Pleasantly surprised,

This review is from: How to Use Power Phrases to Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say, & Get What You Want (Paperback)
I was suspicious about a book being able to teach me how to speak effectively. I am pleasantly surprised and glad that I gave it a try. I felt like the mythical character Cassandra with the gift of telling the future but no gift of persuasion. After reading the book I now understand how to approach communication and speak with power. I am planning to buy a few copies for my younger friends who are just starting their corporate jobs.

This review is from: How to Use Power Phrases to Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say, & Get What You Want (Paperback)
This book was one of the most useful and practical books I've read during .. well, ever, really. It's conveys some simple to understand but very valuable information. It will straighten out some misconceptions you probably have about communication and, face it, communication is incredibly important at work, home, and everywhere else. The information in the book has been helpful to me at work and at home. Honestly!It's only through good fortune that I even discovered this book. I never would have read a book with such a hokey-sounding title, but it was recommended in a Skillpath course I took so I thought I'd give it a chance. Skillpath charges an obscene amount for this book so DO NOT buy it through them. Do buy and read this book though. You won`t regret it.

Just What I Needed...,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Use Power Phrases to Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say, & Get What You Want (Paperback)
This book is helping me tremendously at work and in my personal life. I had no idea how weak my language was. I was afraid to say what I thought and ask for what I want. I was always concerned that I would disapoint people out inconvenience them. This book helped me to learn how to communicate effectively while continuing to be a really nice person that gives and gets respect.
