I read this book so that I could improve my speaking and articulation skills in my work life. This book helps you uncover what type of speaking cadence you may have, what is the root of your speech issues, and how you might be able to overcome those issues and become a well spoken individual. I took off a star because this book was published in 2011 and the author surmises that the individual reading her book has a CD player to listen to the CD paired with this book. Safe to say that there are hardly any CD players / Laptops with CD players in existence today so the format of those audial lessons is outdated and it would have been great if they were available on Spotify or YouTube or a platform that is widely accessible. I also took off a star because in some of the examples the author provided to explain , she uses stories from her real life former clients and the way in which she talks about some of them for a cheap laugh or two for the sake of the book was pretty unsettling to me.
Content and value wise though I would recommend this book.
