Allison Friederichs Atkison
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.
Join Dr. Allison Friederichs to discover how every single interaction we have is an opportunity to use clear and compelling communication tactics. However daunting or unpredictable the situation, we have the power to strategically choose how we communicate. Every single time. And how we communicate can change everything.
Over the course of 10 lessons, you will have fun exploring words—what they offer us, where they come from, what influences their meaning and vice versa, and how to expand your vocabulary. You’ll learn how to choose the right words for every scenario, and you’ll learn how those words can revolutionize your personal and professional life.

edit: Once I finished it I changed my review. While I can't say there was new material for me there were lots of good reminders and good examples. It would be an awesome course for high school.

Con; too short, would have loved to listen to more of the authors work!

This course deserves a second listen.
The narrator was also excellent. She actually seemed to be thoroughly engaged in the reading which is refreshing when so many narrate with absolutely no feeling. It's as though they are bored and can't wait to finish and get paid!

I want to become an effective communicator since I hire and work with a lot of freelancers of different backgrounds and nationalities.
How (it Executed)
The majority of the lessons taught here are introductory to the world of interpersonal communication. They're easy to digest, but lack depth. The ground covered here is explained in considerable more depth in "How to Win Friends and Influence People" (if you want something based on anecdotes applicable to many different circumstances) and "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" (if you want something based on social experiments applicable to marketing circumstances).
What (I'll Remember)
The final lecture describes how to use inclusive language, and while Atkison tells you to use it because of the obvious reason that there's a chance whoever you're speaking with may be offended if you don't, she also insists on it because you don't want them to notice your lack of inclusive language and form a more negative opinion of your character from it. Teaching people to be ethical because it benefits them I feel is a clever and effective way to teach.
