Editorial Reviews

"Better Than Any College Degree." —Jay Conrad Levinson, Guerrilla Marketing Series

"ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR BOOKS SUCH AS THIS!!! FROM author of EXPLOSION IN PARIS…Finally!! A book on the market that comes to my rescue...if only I could remember every word when I need it!! That's why I write! I can think of the perfect retort, the perfect, positive words, the humorous remark or create that spectacular, memorable moment when I write but…to remember the words when confronted with people…my mind is a blank!!! This is so frustrating and humiliating!!! I love this book! Now to tackle menopausal memory loss or disconnection…Another winner!!!! Thank you Meryl Runion!!!" —Linda M. Pirrung"

A "must-read", particularly in this internet era "Power Phrases!: The Perfect Words To Say It Right And Get The Results You Want" by international speaker, trainer, and power motivator Meryl Runion is a solid, useful communication reference for everyone, from laymen to business executives. Its direct, simple presentation of how to phrase things in English to communicate intent as clearly and effectively as possible makes Power Phrases! a "must-read", particularly in this internet era of high-tech misinformation!" —Midwest Book Review

"Opened my eyes.
No letters after my name, just an ordinary Ted. Skimmed the first time through, second time read the illustrations {in grey}, read it the third time. Now I know how "they" do "it"! Been upset with myself every time I feel I'm getting the short end of the stick, controlled, or rolled over by others. Now I can hear it coming, the key words and phrases "they" use to get their own way. So simple when you can hear "see" it coming, to think of correct words or phrases for strong responses of your own. The author does not teach "it" as a control method, but as a way of not allowing yourself to be blown over when others are trying to control you."  —T. D. Bound

"PowerPhrases! is a Winner.
Wow! I loved this book. I recommend this book to anyone needing to communicate more effectively (and don't we all need that). PowerPhrases! is packed with powerful ways to communicate effectively. Meryl Runion has captured the essence of honest, respectful communication. Her book is full of ideas on how to say just the right thing in tough situations. Need to manage your boss? Need to resolve a conflict but save - and even enhance - the relationship? Need to negotiate for what you want? I found all of this and more inside this book. It is easy to read, clear and full of real life examples. Thank you! This is just what I needed. I have already recommended this book to several people from Customer Service Representatives through Vice Presidents." —Dawn Roth
