Valorie Burton has brought her unique experience for success and how she has seen it applied to friends and to her clients in a book that covers how to speak successfully. I grabbed this book hoping to find what I found in “Crucial Conversations” a how-to for work to work and personal situations. However this book, did include research how successful women speak differently and include personal stories, a large part of this book was based on spirituality and faith. I do not find fault in the power of prayer but I was looking for something a bit more based in research. One of my chapter had included the research of “Power-posing.” A topic entirely grounded on research and I already had some previous knowledge of it from Ted talk. Valorie did teach me quite a bit I hadn’t learned of before, but it lacked the structure of a how-to, that I was looking for.

Great points, very useful information and self reflection. A little too many references to the Bible to my taste though.

Loved this book because it is written by a person of color from her own experience and expertise. A summary table or acronym of the 9 habits for memorizing would be good. I am writing after a long time...so its possible my suggestion is already there.
