Richard S. Gallagher LMFT

My specialty is teaching people how to communicate in difficult situations. As a former customer service executive - and now as a speaker, trainer, and practicing therapist - my books and training programs explore the mechanics of how we communicate, based on recent principles of behavioral psychology.

I am perhaps best known for my two #1 customer service bestsellers The Customer Service Survival Kit (AMACOM, 2013) and What to Say to a Porcupine (AMACOM, 2008), as well as How to Tell Anyone Anything (AMACOM, 2009), which explores how to handle difficult workplace conversations.

If you are looking for "smile training" or basic advice on communications skills, there are lots of books out there. But if you want to learn what to say to someone after you've just towed their car away - or how to talk to a co-worker who needs to shower more often - or what will defuse a toxic boss - you've come to the right place! Enjoy my books, or Google me to learn more. Welcome!

Like many other “how to make money writing” books out there. This one suggests focusing on a specialty area of writing, like for technical documentation or writing for trade magazines or for online company marketing efforts. Also describes the author’s ghostwriting practice, but suggests it is very difficult to enter this market. I found the writing was fine, and the stories interesting, making this one of the better of the bunch.

It's ok

Sorry but this the same blather I read in every Freelance writing book I have read since the turn of the century. Trust me, I have read plenty. The one thing it has over the others is that it is well written...Congratulations.
