February 24, 2009Reader Question ~ Are you making stuff up?
Hi Meryl
SpeakStrong is truly above and beyond PowerPhrases! What I love most about it is that it teaches EQ (Emotional Intelligence) instead of just canned-phrases. It really helps people to see the repercussions of not saying anything.
It calls people out on their stuff but in a way that it allows the individual to see what s/he has sowed/reaped by the lack of communication. The specific examples are excellent (and extremely helpful).
I have one question: Are your examples from live people or are they made up?
Meryl Responds
The stories are real, although I do change them for privacy and clarity. Poetic license, yes. Pure fabrication, no. I collected so many stories over the years that I really do have an example for just about everything. I sometimes fill in a forgotten detail. But life is so full of examples that I could probably illustrate the book with new examples from just last week.
