SpeakStrong – the book

Thanks to all of you who told me you missed me during my newsletter hiatus. I’ve been on a workathon. The great news is, my next book, Speak Strong, will be ready in time for the New Year. Advanced copies will be available January 2nd. What a wonderful start to the year. I’m told it’s my best work yet.

While Speak Strong won’t be here in time for Christmas, you do still have time to order from the SpeakStrong library. I offer a generous discount on bulk orders. Perfect Phrases for Managers and Supervisors is the most popular bulk order book I have. You can find the discount schedule here. http://www.speakstrong.com/store/qty_discounts.html

If you pre-order Speak Strong, I’ll cover the costs of shipping. Read more about it here: http://www.speakstrong.com/store/speak-strong.html

Childrening

My son visited over Thanksgiving, and that means our technology is newly upgraded. He still enjoys occasional parenting, but the balance has shifted – he “childrens” us more than we “parent” him. And I will say that, as nice as it is to give, receiving feels pretty good too. I think the word “childrening” should be official.

Junior Achievement couldn’t handle him

My husband recently showed me his Junior Achievement brochure from his high school days. He was the president one year, and was kicked out the next. Why? Because he insisted they shouldn’t sell the product they made because the quality was substandard.

My husband started Speaking Strong long before I did.
