Speaking Your Mind in 101 Difficult Situations - Softcover

Don Gabor is a communications trainer, founder of Conversation Arts Media, and the author of seven self-help books. A former media spokesperson for Sprint, Frito-Lay, and Grand Marnier, Gabor trains executives, managers, and staff on how to work more effectively with coworkers and clients. A frequent media guest, he has been featured more than a thousand times in print and on radio and TV, including 60 Minutes with Andy Rooney. Gabor has been a member of the National Speakers Association since 1991 and lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Gabor has composed books, audios, and a video on initiating conversations, talking with loved ones, and making new friends. Now he addresses 101 trying situations and delivers specific responses for the timid and the taciturn. His scenarios range from asking for a raise to canceling the wedding. The speaker's perspectives range from that of employee to supervisor, co-worker to co-worker, spouse to parent. Plenty of general advice on communication fills the early section; but readers will probably go straight to their current problem for specifics. A desk reference "Dear Abby." Denise Perry Donavin
