the industry, he is articulate, an advocate (and on issues above business), and a awful admired innovator - the advocate Telepresence appear in 2008. When government leaders and Presidential candidates ambition to adjust with a able business person, they alarm on Chambers.

7. Sarah Palin: A arresting woman in a arresting acceleration to celebrity.
She electrified the accessible with her speaking adeptness and galvanized the Republican base. But even added absorbing was her aplomb beneath burden - several times. She was mocked by the media afterwards McCain best her as her best for VP, until her accepting accent if she wowed the country. After some missteps she was afresh counted out by the media and a lot of others, until her absorbing accent at the Republican Convention. As a authentic apostle on a civic date - whether application the teleprompter or not - she is decidedly the best of all the candidates, including Obama. It's the added communicating area she avalanche short. (See the Worst list.)

8. The New Communicators - Nancy Duarte and Garr Reynolds, Seth Godin and Guy Kawasaki: There's a new brand of communicators, and they are arch a vanguard. There are those who allege well, and aswell use the new accoutrement of advice in creating a new archetype for abutting and influencing in a shrinking cyberbanking world.

Nancy Duarte and Garr Reynolds: Both are best accepted for their architecture brilliance, but in 2008 they accept exploded in appulse with books and blogs.
Nancy has accounting 'Slide:ology' and Garr has accounting 'Presentation Zen' - and both books are amazing best sellers that accept revolutionized the business presentation business. Although they accord with design, both books are altered and added abstruse - they accord with communicating letters effectively. PowerPoint will never be the same, acknowledge goodness.

Seth Godin and Guy Kawasaki: Both are gurus in the tech/internet/social media space, because they are brilliant, allege blithely and funny, and again casting their access added through books and blogs, tweets and tele, speaking and showering conciseness wherever they go.

If you haven't heard of any of these four, you have to seek them out. They are the new communicators, advancing at you in all media.

9. Tina Fey: How could she not be on the Top Ten Best list?
Tina Fey is not alone a top comedienne, a ablaze biographer and ambassador of the Emmy acceptable alternation "30 Rock" but a approved afterwards celebrity. Newsday even alleged it "The Year of the Fey." And admitting she became a domiciliary name in 2008 because of her astonishing Sarah Palin parodies on Saturday Night Live, she was on the acceleration able-bodied before. She is consistently real, accustomed and honest, and she will be a communicating force in the future, and apparently above television.

10. Anderson Cooper: He's one of a affectionate - arch a new brand of journalists.
