She shows how to recognize the best ways to communicate, from the center or the edge, and how one style of communication isn’t always adequate. Practical tips, like recording your telephone etiquette to analyze how you sound, are also discussed, as well as modern technology hints like how to use voice-mail and e-mail effectively. If you want to communicate like a leader, Power Talk will set you on the path to being heard. Recommended. Marty D.

Semi-helpful, Jul 30 2003Reviewer: A customerThe first six chapters are helpful and contain useful information about the use of Language from the Center and from the Edge. However, the next two chapters are simply the author’s social commentary about not pre-judging people on their differences in communication. The last chapter is just an overview of the study of linguistics.
