How to Say it for Women provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects of successful communication, an area which can be especially challenging for working women. How do we communicate powerfully, avoiding seeming too young, too girly, too weak, but also without "acting like a man"? Drawing on her extensive experience running seminars on language, power, and leadership, Phyllis Mindell shows how language conveys weakness or strength using Charlotte, the word-weaving spider of Charlotte's Web, as a model. The metaphor may be a bit stretched, but It's less gimmicky than it sounds--as Mindell points out, "Charlotte understood the power of language to change the course of events."The book begins with "the language of weakness," explaining how the wrong language and bad habits can undermine women. It goes on to cover how grammar works to convey power, how to avoid bad habits, how to choose the right words, how to organize writing and presentations, giving talks, presentations, and job interviews, body language, personal style, writing, reading, listening, leadership, handling and responding to insults and put-downs, all the way through managing and mentoring others. Because "the principles of the language of success remain the same even as the settings change," no aspect of communication is unaddressed--this is much more than a quick self-help book. Urging readers to "embrace complexity" and never oversimplifying, the author writes crisply and clearly and provides helpful anecdotes, examples, and practical tips.While I was reading this book, I kept wanting to urge people I know to read it. (And not just women! The advice on topics such as avoiding vagueness or preparing a talk would be useful to anyone.) Mindell excels at clear, succinct explanations of what works and what doesn't and why. How to Say It for Women is well worth reading even for those who are already good communicators, since there's always some room for improvement.

    Women who want to advance into management should invest in this book
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2008*

I purchased this book because of the praise of other Amazon reviewers and I was not disappointed!As a professional in a very male dominated field, this book truly hit home for me - so much so that a few of the points the author made were echoes of comments made previously by my boss about my own performance.  Women fall into many traps that undermine their credibility and this book calls them out, one by one.I can't tell you how often I'm on a conference call and use the words "I think..." or "In my opinion...".  Men don't use these words.  Besides, they know that's what you think - you're the one saying it!  However, justifiers such as these portray you as insecure, whether true or not.  This is just one example of the ways women inadvertently tarnish their credibility.The author covers a vast array of topics and ways to become a stronger leader (and this doesn't necessarily mean you have to be just like a man!):Weak words and grammarPresentations and speaking in front of a groupBody languageStyle and dressReading for Power (what you read and how)ListeningLeadership and ManagementThe author includes many examples to illustrate her points and provides information that women can put to work to accelerate their careers.  It is such a useful text that it was the recommended reading selection for a continuing education course a friend of mine recently attended.  (She has already asked to borrow my copy.)  The author has been conducting workshops on this topic for years and (sometimes humorously) includes her observances from those classes and participants in her book.  Take advantage of her knowledge and invest in this book - you will not be disappointed!

    How to be the speaker you admire
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2008*

Early in my career, I knew I was far more intelligent than my speech presented. One day, after listening to an admired friend say one of her gorgeously precise sentences, I asked her where she had learned to speak so powerfully, always able to find the most effective word, always able to form them into the most on-the-mark sentences. Her answer was this book.I would never have picked it up on my own. The "for women" part would have put me off. I wasn't thinking of my "weak" language as a gender issue. But, even if you don't look at things that way, this book will help you.Read it. Do the exercises. You'll think about language in a whole new way and find yourself being listened to -and believed- more than ever.
