    <![CDATA[Phyllis Mindell, an acclaimed expert on professional communications, shows women how to transform themselves by transforming their language; shed weak words, phrases, and gestures; empower themselves to win attention and respect; and get their ideas across with confidence and power.    <p>Perhaps the best teacher of how the power of language can transform is an unexpected one: Charlotte the spider of E.B. White's, Charlotte's Web. Mindell demonstrates how Charlotte communicated messages that gained national attention and saved a friend's life. As a model, she combines female strengths of wisdom and compassion with the determination and power to make a difference.    <p>As part of Prentice Hall Press's highly successful How to Say It tm series, How to Say It tm for Women is packed with practical tips, techniques, and examples that arm women to grapple with every communication issue, from choosing the right word or sentence to speaking, reading, writing, leading, dressing, and interviewing effectively. Readers will learn how to: shun  words that weaken messages and make women invisible; sail through interviews; assess and develop leadership skills; say NO, kindly but firmly; respond appropriately to slurs, insults, and harassment; say the one winning word that  gets people to follow directions.    <p>True stories about women in every field, along with quotes from Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Carla Hills, Amelia Earhart, Elizabeth Dole and others, enable women to  tap  the power of words to persuade, motivate, establish authority, and make a difference-- without sacrificing their integrity, their compassion, or their femininity.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Business people estimate they spend 40% of their work time reading.  Businesses spend trillions of dollars a year on employee reading, yet they don't measure how efficiently that reading is done.  This book will NOT show you how to speed read, since, according to the author, speed reading doesn't work.  This book teaches the principles of Power Reading, helping you increase your reading efficiency at work by 10 to 70 percent.  The book also shows you how to apply Power Reading skills to the computer screen, and demonstrates ways to improve writing, listening and study skills.]]>
