July 18, 2009Kudo: I can speak up WITHOUT ticking off the world
This is one of my favorite kudos. I often talk about how when people don’t know what to say, they often say nothing. And when they discover there is alternative to passiveness besides aggression, they will speak. Here’s the kudo that warmed my heart.
“When I first read PowerPhrases, it felt like a candle lit in my mind. Yes, I remember thinking, I can do this. I can say these things. Unlike so many other “self-help” books I’ve read trying to cultivate my self-esteem, PowerPhrases offered me a very simple message: I really could stand up for myself, say what was on my mind and be heard WITHOUT ticking off half the known world.”

March 10, 2008Reader Comment ~ privacy statement
I am in the middle of your Power Phrases book (which I am finding very valuable) and decided to check out your website to see if there were additional offerings to help me to practice and use power phrases regularly and naturally.
I came to your privacy statement as I was about to sign up for your weekly email and I clicked on it, expecting to see the legalese that these statements are always written in. Imagine my surprise and delight in finding the first ever privacy statement that as a layperson (not a lawyer) I could understand easily.
