SpeakStrong Gets to Heart of the Message, Nov 14 2010
By Barbara McNichol - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Speak Strong: Say what you MEAN. MEAN what you say. Don't be MEAN when you say it. (Paperback)
I edit non-fiction books, and that means I look at books with a different eye than most people. My review of SpeakStrong comes from three perspectives. 1. What Meryl does for her readers, 2. How she does it (writing style) and 3. What readers can learn from her.1. Meryl does the same thing for the spoken word that I do for the written word. She helps people find their voice and express their strongest message in ways people can understand. She helps them cut out the clutter and express the substance effectively.
2. I wish most of my clients had as developed a structure as Meryl does in her SpeakStrong book. She divides her SpeakStrong Method into five steps with 52 supporting skillsets. Each skill set begins with stories and examples the reader can identify with, and then provides tips with dos and don'ts, what to say and what not to say. That makes the more abstract principles very concrete. The book is very user-friendly and accessible.
3. As an editor, I often have to tell my clients things they don't want to hear. I might have to tell them their pet story doesn't work, or they need to rework something they thought they had mastered. Meryl clearly addresses how to give the right kind of feedback in the right way--an immensely useful tool in how to SpeakStrong.
Meryl says that writer's block is often an authenticity block. I agree with that. Once an author gets to the heart of the message, the words flow more freely. That's precisely what Meryl has done here!
Whether you're a writer or business professional looking for help with the spoken word, you'll get what you're looking for and a lot more in SpeakStrong.

Amazed at Meryl's ability to empower!, Nov 12 2010
By angela - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Speak Strong: Say what you MEAN. MEAN what you say. Don't be MEAN when you say it. (Paperback)
Speak Strong has opened up a new world for me. I was already on board with the values Meryl embraces, but was often left speechless in situations because I didn't know how to say what I was thinking or feeling. Reading Speak Strong is changing that!I'm discovering new tools that are invaluable in creating new skills - one step at a time. I'm again amazed at Meryl's ability to empower! She presents each tool or "skill" in such a way that you're not left feeling bad about the times you fall short, but you're eager to take the "higher road"!
And she shows you how! Each skill is clear and practical. The next step becomes obvious - and do-able.
Speak Strong is unique! Yes, it's inspirational. Yes, it's practical. But even greater, it's empowering!
My eyes and ears are open in a new way! Wish I had had access to these skills several decades ago! A great gift for the high school graduate - or someone in their sixties, like me!

The Definitive resource to Speaking Strong, April 17 2011

This review is from: Speak Strong: Say what you MEAN. MEAN what you say. Don't be MEAN when you say it. (Paperback)
For normal people who need a simple tune in their speaking mechanics and etiquette, this is the perfect book. Speak Strong by Meryl Runion provides very specific examples, of what to say, and what not to say in almost every basic situation you encounter throughout your day. Meryl Runion even adds in real life situations she has been in over the course of her life, the ending results, and how speaking effectively could have changed the outcome in a positive way.This book was more than just a book full of examples, advice, and extensive lists of power phrases to say. Speak Strong was practically a life saver for me. I am severely aspergic, and have very much difficulty even saying hi to people that are part of my family, let alone friends or strangers. Because of this book, I feel I can go to school confidently and speak to people.
My favorite thing about this book is that it describes in detail, why many of us fall short on our commitments to speak strong. For me, most of them hit my communication blocks right on the mark. I haven't read the whole book, but I have read about fifty pages, and skimmed though it countless times to know that this book is very useful for even the most advanced or subdued speakers.
I can defiantly say that this book will reinforce my speaking so that I can say what I mean, mean what I say, without being mean when I say it.
