About this listen

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them.

But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Join Dr. Allison Friederichs to discover how every single interaction we have is an opportunity to use clear and compelling communication tactics. However daunting or unpredictable the situation, we have the power to strategically choose how we communicate. Every single time. And how we communicate can change everything.

Over the course of 10 lessons, you will have fun exploring words—what they offer us, where they come from, what influences their meaning and vice versa, and how to expand your vocabulary. You’ll learn how to choose the right words for every scenario, and you’ll learn how those words can revolutionize your personal and professional life.

A good book, but nothing refreshing if you have read books on language and writing skill.

This book by Allison Atkinson is a good refresher on communication and choosing the right words in any conversation. I do not believe this is a comprehensive course. I don't know if a comprehensive course will ever be made. However, she has done a commendable job in taking the listener through the aspects of words, how they are used, and the cultural and gender nuances.
In addition, she has also examined a variety of aspects - ethical, political correctness, and the purpose of any communication.

Regard this book as a launch pad to help you dive deeper into the subject.

Her diction is clear and engaging.

A Good Refresher

The book is on point. Nothing groundbreaking is taught, but no tried and tested method is left out. And the narration is beautiful.

5.5 for the narrator

i loved every word of it and the best part was that i could connect with the author as it was her own voice. So all the jokes, puns etc were delivered really well!

After completing the listen, i tried buying this book (hard copy) , it wasnt available. nor do i see a pdf. Is there any way i can get a pdf of the book.
I really hope the author sees my feedback!! Great Job..and would love to hear her live talk someday!!

totally the need of many !
