Mwah

Het boek is hartstikke interessant! Helaas wel veelal gericht op communicatie op de werkvloer en niet op sociaal vlak, als het dat al was net niet op de manier hoe je het dan zou moeten aanpakken.

Toch ook verschillende dingen van kunnen leren die ik toch op andere momenten wil proberen toe te passen.

Lois P. Frankels tekst leest enorm vlot. In een mum van tijd heb je het boek uit! Dit was het eerste werk dat ik van haar las. De tips waren zeker enorm bruikbaar, vooral het DESC-script is zeker iets dat ik ga onthouden.

Alleen vond ik sommige manieren van communiceren te hard of te moeilijk voor iemand als ik (die een echte people pleaser is 😉). Ik dacht vaak ‘Wow, dat iemand dat durft zeggen. Dat zou ik nooit doen.’ Hierdoor bleef ik een beetje op mijn honger zitten, omdat ik graag een iets laagdrempeligere manier van krachtig communiceren zou willen ontdekken.

Al bij al wel echt een aanrader! Ik ben blij dat ik hem heb gelezen. 🤗

Some good practical tips here, 3.5⭐️

‘Nice Girls Don’t Speak Up’ by Lois P. Frankel is a feminist book filled with tips to improve your communication strategies in a male dominated business world. Guilty of being too much of a ‘nice girl’ sometimes, the tips in this book gave me a different perspective on how to clearly communicate, while coming on strong, and remaining polite. Although somewhat dated, techniques like DESC are still useful.

[Audrey Darovich]

I really enjoyed the examples through out the book. I just don't really agree that more than half of the "female" related problems are things I relate to. I work in an industry that has more women than men so our opinions are much more valued than in others.

[Elisabeth Jewell]

Definitely got some good scripts and talking tips that will help me navigate the world and be taken seriously.

Dit boek is een mooie opsomming van wat goede en bruikbare tips! Het wordt aangevuld door concrete voorbeelden en dialogen.

Echter is het boek wel volledig gericht op vrouwen, is heel Amerikaans en voornamelijk gericht op de werkvloer en niet op sociaal vlak, waardoor de tips niet door iedereen en in alle situaties even goed bruikbaar zijn. Alsnog heb ik genoten van het boek en erg veel geleerd.

(Ik heb er zolang over gedaan omdat ik het boek tussendoor een tijd kwijt ben geraakt haha)

Note: I listened to this book on Audible. What stood out to me here were the practical examples that Frankel pairs with her advice. However, some example scenarios were too long for their own good, and their point could have been made more efficiently, imo. I also agree with what she says early on in the book at the content should be used as a reference depending on what you need at different points in your life. Some info/examples were a little dated, but overall, I would recommend.

[Lis Harmusical]

Overall, the tips in the book are common sense. There are some tips I could really use. I liked the way the author wrote examples to explain what the tips meant. Also, I liked how she wrote very informal, just like she was having a conversation with me. Nice structure of the book; at the end of every chapter there’s a summary of the tips given in there.

[Sheila Drieman]

Ik ben blij dat ik het boek gelezen heb, maar kwam er echt niet doorheen. Normaal lees ik ten minste 1 boek per week, maar hier deed ik een maand over.🙈 De laatste 3 hoofdstukken vond ik het meest interessant.

This book taught me a lot

[Fenna Brand]

Good book, just too much focus on the work aspect and less on social life.

[Eva.]

Wat een interessant boek en zitten zeker goede tips in om te gebruiken zowel op persoonlijk vlak als op de werkvloer.

[Imogen Eden]

Not as good as the original but some useful nuggets in there

[Annemieke]

4,5☆

[Yvonne de Wijn]

Zit wat inspiratie tussen.
De opbouw is helder, in korte hoofdstukken met duidelijke thema's.
Gelijk praktische tips aan het eind van ieder hoofdstuk.

Inhoudelijk is het wat gedateerd en erg Amerikaans.

[Ann Patterson]

Speak up and stand out

Dr. Frankel in this book gives concrete examples of how to navigate not only the business world but also the personal world of friendship and relationship. She has outlined methods which with practice can lead to smoother communications with those around you. I am so glad I bought this book so I can refer back to it over and over
