I did not learn anything from this book. This was filled with new acronyms for marketing purposes. Pass on this one.
Thanks

As a professional organizer and time management coach, I am consistently working with clients to teach them how to manage interruptinos and over-committment. Meryl Runion does a great job of helping us realize we CAN do this. She provides step-by-step instructions and sample conversations to make it as easy as possible. This is a great resource!

Lasting power is in relationship smarts. We can become more "powerful" when we put people up and make them feel good about their positive actions than if we react with a vengeance.
This book also teaches how to approach conflict. We could belittle the other person (or ourselves if we are criticizing ourselves) with poison words, or we could approach the problem with them knowing the problem, and having the drive to fix it.
The book also discusses how to ask for help in a way that makes people feel like a part of your team instead of being "dragged into doing another favor for you."
I recommend this book.
Thank you Meryl!!! February 7, 2007

Your book has saved my professional and personal self-confidence with communicating. Usually my conversations and correspondence were long, drawn out, and the other person would get lost in "words." My tendencies were to get the "last word" in a conversation, sometimes with a little barb, thinking I was leaving a lasting impression. Wrong... Your book is a ready reference for phrases that are specific and short, but quick and to the point. Thank you for your saying: say what you mean, mean what you say, without being mean when you say it. That one phrase sums it up!
Maybe too much publicity and a colorfull cover. February 1, 2007

Well, if you are a Neanderthal guy with no experience at all on comunnication with people on your own species, buy this book RIGHT NOW. On other hand, if you are even a little polite and educated this book will not tell you anything new. Anyway, if you are looking to increase your comunicattion skills, you could use one or two pages of the whole book. I think that it is too litle for 200 more pages.It is up to you.
