About this listen

Speak your mind effectively! The best, most direct way to convey your intelligence, expertise, professionalism, and personality to other people is through talking to them. But most people have no idea what they sound like. And even if they do, they don’t think they can change it.

It’s the Way You Say It is a thorough, nuts-and-bolts guide to becoming aware and taking control of how you communicate with others. Dr. Carol Fleming provides detailed advice and scores of exercises for:

  • Understanding how others hear you
  • Dealing with specific speech problems
  • Varying your vocal patterns to make your speech more dynamic
  • Using grammar and vocabulary to increase your clarity and impact
  • Reinforcing your message with nonverbal cues
  • Conquering stage fright

An entire section of the audiobook focuses on communication issues in the workplace - interviews, presentations, voice mail, and more. Dr. Fleming puts a human face on her advice through vivid before-and-after stories of 40 men and women who came to her for help...

Critic reviews

"No other skills will position you ahead of your competition as much as good speaking and presentation skills. No book approaches the depth and breadth of Dr. Carol Fleming’s It’s the Way You Say It." (Patricia Fripp, CSP, CPAE, keynote speaker, executive speech coach, and president of Fripp & Associates)

Record and assess. This advice has been loosely advised when I started out to change my speech pattern. It's hard. Because you tend to use another "voice" when you record. The only time you can record yourself in your natural speech is to get someone else to do it for you (and without you knowing). This book is a joy to listen to. It shares other people's experience. Gives me a sense of comradery. I tried again and managed to record myself (i.e. I forgot that I was recording, so.) and yes, same reaction: "Stop!". I hated what I heard. Definitely not what I hear through my ears and in my head in realtime. I wished I have Carol to assess me and get me out of this rut! Oh well, at least I have this audiobook as guide.

Fantastic guide!

Only buy I guess if you are looking to change the WAY you speak as in pronunciation!

Waste of my credit
