Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Refreshing my Spanish skills
I graduated high school in 1989; to say my Spanish is rusty is not saying much. I loved this audiobook; the lessons are just what I needed, and the progression was not too fast. I am not conversational yet, but with more practice I hope to be.
