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.

Useful book, full of thought provoking and practical techniques. A book you’ll read again and again.

Limp Biscuit
Slow start. Some parts are so obvious you’d think it was marketed for a child but some bits are genuinely interesting - the gender chapter 4, etymology, and grammar choices like using verbs (although not a hard and fast rule and it doesn’t really nail what is said) instead of adjectives so that it’s not left to the reader to come up with what is meant - they are shown. There were little bits in it like that which were interesting, but you need to dive through a lot of drivel to find them. At one point there was almost a chapter (ok, not literally but…) on what IRONY is. My niece is 9, she knows what it means to be ironic, you can hold off on the examples and differences between coincidence and irony. There is a lot of repetition generally. I also found the focus on modal verbs to soften vocab a bit limp, if someone is offended by being told fact then I would recommend some therapy over the director of said conversation being given a puff thesaurus. But then again, perhaps this is why my review sounds negative, in which case, touché. I’ll give it 3/5 - after all, I wouldn’t have bothered finishing it

How easy we assume
I thought that it was great to explain how we assumed everyone uses a word the same way.

Ok on catalogue plus
Interesting, but I realised that I communicate in the wrong way quite often, and use the least effective language in order to achieve my goals. I construct sentences that are far too long and repeat myself too much too, so I feel quite down now 🙄🤐😭. I feel that there was a need for more examples, so we could fully understand what she meant in practice.
Overall it was ok on catalogue plus, but I wouldn't pay for it.
