Lynn Hamilton – författare

Directed primarily toward undergraduate or graduate business or communications students, this text also provides practical content to current and aspiring industry professionals.

Accounting, often described as "the language of business", requires a diverse set of written, listening and oral communication skills if those who practise it are to be effective. Given the pace of change relating to, for example, the evolution of international accounting standards and the demands for greater transparency, accountants must be clear, responsive, and audience-focussed communicators.

Employers of accountants consistently comment on the need for their new graduate recruits and trainees to have strong written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills. In this light accounting educators face the challenge of designing and delivering programmes that reflect professional expectations on the part of employers and clients, and educating students on how to make informed communication choices in order to achieve desired results and to build good working relationships.

The chapters in this book deal with such topics as accounting students’ perceptions of oral communication skills; competence-based writing skills; and the development of listening skills.

This book was originally published as Accounting Education: an international journal.

In October 2016, Lynn Hamilton found herself doubled over a sidewalk experiencing her

second anxiety attack.

That was the impact of the threats and subterfuge from work colleagues she once thought

she could trust. And her story is by no means unique. Though few of their stories are known,

thousands of people experience bullying in the workplace. Fear of retaliation, a desire to

forget, or a lack of evidence are just some of the reasons why these stories remain hidden.

Divided into four gripping sections, this memoir delves deep into Hamilton''s harrowing lived

experience. From deteriorating trust and collaboration with her manager and coworkers, to

the insomnia that then began to cloud her judgement, Hamilton spares no detail in the

recount of her torment and abuse.

With courage and help, Hamilton finally chose to speak up.

Would there be a breakthrough?

"Blood in the Water" is a raw and powerful testament to resilience, highlighting the importance

of addressing workplace bullying and the profound lessons that emerge from the depths of

adversity.
