Speak Strong

by Meryl Runion

Overview

Learn to strengthen your communication skills and handle difficult conversations with confidence in this guide from the author of Power Phrases.

Research shows ninety percent of us stay silent in situations that call for strong words. But while many of us don’t want to rock the boat, author Meryl Runion explains that some boats need to be rocked—provided that it happens for the right reasons, at the right time, and in the right way.

In Speak Srong, Runion helps you know when it’s time to speak up, overcome resistance to unwelcome truths, establish and implement boundaries, create new communication standards, supercharge your message, elevate the quality of your conversations, overcome destructive communication habits, and put your best foot forward sincerely.
